<p>yeah the worst was def the oh so detailed beach one…i think i did well on it though…i hope…questions seemed easy it was just comprehending the suckage that was the story</p>
<p>i hope i atleast made what the average is on CC lol</p>
<p>yeah, once you got past the comprehension part, the questions were not too bad… it was such an unnecessary story though… oh well, at least this reading was a just tad bit harder than the april reading… so the curve will hopefully be -1 = 35 instead of -1 = 34…</p>
<p>yeah i hope so…i need that nice curve lol!</p>
<p>Did they clear the RAM (memory) off your calculator right before you took the ACT? (I took the June one too)</p>
<p>I was soooooo mad after our proctor cleared my calculator’s RAM. All my formulas for physics and math (for school) were gone not to mention anything I had for the ACT. Was she supposed to? Nobody else did it for the SAT or the PSAT. </p>
<p>Was she supposed to?</p>
<p>Nope, my proctor just checked to see if we all had permitted calculators and that was it.</p>
<p>Wow that really sucks, my proctors have never done that and i’m glad for it.</p>
<p>You must be joking.</p>
<p>there’s no way that happens. I’ve never heard of that happening.</p>
<p>If it did, that teacher is the most intellectually inept person in existence.</p>
<p>the proctor is not supposed to do anything to your calculator</p>
<p>you must have had an idiot of a proctor</p>
<p>thats terrible man!</p>
<p>no, I’m not joking…why would I be joking about that?
Yeah, it was stupid, but what could I do? I wanted to take the test.
It completely threw me off though, I guess I’m pretty much calculator dependent–> I was used to using my calculator on practice tests
I think I’ll tell those ACT people though, since it didn’t happen to any of my friends who took the test at other centers either.</p>
<p>Sorry to post twice in a row…but I found this on the ACT website: </p>
<p>"During the Mathematics Test, testing staff will check your calculator to ensure that:</p>
<pre><code>* it is a permitted type;
- you use it only during the Mathematics Test;
- you use your backup calculator only if your primary calculator fails;
- you do not share your calculator; and
- you do not store test materials in your calculator’s memory. "
</code></pre>
<p>Does that mean that they were allowed to get rid of my calculator’s memory? I didn’t have “test materials” in the literal sense of the world, but I did have formulas</p>
<p>the proctors could possibly argue that to stay outta trouble but idk man it just sounds like a bad deal for you! i wouldnt take it there again if i was you lol</p>
<p>I guess technically they could wipe the memory, but I’ve never heard of it happening. At my test center, they barely checked calculators at all. They just kind of glanced over to make sure no one had a TI-89 or something.</p>
<p>same here

<p>does anyone remember the last 5 LETTER choices for the last science passage on dialysis? i want to see if i guessed right on any of the questions.</p>
<p>No i don’t, sorry.</p>
<p>You can put all those programs on your Harddrive and take it off of the RAM. So when she clears your RAM, it’s still there in the HDD, and when she’s gone, put it back into RAM so you can use it. Just archive it. Go to (2nd) Memory, and I think you press 2, 7, and then you can archive whatever you want to. I back up everything on my computer, so that really helps.</p>
<p>thanks RahoulVA</p>

<p>No, it means you aren’t allowed to steal questions off the test by typing them into your calculator (though how they could tell if you were doing that, I have no idea). ACT has many restrictions on calculators, but nowhere do they say you can’t store formulas and bring them with you and use them during the test.</p>
