<p>It was something along the lines of “what is y/x” and the angle, we’ll say, was 4 degrees. So you had to figure out what y/x was, which was the hypotenuse over the adjacent side. That is the inverse of cosine, so it would be 1/cos.</p>

<p>@Aerienne: the pressure would lower if the water was not refilled because the water pressure would decrease. The deeper the water, the greater the water pressure, since there is more water above pushing down.
6 doubles would mean that after meiosis I there are 3 doubles per cell, and after meiosis II there would be 3 singles per cell. But I got horse and dog too, respectively.</p>

302

<p>Ah ok, i think i actually put 1/cos, i did use that logic, just didn’t remember which trig i put</p>

<p>i also put decrease, and lower pressure, but i put alligator instead of horse (prob got that wrong i guess, i wasn’t too sure on the last passage, haven’t taken bio since freshman year), and i put dog, but there were 2 choices with dog i think, which one was it?</p>

<p>was one of the science answers in the last passage 1?</p>

<p>it was like, there are 4 X cells, what does it end up as after meiosis</p>

303

<p>what do student 1 and student 2 both agree on…i forgot what i put and/or options…</p>

304

<p>why am i remembering the -3i problem iwth it being under a radical? i know i put that answer choice but i remember a radical being tehre…does anyone remember if it was like the last choice or something? </p>

<p>alsoooo for the graph question with teh kids with b averages and speeding…i remember the first and third graph both were good answers…but one was better. i guess the first one? can someone explian why</p>

305

<p>i thought that graph with the b averages was so confusing. =P and the one with the imaginary number i in it. what was the answer to that?</p>

306

<p>Alright Steve Jobs question for you… There was an english question and sorry I don’t remember the wording but it had a list of three things… Do you put a comma after the last one?!</p>

307

<p>No because if I remember correctly your thinking of the blah, blah, AND blah…no comma after the last</p>

308

<p>also why was the answer dog and not human?? i dont remember the question or answers can someone explain</p>

309

<p>zeek, i think for that particular question, i didn’t put a comma after the 3rd one</p>

<p>which dog answer was it? i definitely put dog, but there were 2 dog choices</p>

310

<p>I am fairly certain it was the 2n dog.</p>

311

<p>Science - Much easier for me, weird everyone is saying harder.
Reading - Tougher, 1st one was crazy and a bit of a confidence killer but i dominated 3 and 4.
Math - About the same maybe a bit tougher.
English - Same</p>

<p>When do the scores come out online?</p>

312

<p>9/28. I hope mine aren’t delayed like they were last time. I’m anxious to see how everything turned out.</p>

313

<p>@theasterisk </p>

<p>it was 2n dog, or the dog “before entering meiosis”
thats what the answer choice said</p>

314

<p>I agree with what everyone else is saying…the first passage on the english was so hard…I got confused half way through…</p>

<p>math was harder than the previous tests I’ve taken…the I guessed on the ferris wheel question, the area under the curve question, and some others…but then again, I’m not good at math. I’m hoping for at least a 26</p>

<p>english was easy. science was easy except for maybe the last question regarding the number of single cells…</p>

315

<p>what did you get for the area one…i got 24…based on slope…</p>

316

<p>the area one just ended up being a triangle
the slope was 3/8, and the bounds were x=8
so the base was 8 and height was 3, so the area is 12</p>

317

<p>Today was the first time I’d taken the ACT, but the only section that seemed slightly harder than the red prep book was math. english and reading were fairly easy, and science had a few tough questions.</p>

318

<p>English was a breeze. I even had some time left over, so I checked over my answers and corrected 2 of them. </p>

<p>Reading wasn’t that bad. I thought the questions were pretty straightforward for the most part. </p>

<p>Math went pretty well. I thought it was much easier than June’s. </p>

<p>Science was not that bad. The first few sections were pretty smooth. The last section was one you really had to look at, so I made sure I reread the questions. Ultimately, I saw an error I had made which helped me out so much.</p>

319

<p>I read the question as…find the bounded area with the equations y=3/8x (after simplifying) and x=0 and y=0
making a rectangle</p>

320

<p>English was pretty easy.</p>

<p>Math was a joke (I hope).</p>

<p>Reading was much better than usual.</p>

<p>Science really wasn’t bad at all.</p>

<p>Now let’s just all hope for a high score!</p>
