<p>The Jacksonville/Austin question was the last one on the science about the 2 students with different theories regarding bouyancy and air resistance. It asked in which city would gravity be more, and hence objects accelerate faster: a city above sea level or on sea level. (I think that’s the gist of the question)</p>
<p>And to solve the OBCD question, all you had to do was take the area of the square encompassing the shape and then subtract off the two triangles which are inside the square but outside of OBCD.</p>
<p>The main question I’m interested to know the answer for was the one involving the poet on the English section. It was a sentence about what he did after his mentor left, and the two answer choices I chose between were something like ‘continued his conversation’ or ‘continued his conversation through poetry’. I decided on the latter, because it was clearer, but the more concise answer may have been correct…I’m not certain.</p>
<p>The other was question #19 on my test form. It was a choice between ‘He nodded, and said’ and ‘He nodded in agreement and spoke, saying that’. For this one, I chose the former because it was more concise and clear.</p>
<p>If i remember correctly, it should have been continued his conversation because I believe the sentence started with something like “In his poems…” or something like that and so it would be redundant to see “through poetry.”</p>
<p>Dunno why I decided to change to the redundant answer; our minds work in weird ways on test day. Guess I’ll just have to miss the 36 again.</p>
<p>C’est la vie! :)</p>
<p>P.S. -</p>
<p>As a side note, when everyone was doing reading, did you find it extremely difficult to find exact content confirming some of the answers? There were a number of questions where I was at a loss to do so, and had to go on ‘feel’ using skimming.</p>
<p>on the math section, there was a polynomial function, and it asked for something that deals with k? the zeroes or something. I didn’t know how to do that one.</p>
<p>oh and on the front of the answer sheet, we had to copy that thing about how we follow the rules and blah blah blah. I copied the wrong paragraph. We were suppose to read that 5 sentences about the rules, and then below that it says, copy the statement below. the statement was only like 1 sentence. but I copied the wrong part, I copied the longer part…the part that we were suppose to read…ummmm what’s gonna happen???</p>
<p>I have the same question as Chiron, in the English passage about the poetry guy. I ended up choosing “continued his conversation” because the sentence started with “In his poems”, but I thought that “continued his conversation through poetry” still sounds better even it’s redundant.</p>
<p>Nice job Achang! Actually, in all seriousness, I doubt it will affect anything.</p>
<p>About that English question. The only merit I can see in the longer answer is something that only people who took the June ACT would know.</p>
<p>You see, there was a question on the June ACT, where you had to choose between ‘helped my relationships’ and ‘strengthened my current relationships and helped to fortify new ones’. The answer was the latter: even if it was more wordy, it sounded better. Granted, it is not the same thing, because this one has the issue of probably being redundant. But it is a similar comparison.</p>
<p>achang, i definitely wrote the long part for the statement thing too!! but i erased mine right before and fixed it.
lol ur probly fine
but i was like, how come everybody is already done writing? lol</p>
Actually, in all seriousness, I doubt it will affect anything.</p>
