The Official February 10th ACT Thread

<p>i cant remember the letters of the last three math quesitons, only the actual problems… i do remember those being kind of easy for being at the end though.</p>

<p>nope i don’t remember any</p>

<p>anyone remember the answer to the math question wehre I, II, III were given. i ended up having to do a complete guess on this because of time and gettin stuck on another problem. i put H…did i get lucky?</p>

<p>what did everyone put for the telephone one where it asked how long they had to talk for the prices to be equal, I didn’t think any of the answers worked.
also, on english, what did everyone get for the one that asked about being caught by a fisherman?</p>

<p>for the english one, i said yes. after that sentence it then described a fish swimming really fast, giving the impression of it trying to escape.
the telephone one was 11. im assuming u thought it was 10…i did too. when i then remembered was that 10 was teh amount of minutes in addition to the first one. 10+1=11</p>

<p>Yeah, I put 11 on the telephone also. For the fisherman question, I chose to include it, but I can’t remember which of the two “Yes; …” answers I chose.</p>

<p>i think the '“yes” i chose had something to do with it relating to the next sentence/remainder of the paragraph</p>

<p>what about the goosebump one? i thought you could include it because it talked about cold in the next sentence.</p>

<p>no i definitely dont think that the fisherman question was “yes” because the essay was describing the incredible feeling that the swimmer embraces when snorkeling–not about being scared to be caught by anything.</p>

<p>i agree for the fisherman one. i put yes because it limited the freedom</p>

<p>pall, which question is “i put yes because it limited the freedom” referring to?</p>

<p>i thought that one was easy. The answer was “no” because the passage was about a person who was once fearful of the water, yet embraced the beauty of the underwater world–so there’s no way that “-being caught by a fisherman” should have been added b/c at that point the author was describing how she felt free like a fish. to be caught obviously contradicts the author’s message that she felt free.</p>

<p>haha sorry, i actually meant that i put no since it limited the freedom</p>

<p>sorry for not clarifying, i meant the fisherman one</p>

<p>what did you guys get for the third to the last math question? it was about finding the function that contained the points (-3, 0), (0,0), and (6,0)–i dont remember the choices but i put H.</p>

<p>On the goosebump one I put yes for the same reason pall said.</p>

<p>On that math problem, I don’t remember the letter of the answer, but I solved it by expanding x(x+3)(x-6) = 0.</p>

<p>oh its fine, just got a little confused. i agree with the sense of freedom…i chose yes (not the one about being afraid/chased) because the following sentence(s) described the same actions a fish goes through (fast swimming, gliding through seaweed etc) when avoiding being caught. opposite of being caught=freedom…just my train of thought…</p>

<p>i knew it was xcubed for x to be positive and have three points on y=0, i just plugged the xcubed equaitons into my calculator. only one of them worked. i want to say it was the last one</p>

<p>i was really unsure about the the fisherman and goosebumps ones, but i said no (it restricts freedom) for the fisherman and i remember saying yes for the goosebumps one…</p>

<p>english: grammar was easy, but the style questions were harder than october
math: easy, but way too many word problems toward the end
reading: hard- i didn’t come close to finishing.
science: easy, with the exception of the dualing scientists, which i saved for last. we happened to be learning about RNA replication right now in ap biology, so the sixth section was incredibly easy!</p>
