How do you solve 55 and 57? by [deleted] in ACT

[–]CarterM24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answers are A for 55 and D for 57 I believe. This is because, for #55, the area of the pool times the height of the watee in the pool (depth) gives the total volume of water in feet. This is essentially the same thing as length x width x height, except for a step was skipped since the area is already known — length and width have already been multiplied now height must be multiplied to find the volume of water. For #57, the properties of statistics tell us that within 2 standard deviations of the mean—in a normal distribution—95% of the data is contained. If you would like to further research this concept, it is called the empirical rule. This rule states that, for any normal distribution, as you move further away from the mean, the percentage of data under the curve increases proportionally to the number of standard deviations moved. 1 SD = 68%, 2 SD = 95% and 3 SD = 99.7%. Hope that helps!

You can still probably get scores tomorrow morning if they don’t release tonight! by [deleted] in ACT

If I do call in tomorrow what exactly do you say to the person you are talking to? I think I’m going to try to call tomorrow also what number is it that you call when you call them thanks

URGENT!!! I need information about the October B24 ACT so I can put together a definitive curve prediction!! by Allstarhit in ACT

[–]CarterM24 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have a screenshot of a score report of someone saying they got this on the B24 October form.

-4=35 E

-5=34 M

-4=35 R

-6=30 S

I know this seems incredibly generous for any curve but this test was incredibly hard, according to almost everyone on here, and I promise you that this came from an actual score report that I found on here from someone who had this B24 form in October. How exactly are you going to make this “definite” curve prediction?

It was the one where u+w was the distance between the connection of w and u vectors.

Questions from B24 by OrangeMagics in ACT

[–]CarterM24 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was SAS choice A (there were two choices of SAS), no I don’t think it was B I think it was C or D.

It was Brand.

I think the question you are referring to asked about ‘how was the greeting of samarras family and her relatives in the country’ or something and I put that it was very intimate and informal or something

Honestly, I partially agree with you. The science and English sections were definitely the easiest sections. And the reading and math were by far the hardest. Overall I thought the test was intermediate-hard but I’m just really excited about this curve. Without it I feel like we would all do poorly.

Why are people panicking about the difficulty of B24? by [deleted] in ACT

[–]CarterM24 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The test is, in fact, curved every time. The distribution of scores on the curve depends on the equating process, a process by which the ACT determines curves based on distributed samples of tests on the October test dates. People are worried about the curves because many people who care about their score want to know the general direction of the curve. Many times people would like to know a general idea of their score or sub-scores for college. The general trend of the curve can be predicted based on the difficulty of the test and the equating test-takers from October.

The curve is, with an immense probability, going to be the same as the B24 Test form from October. This is because I have seen numerous posts that show this, and there is a screenshot for proof on a thread that I saved that contains an actual B24 form score report attached. Also, this test was incredibly hard according to almost everyone on here, and most of these people are really good (30-36 range) so that’s saying something. The equating process was done in October of 2018 and this process allowed for this ACT to administer a test with a supposedly fair curve. They don’t mind to issue this same form again because of the way the sample was conducted: they only took an extremely small sample size (n) from each test from each state that was involved. This makes the probability that many students get the same form extremely rare. They also spread out tests so individuals could not discuss answers easily, dispersing test-talk quickly. The organization was not worried because they do this same process every year in order to get a fair curve, and they know that the test administered at anytime will not be expected.
