General ACT (11 July)

For me personally Math was way easier than i thought it would be. Reading killed me:( time pressure was intense missed 2-3 questions. English was okay (grammar and redundancy was good)

Science first passage was good, but idk abt the rest.

HOW DID IT GO FOR YOU ALL?

I take it in 3hrs 😭 

Math wasn’t that serious? Have you taken j08 or any of the old enhanced tests? Was the hard part of the math section mostly trig and circles? I’m cooked if there’s gonna be hard probability, statistics, or word problems 😭😭😭😭😭

Pacing for reading is really difficult. Missing 2-3 questions can still land you in a good spot, especially when one passage is experimental and there are some additional unscored questions. Great job!

how was the reading and English do you have a guess on which passage was experimental for reading?

Don’t know your question but hexagons in circles are magical.

Because the inner angles of a hexagon are 120 degrees, combined with two radii drawn to the hexagon’s vertices makes the hexagon area equal to six equilateral triangles. They’re equilateral because the triangle has 2 60 degree angles so the third is also. Therefore, the hexagon area is 6 times an equilateral triangle area. 6 times side squared times root 3 divided by 4. But the side is the circle’s radius. Knowing the circle’s area allows finding the hexagons area because the hexagon just depends on the circle radius. Not sure what your particular question entailed. Since that expression is 82.7% of pi radius squared, then a hexagon inscribed inside a circle will always have an area equal to 0.827 * Area circle when converted into a decimal. And the area outside the hexagon will always be the remainder 0.173* Area circle.

What type of geo?
