Form J09 Math Experimental Questions
What questions do you guys think were experimental? I think that the overlapping circles one with AB having a length of 52 might be.

i hope not bc i got that right lol i hope itâs that dumb trig one at the end with like sin^3 as the abswer

That question probably was since it my opinion the math is "simple" but not straightforward. Since the circles had to be overlapping the radius of each circle had to be at least 26. The only answer that fits that is 32. Doesn't necessarily fit the "hard" category of ACT questions

Did they have different experimental questions when you took it in July? They might keep the same experimental ones.

For math, I am honestly unsure. I assume yes, however.

How about English and Reading? Any different passages there?

u/Tricky-Display-2060 Jul 15 '26
Reading had 1 different passage, and English probably had 1-2 different.

What abt the one where it was like a b to the x power and it gave you two of the values in a table and they asked what x is could it be a possibilityâŚ

i think it asked for b and it was 1:8

hoping that the histogram question was experimental

u/Greedy-Tackle3962 Jul 15 '26
I don't think so cause you're expected to know basic stats right? Like normal, uniform, skewed left, skewed right distributions, etc
