ronmexico Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Urgh, this test is rigged: Question: When you make a mistake in sewing, what tool might you need? Answer: I said pincushion, which on wiki it clearly states can be used in sewing, the answer they said was seam reaper. Stupid 2 answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid 2 answers. make A MISTAKE. not just sewing in general. and when you make a mistake in sewing, you use a seam ripper to "start over." pincushions don't help with mistakes - they just hold your needles until you need them. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good point. I was rushing to beat Eric's score =( and I guess I didn't pay attention to the questoin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroEric Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Ten for ten, but EIGHT seconds too slow! I think AstroEric is on 'roids. I'm on brain 'roids, baby! If I can make a 1480 on the SAT*, this is a piece of cake. *Funny story about this. I might share later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is 1480 good? I took it a couple months ago and I got 1890. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronmexico Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Is 1480 good? I took it a couple months ago and I got 1890. LOL, 1480 out of 1600 he means, cause I know he's older then 21. Now they've switched to the 2400 point system, which is why his 1480 is comparable to a 2220 (pending he did the same on the essay/writing portion). I picked up a 2080, which I hope gets me into a college that I wanna go to :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Do you think more states have the ACT or SAT as an entrance exam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronmexico Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 State schools? More states administer the exam? Can you clarify? I know schools convert the ACT scores to SAT equivilants as per this chart, http://www.ivywest.com/acttosat.htm but I'm not following what you say.

kgbaseball Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I was thinking that here in Wisconsin, the ACT is far more common than taking the SAT. I was wondering if most states are like that or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronmexico Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 This is what I found. The ACT is a standardized test to get into colleges. Most universities will accept either the ACT or the SAT, but the ACT is a nice alternative to the SAT for some students because it is curriculum based. This means it tests a set of content that you can very directly study for, and if you put in the time your score will go up. The import of the ACT can vary from student to student, however. For some students, taking both the SAT and ACT is a great option because they can submit whichever of the two scores is better (based on their percentile ranking) which then lets them increase their odds of acceptance in college admissions. For other students, the ACT is important because it lets them qualify for particular scholarships or programs. For example, certain camps or universities with special programs for middle school students will accept a certain score on the ACT for admission into their summer program. In other cases, some universities will have special scholarships established that require a minimum ACT score to qualify, hence taking the ACT qualifies students for these opportunities. Taking both the ACT and SAT is highly recommended as most students have nothing to lose and much to gain. From my understanding, the SAT, nationally is the more taken test, and in NY, I am positive that it is the test of choice. Reading through this article, I really should have taken the ACT, seems more like the test for me :hmph: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 ACT was pretty easy, and I'm glad that's the one I took. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroEric Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Oh wow. I didn't even know they'd changed. Yeah, mine was 1480 out of 1600. I made a bet with another smart friend of mine -- a case of beer and $25 to whoever made the higher score. I got mine, and I was so excited. I knew I'd won. So I called the *******. He'd gotten a 1600. He went to Yale. I didn't. But I did get a perfect 800 on verbal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroEric Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I'm a little uncomfortable that I aced the question in the "How much do you know about John Wayne Gacy?" category. Mine today had annoying little messages, like, "I sure am enjoying this transliteralation category! How about you? Would you like to have another question? That sounds awesome!" Edited to add the Gacy to the Wayne. Double-edited to congratulate Piston -- all 10 in 44? I haven't done that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
