Anyone have any tips for the act test?
Drydess:
are radians even on the act? i think i recall they arent
Nonnel:
I remember there were a few sin, cos, tan questions but not enough to make a real impact. I didn't remember anything about them going in. You've got a 25% chance to guess them right
FireFlame2:
I fell asleep 5 times and I still got an 18... Also heard if you guess all the same answer you'll get a 15 but I wouldn't trust that.
hillkill:
I want to at least get a 21. Anything below a 20 in the university I plan on going to needs to take a separate placement test to see if they qualify for being a student.

Well, if each question has a 1/4th chance of being right, regardless of which one you pick (assuming you guess on all of them) then that means your total /average/ likely percentage correct on each section is about 25%. Which means that if the ACT is out of 36, you can expect to get a 9.
If the distribution of ACT answers (a, b, c, or d) is not equal; then that changes the expected result based on which specific letter you pick, and which ones are more likely to be correct.
Though getting a 15 average is a bit of a stretch; I guess it's theoretically possible.
