<p>What do you think the curve will be for today's ACT test? I personally though the English was pretty easy, Math and Reading were a little bit harder than usual, and the Science was normal.</p>
<p>I agree with you. Science and English were pretty normal. Math was a lot harder for me than usual because of all the planar and coordinate geometry questions</p>
<p>You may be operating under a misconception. A curve implies that scores vary according to how those taking the particular test do. ACT does not work that way. ACT has various tests that it uses over time with minor changes now and then. For each test the number correct in a section that you need to score to acheive any particular score on the 36 scale is determined before you ever take the test. Your score will not vary based on how well or poorly the persons who took the test yesterday actually did as a group.</p>
<p>I totally disagree. How do the ACT people know how hard the test is? Besides, all ACTs are designed to be of the same difficulty. The only way to designate curves is how all test-takers in general perform.</p>
<p>drusba is right. Just look at their website. It’s the same thing with the SAT</p>
<p>Generally when a test is a little bit harder, it’s going to affect the curve. Yes, they always have the same number of each type of questions each time. However, the contents may be slightly harder on some tests rather than others. For instance, trigonometry. Some previous test’s trigonometric problems have more simpler concepts like finding angles through sohcahtoa, while this one focuses more on the law of sins. Granted, they had a couple easy ones as well, but I’ll guarantee more people will remember the basics of finding an angle rather than a law that was not consistently needed throughout the whole year of precalc/trig.</p>
<p>I struggled in the reading for sure but I thought the math was eh</p>
<p>The reading got to me… I did great with the math.</p>
