ACT Curve

<p>Post your prediction for ACT curve (April 2011)</p>

<p>My Predictions:</p>

<p>English: Math: Reading: Science:
0 36 0 36 0 36 0 36
-1 35 -1 35 -1 36 -1 36
-2 34 -2 35 -2 35 -2 35
-3 33 -3 34 -3 34 -3 34
-4 32 -4 33 -4 33 -4 34</p>

<p>English seems on the dot. I don’t think Reading warranted a -1 to be a 36. I can’t gauge how difficult the Math was, I just did it. Science- I certainly HOPE that’s the curve.</p>

<p>science should be -2 = 36 bc the ribosome question required outside knowledge</p>

<p>I agree with you on the curve. At least, I’m hoping that’s the one for reading / science !</p>

<p>it wont be that (-2 =36)bc of the ribosome question. the whole nueron/lens cell bs question from the last test proves it.</p>

<p>I really hope -4 in Science is a 34…pleeease lol</p>

<p>And -4 in Math being a 33 would be AWESOME</p>

<p><em>keeps worrying about S & M</em></p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Nah, I took one ACT where I needed to know that ice crystals formed in some type of columbus cloud and it was -1 = 35.</p>

<p>-1 is almost never a 36 and even if it is then scores will be skipped at 31-33.</p>

<p>Reading almost never has a -1 with a 36 either unless it was literally impossible (5 or 6 interpretation questions or the such). If it does, then there will probably be score skips at 32-33.</p>

<p>

lol
Most likely from prior tests either:
-1 35
-2 34
-3 33
-4 32</p>

<p>or</p>

<p>-1 36
-2 35
-3 34
-4 33
-5 31</p>

<p>

There’s a high chance for that compared to the other score predictions.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>****…</p>

<p>Time to stop praying for the curve and start praying for my score. ;p</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Awesome. I’m almost postitive I got 36’s on English and Reading, so 32 in M/S (or something else that adds to 64) and I’ll be okay…</p>

<p>@missxsilverwing you can get 35’s on english and reading and 32 in math/science and still get the 34…</p>

<p>you do know that the ACT rounds up, right? I had a [34, 34, 32, 30] and that averages to a 32.5, and my final composite was a 33.</p>

<p>I thought this reading section was kinda hard… so I’m hoping the -1 = 36 will be true. Maybe I’ll pull a 34 on that part and that would be awesome :)</p>

<p>English…
It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t easy either.
Maybe if we’re lucky we’ll get -1, -2 both = 35?
^Wishful thinking, I know. </p>

<p>I thought math was pretty easy, but I’m pretty good at ACT math.
I think I may have missed one though. So if it’s as hard as some people are saying it was, maybe a -1 will be 36 :)</p>

<p>I also thought science was pretty easy. But I’ve seen a lot of people say they felt bad about it.
And again, if this was -1 was 36, I’d be more than thrilled :)</p>

<p>Buuuuuut…
If -1 on science is a 36…
They might skip the 35, and say -2 is 34.
If that’s the case, and I made two mistakes… Ouch.</p>

<p>^A bit optimistic there.</p>

<p>Haha yeah I figured.
Gahhhh well I know the highest I could have gotten on math is 35… lamesauce :(</p>

<p>8 days!</p>

<p>Bump :)</p>

<p>The wait for scores is the hardest part…</p>

<p>But yeah, only a week away!!!</p>

<p>What time of day are scores usually posted?</p>

<p>midnight eastern time i think of the 25th correct me someone if im wrong</p>

<p>-1=36 for reading would be generous and from the best of my knowledge, unprecedented. However, I agree this must be the case for science. The ribosome question (which I was able to get, but only by POE, and then a guess) obviosuly required outside knowledge in biology.</p>

<p>@atlanta, I think it might actually be midnight central time. I’m in Oklahoma and I remember seeing my scores come on at midnight :)</p>

<p>@Mike, I heard someone say that on the February test they also had a science question that required outside knowledge, and the curve wasn’t -1 = 36? But I’m not sure. Maybe I read wrong.</p>

<p>Do test scores come up after your essay score? Or does the essay score come up after your MC scores come up?</p>

<p>Well, on the Feb. test, my essay score came along with the composite score online.
It was just at the bottom of the page I think. </p>

<p>Most composite scores (with or without the essay score) will come out on Monday at midnight. But for some, the essay score might not come out until a few days after, I think.</p>

<p>If that’s the case, then it will probably be -1=35. I didn’t take Feb, but the question on this test…you could not know the answer from beans if you didn’t remember stuff from Bio.</p>

<p>What might suck for me is if I get a 28-30 composite, and then like a 7 or 8 for the essay. I only did a page and a half and everyone else here seems to have done like 3 pages.</p>
