ACT "Difficulty Rating"

Test Preparation ACT Preparation
1

<p>Just to get an idea of what the curves might be like for each section. I saw this in another thread and thought it was really cool!
If you think that the given section was:
- easy, add a [l] to the tallies
- medium, add [ll] to the taillies
- hard, add [lll] to the tallies<br>
Add the other tallies on the most recent post to your post so they can accumulate as people input their thoughts. This, hopefully, will give us a visual as the what the curves will be like!
Note: Lower-case L :)
I'll start it!</p>

<p>English: ll
Math: lll
Reading: lll
Science: l</p>

2

<p>English: II (more vocabulary than usual, had a lot of “no changes”)
Math: III (those last 10… and the rhombus…)
Reading: I
Science: I</p>

3

<p>English-ll
Math-l
Science-IIII
Reading-Death Megatron.</p>

4

<p>English - III To much use of “though”. No one knows the fecking rule for “though”. i dont see how i could have broken a 30.</p>

<p>Math - III… eughhh</p>

<p>Reading - III</p>

<p>Science - I.5 surprisingly, I finished. it must have been easy.</p>

<p>for comparison sakes I made a 30 on the previous ACT.</p>

5

<p>First time test taker, so I will rate it relative to the SAT and each other I suppose.</p>

<p>English: II
Math: II
Reading: III
Science: I</p>

6

<p>English - lll
Math - llllll
Reading - ll
Science - ll
Speechless</p>

7

<p>73 A :-</p>

<p>English: I
Math: III
Reading: III
Science: I</p>

<p>I had to guess on about 5 on Math and 5 on Reading.</p>

8

<p>English II
Math I
Science II
Reading Literally impossible</p>

9

<p>English II
Math III
Reading III
Science II</p>

<p>That was the hardest version of the ACT I’ve ever taken (based on taking it April and practice tests). Wow.</p>

10

<p>Can someone tell me how “scaling” works? Do they just give the point to everyone if the majority of people got a question wrong? </p>

<p>Or do they scale based on how well everyone did overall on one particular subject?</p>

11

<p>English: II (some really hard questions)
Math: III
Reading: I
Science: I</p>

12

<p>English I
Math II
Reading III
Science I</p>

<p>All this is proportional to the difficulty experienced on practice tests (ie Princetons, Mc Graw Hill)</p>

13

<p>I was registered to take the October ACT, but decided my score might lower (34 in September). Good thing I didn’t risk it.</p>

14

<p>English- II
Math- III
Reading- II
Science- I</p>

15

<p>I prepared with Kaplan’s guide, PR Review, PR 1296 Questions, and both Math and Reading blew the wind out of me.</p>

16

<p>English I
Math II(pressed for time but questions weren’t too bad…)
Reading III
Science I</p>

17

<p>I think this is what OP intended:
Add on your rankings here.</p>

<p>English: lllllllllllllllllllllllll
Math: lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Reading: llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Science:lllllllllllllllllll</p>

18

<p>English: ll
Math: lll
Reading: ll
Science:ll</p>

<p>I thought it was easier than September’s ACT</p>

19

<p>In comparison to October’s ACT.</p>

<p>English: II
Math: III
Reading:III
Science:II</p>

<p>The reading sort of boggled my mind…I have a 730 on the SAT and consider myself quite proficient at it but I think I did badly on this test. Guessed a lot.</p>

20

<p>English: l (the only difficult parts for me personally were the vocab questions, pretty sure I got both wrong, finished in time)
Math: lll (guessed on ~5 due to time)
Reading: lll (guessed on ~5 due to time)
Science: ll (not bad at all but still not a walk in the park, finished in time)</p>
