***ACT October 2013 Thread***

<p>If all of you had 73A, I don’t know why you thought reading and science were so hard. Reading was the easiest I’ve ever seen, and Science was pretty easy, too.</p>

<p>@Debater1996 what was hard for you (if anything)?</p>

<p>I thought Math was the hardest on the October section. </p>

<p>Couldn’t finish</p>

<p>Sucks because I had a 36 on Math the last two tests</p>

<p>Probably missed 7-8</p>

<p>Science was the easiest I have ever seen, and Reading was pure garbage. The first passage on the twins made 0 sense and after that, I lost full concentration.</p>

<p>I thought reading and science were ok too (not easy, but not harder than usual), and math and english were harder than normal.</p>

<p>@wasteofusername: same here, got a 36 on math in June, this is my 2nd time and math was wayy worse.</p>

<p>@agg999</p>

<p>I got one, probably two wrong on English (but that is probably it). I found Math to be fairly hard (I was pressed for time), but I felt confident in my answers.</p>

<p>Exactly the opposite for me: I though English and Math were the ones I did well on (including the essay, I guess)… I guess, what stumped me in science was the genetics passage (stupid me, I spent sooo much time on that passage instead of moving along). The reading passages were just weird this time (esspecially, the first one).</p>

<p>I didn’t necessarily think that English was hard, I just know that I got one wrong, and one probably wrong. It really was a stupid mistake, and I switched to the wrong answer from the right one at the last second. </p>

<p>As for math, the question with the shape on the graph I saved for last, but I’m confident that I got most all of it correct.</p>

<p>This is what I expect this time around</p>

<p>English: 34
Math: 32
Reading: 27
Science: 34</p>

<p>32 right there</p>

<p>What I got in September</p>

<p>34
36
32
33</p>

<p>If -10 in Reading can sneak by with a 29, I’ll be happy. If a -7 can sneak by with a 33 (missed like 5 on last year October test, but still got a 35 lol) in Math I will be happy. If a -3 in English can be a 35, I will be happy.</p>

<p>Good for you, then.</p>

<p>The vocabulary questions on the ACT killed me for Reading. Didn’t know what any of the words meant for the remittance question, nor could I decipher the difference between hurdle and hurtle.</p>

<p>@WasteOfUsername</p>

<p>Wait… why did u re-take it? 34 Composite is extremely good and will not kill your chances at MIT, Stanford even…</p>

<p>My mom wants me to get a 36 so she can brag in front of her friends man. I know, I know</p>

<p>But, TBH, on all the practice tests I did this time around, I never got below a 34 in 1 section. Don’t know what happened here.</p>

<p>Anyone have an idea what it takes, ideally, to get into Cornell Engineering?</p>

<p>It really depends on your extra curricular activities. I would say a 34 would put you ahead of a lot of applicants, but to make yourself really stand out would be to have a lot of ECs on there. (Along with a good essay, of course).</p>

<p>I know a friend who got a 28 on his ACT, but got into Brown due to his crazy good ECs (Class president, President of like 5 clubs, 2 Sports, Volunteering, etc.)</p>

<p>Do they come out at 12 EST or CST? I can never remember</p>

<p>They come out at 12 CST</p>

<p>What should I do, if I got a 31 on my first attempt… and say I get like a 29 composite this time around (except this time, I get like a 35 on English (as opposed to 28 on my first attempt) and 35 on Math (as opposed to 33 on my first attempt)… Should I send both test reports to competitive colleges (like Cornell)?</p>

<p>I read another person’s post that stated he’d gotten his scores at midnight eastern time for the last several times.</p>

<p>How many more times do you plan on taking it? Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, or Senior?</p>

<p>Why isnt the glitch working ive tried at least 5000 times now opqwrhnpqwenqwklenwqpewhjqpehjwqipehjwqeiopwqhjewipqrbhwuoqrbwo;qirhwrhnwio;qrhnwipqrjnwopqrjwpqrwqhjnrpwqtjnpeqjtopwqrwoqrhjn</p>
