April 2012 Curve Predictions

<p>Everyone else thought science was so hard so I guess a good curve on that? Everything else should be pretty standard.</p>

<p>My D would both agree and hope you’re correct. ��</p>

<p>what do you guys think for the curve on math will be like? do you think it’d be possible to get a 35 with 2 wrong?</p>

<p>I hope so.
I was so nervous, I missed two questions that I knew how to solve.</p>

<p>I knew the pyramid was 30-60-90 and that treadmill was
Mill-Both+Bike+both but I ended up guessing on those.
Ugh.</p>

<p>I think I missed around 5.
It should’ve been 3, but oh well…</p>

<p>same here iris. I made two careless mistakes so idk hopefully i pull out a 30+</p>

<p>I know so far that I probably missed, for sure, one on the reading and one on the math. The rest… we’ll see. I made an even 33 on a practice test, so I’m hoping curves are generous. Judging by the complaints about the science, I think we can expect a big curve there. Personally, though, Science’s only challenge was interpreting the RIDICULOUS graphs in the second half.</p>

<p>@usnfilms It is likely that you would get a 35 with two wrong on math… I think the December 10th test date curve was like that. From what I have seen math is almost always 2+ wrong = -1 score</p>

<p>@romcombo thanks that is reassuring!</p>

<p>2 wrong is not always a 35. At least on practice tests the curve for math seems to be harsher. </p>

<p>That said, I do think it will be -2 is still a 35 for this test. The reading curve will be pretty harsh considering how easy it was. English seems like it should be just an average curve. There was nothing too difficult nor abstract to make it a better curve. Science I feel should be a generally good curve as in -1 may even be a 36.</p>

<p>Honestly, I think -2 science could be a 36. It was harder than anything in the red book, and some of those had a -2=36.</p>

<p>Also, can people clarify what they consider a standard curve? Because for example, in the red book there are english tests where -2=36 and there are english tests where -1=34.</p>

<p>-1=34 is tragic. </p>

<p>Predictions:</p>

<p>Math: Standard curve (e.g. -1=35, -2=34…)</p>

<p>Science: “Good” curve (e.g. -1=36 maybe -2=36)</p>

<p>English: Standard curve, maybe “bad curve” </p>

<p>Reading: “Bad curve” (e.g. If you missed one, you’re screwed beyond belief.)</p>

<p>Well, I’m unaware of any I missed on Reading. However, the highest I’ve ever gotten on it was a 32… It’s be pretty funny if I got a 36 on this, and nothing else, as this is the only one I never got a 36 on in a practice test.</p>

<p>Reading: “Bad curve” (e.g. If you missed one, you’re screwed beyond belief.)</p>

<p>How screwed? I missed one :frowning: maybe even two…would that be 34 or 33 :(?</p>

<p>Maybe, Toby1380. It just depends on the scale. I just feel like it was an easier section and will, therefore, have a harsher curve. </p>

<p>Maybe -2=35 and everything will be peachy? I can’t say. No one can say. I do predict that it’ll be pretty harsh though (the curve).</p>

<p>Maybe like 34?</p>

<p>April ACT is pretty harsh from what I’ve heard. I took it last year and the curve definitely wasnt generous. it was</p>

<p>0 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -7 -8 -9 -10 -11 -12 -13 -14 -15 -16 -17 -18 -19 -20 -21 -22 -23 -24 -25 -26 -27 -28 -29 -30</p>

<p>English: 36 35 34 33 32 31 30 29 29 28 27 27 26 26 25 25 24 24 23 23 23 22 22 21 21 21 21 20 20 2019</p>

<p>Math: 36 35 34 34 33 32 31 30 30 29 28 28 28 27 27 26 26 26 25 25 24 24 24 23 23 23 22 22 21 21 20 20</p>

<p>Reading: 36 34 33 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 23 22 22 21 20 20 19 18 18</p>

<p>Science: 36 34 32 31 30 28 27 27 26 25 25 24 24 23 23 22 22 21 21 20 20 19 19 18 17 17 16 15 14 13 12 11</p>

<p>And we (CC users) thought the science was pretty hard too although that obviously wasn’t the case as shown in the curve.</p>

<p>English = average (36, 35, 34, 34, 33)</p>

<p>Math = average/a little harder than average (36, 35/36, 34/35, 34)</p>

<p>Reading = easy with a few ambiguous questions (36, 35, 33, 32, 31)</p>

<p>Science = average/a little harder than average (36, 35, 34, 32, 31)</p>

<p>(-0,-1,-2,-3,-4, etc)
Eng: not lenient (36, 35, 34, 33, 32, etc)
Math: slightly lenient (36, 35, 35, 34, 33, etc)
Reading: not lenient (36, 35, 34, 33, 32, etc)
Science: not lenient (36, 35, 33, 32, 31, etc)</p>

<p>What do you guys think the science curve will be? I have a feeling it is going to be extremely generous like the Dec 2011 test. What do you think you need to get wrong for a 30??</p>

<p>How generous was the December test? The science killed me</p>
