***APRIL 2015 ACT DISCUSSION THREAD***

@blueberry16 hopefully :slight_smile:

Those of us who are still “registered”, we might as well give up hope. We probably won’t get our scores tonight

@outlooker Aww, stay optimistic! I have a couple friends who said that their status didn’t change until the very last second

yeah, that is how mine was in Feb

By the way, even if we don’t get our scores tonight, I’d assume there’s a chance we could get them tomorrow night :slight_smile: I mean it does say scores are usually processed every Wednesday, I’d assume this Wednesday would be no different. I mean really how hard is to process a bunch of scantron tests.

I took mine without writing and my status is “registered”.

still registered…

I wrote april 17 instead of april 18 on accident on test booklet and my proctor told me it was too late to change it but that it wouldnt matter. (I realized this after I turned in the test.) is this a problem?

@flmck33 Most likely not. I doubt they even look at that section of the booklet besides your name and id. There’s just too many people testing for them to scrutinize every booklet.

When I’m older I’m gonna start a company that makes it possible for tests to get scored immediately. This scantron stuff is ancient. I know this is already possible through online testing but that’s not the safest or most convenient sometimes. There should be a method in which the actual question booklet is in paper like it is now, but we put in the answers into a an electronic device of some sort. It would have buttons A B C and D for each option and students would have to press it. The devices are then turned in, scores extracted electronically, and then posted online. Tests would he scored within 23-36 hours using this method. This scantron stuff needs to just die already.

@outlooker or they could just require the test centers to have a scantron machine and they can grade them right there

I’m sure they don’t release all the multiple-choice scores on the same night due to possible server crashes/failures. Could you imagine if every examinee in the country checked their scores online at the same time?

@mithuun15 The ACT probably wouldn’t trust test centers enough for them to grade it themselves. But it’s a good idea

@mithuun15 My best guess as to why they don’t already do that is they want to make sure there’s no cheating involved. I think they want to be the ones to physically see the booklet and grade it. If you allow people to grade their tests at the test centers things could get fishy quick.

@apactstudent
Hey hey… I’m going to need you to tone it down a bit. This is no place for logic…

I’m on the west coast so Pacific Time. Does this mean I’ll get my score at 10 pm tonight? My status changed to tested btw.

@exceller123 I think 11PM for pacific.

@lantyr :)) :))

About to go play Call of Duty until 1 am. I technically have no school tomorrow, but my physics teacher is making is go in to do an entire free response section since he slacked off the whole year and has failed to administer one. I think it just hit him that the AP exam is in a little over a week…

4 hours and 19 minutes to go. Who wants an online stay-up-till-midnight group?

Can someone explain where exactly it’d say rgistered vs tested? Kinda lost here…
