***APRIL 2015 ACT DISCUSSION THREAD***

Here’s the official word of the ACT. The first batch of scores came out today. The next batch will come out on Friday around 8 am. Then next Wednesday at the same time. Scores will continue to successively roll out until all scores are out. Good luck :slight_smile:

Is there an official curve out or anything?

@HarvardPliss Are you trying hard to impress us? How did you get a 35 in Reading? -1 was a 34. Did you get 1/2 a question wrong?

is there any hack that works anymore to check scores early? I’m dying over here lol.

@CBeal23
-1 was not a 34

@lantyr I missed one and got a 34. Unless I’m missing something??

how do you know you missed one?

@CBeal23
It’s possible to get a 17 and 18 subscore for reading even when missing two questions. I think post 994 says he got a 35 in reading

First time taking it and I didn’t study at all! I just wanted to see where I was at. Should I take it again or no?

I did get a 17/18 subscore and got a 34 in reading.

From the ACT website (see #4 regarding subscores):

How ACT figures the multiple-choice test scores and the Composite score:

1.First we count the number of questions on each test that you answered correctly. We do not deduct any points for incorrect answers. (There is no penalty for guessing.)

2.Then we convert your raw scores (number of correct answers on each test) to “scale scores.” Scale scores have the same meaning for all the different forms of the ACT, no matter which test date a test was taken.

3.Your Composite score and each test score (English, Mathematics, Reading, Science) range from 1 (low) to 36 (high). The Composite Score is the average of your four test scores, rounded to the nearest whole number. Fractions less than one-half are rounded down; fractions one-half or more are rounded up.

4.We compute your seven subscores (Usage/Mechanics, Rhetorical Skills, etc.) in the same way, but subscores range from 1 (low) to 18 (high). There is no direct, arithmetic relationship between your subscores and your test scores—this means your subscores don’t add up to your test score.

What does everyone think of the new science section? Do you like the old seven passages or the new six passages? I like the new one better because less passages make it easier to finish on time.

new version

@CBeal23
Exactly, it’s possible you got 2 wrong.

@outlooker i like it. I thought it was very easy. Got a 36 with 5 minutes to spare

Do the second batch of scores come out next week??

is there any hope of midnight release tonight?

can colleges see your subscores, or is that just for you to see?

@rangerstown No the next release is this Friday.
