April ACT Cure

<p>So, the April ACT is fast approaching, and I wanted to know what the curve will be like on this test?</p>

<p>Some people have informed that, academically under qualified kids test during this month, and ACT test makers know that and they give higher curves and easier tests. Is it true?</p>

<p>Also, I am taking the Princeton Reviews' classroom course (wanted private tutoring but too expensive) in prep for the ACT test which I hope will help me attain a 34 plus.</p>

<p>Sorry I mean curve, not cure. LMAO :)</p>

<p>Not true at all. What test date you test on won’t have much effect on your score.</p>

<p>Last April’s curve was rather harsh, if I remember correctly.</p>

<p>I took it last April. I got a 36 and all I know about the curve is I missed one in math and still got a 36. Haha so I can’t really help you. I thought it was easy though.</p>

<p>^ You are mistaken. I have the actual Score Conversion Table from the April 2010 ACT test and one question wrong in Math would have yielded you a 35. Did you take the test on the April national date or on a state-specific testing date? By the way, for people who were wondering, the curves for the April date from last year are pretty average: neither generous, nor excessively harsh.</p>

<p>It was the Illinois State date. But I did, without a doubt, miss one math and get a 36.</p>

<p>^ Oh, then I apologize. I was referring to the curve of last April’s national ACT date; I didn’t know you took the ACT as part of the PSAE.</p>

<p>Yeah, I took it in IL as part of the PSAE. I didn’t realize that it was a different test from the national one.</p>

<p>^ Yeah, it’s different from the national one. Otherwise, students in Illinois could take the ACT on the national date early in April and then take the same test again later that month.</p>

<p>The curve does not change enough to make a major difference in your score between test dates. The results don’t vary all that much.</p>

<p>There’s a cure for the ACT?</p>
