***April State Mandated Test 2016 Discussion***

Taking the one on April 19. Anyone else out there taking it too? We just signed up for it today.

Is the fifth section graded?

Yea I was wondering what the fifth section was for too?

Do you mean writing? We all have to take the writing too but it is graded separately.

I’ll be taking. I just took it today too. Scores from today come out the 19th - it would probably be wise not to check until after this test, right?

Yea because in case you do bad, your mind will be on the bad scores. I heard state testing is slightly easier and the curve is nicer since they want schools to continue buying packages from them. I got a 27 the first time I took It and I’m looking to get into the 30’s this time. Last practice test I got like a 32 so I’m feeling hopeful.

Mine is in a week and I’m kinda excited? When are your guys’?

I take mines on the nineteenth too…anyone know how to study for a test that you don’t know the questions to?

Try and study some grammar points with commas and such. For math try and review the basics. And practice speed reading for the reading and science section

When I log on to my ACT student account, there’s a tab that says “Pre-test for state and district.” When I click on it, it asks for a code. I can see grayed out options such as “score report options.” Have you any of you done this yet? I REALLY hope my state implements this so my test is already linked to my account and so I can choose how I get my score report.

I just went and saw what you were talking about. Yea I haven’t gotten my “code” either but I would rather see my scores online than through the school. Hopefully I can get my claim code soon

Are you guys ready! Two days and we take it. Get hyped!

I’m more nervous for this test than any other one I’ve taken. It doesn’t help that my score from last Saturday is being released tonight too lol.

@jwn Don’t look at it tonight! Wait till after tomorrow’s test…

Good luck everybody! I’m going to need it in about an hour haha

Rip me on that science section. What did you guys think?

Same. I thought it was unfair how you need a bunch of general knowledge to answer several of the science questions.

Yea fr. My gf said the exact same thing. I missed the one with Saturn too. I didn’t really think about it

it was so odd how compared to the national tests you needed general science knowledge for this one. also the math seemed different to me

Yeah science had a lot of actual knowledge… stupid red/white cells lol.

Also math felt harder than usual… granted, I’ve only taken two tests now but it felt difficult. Reading was a breeze though! How did everyone else feel today? Also, do we get our scores online in two weeks like a national test or do we have to wait like five weeks and get it mailed from the school?
