CURVE PREDICTIONS AND DISCUSSION FOR FEB. 8 2014 ACT

<p>What do all you you think the curve will look like? I think the English/Reading will have a standard curve and the Math/Science will be generous (more so science than math).
Science: 36,36,35,35,34,33,32,32...
Math: 36,35,35,34,33,32...</p>

<p>I honestly think the curve for Science might be even more generous than that.</p>

3

<p>Yeah, it was definitely incredibly hard. I usually never run out of time and I did on that test with around 3 questions left. Especially the last passage…</p>

4

<p>Made the mistake of skipping the students passage as I thought I was running out of time and the student one is usually what troubles me the most. Ultimately couldn’t figure out half the questions in the last, meanwhile I went back to the student one and answered a good three of them without trouble in the last 2-3 minutes. Think I missed a good 7-8 between the two. Hoping for a huge curve.</p>

5

<p>I hope the science curve is generous. I never, NEVER, have had much trouble with the science, but today I feel that I did terrible. I had form 72A. The salt water problems and the section about the LED lights just made me want to pull my hair out. Pretty sure I’m going to get like a 27 or worse on the science.</p>

<p>I’d say the math curve won’t be too generous. I only had 2-3 problems that threw me for a loop.</p>

6

<p>Yes, I agree, the science was unusually hard and i struggled to finish at the end. I made the same mistake of doing the LED light one first instead of the student one, such a struggle. maybe 36 35 35 34 33 33 32 31?</p>

7

<p>Surprisingly I found the science to be about the same if not easier than the practice tests in the red book. Math, on the hand, I thought was harder. I know I missed at least 2 or so. On the other hand I’ve only taken a few practice. Reading and English the usual. </p>

8

<p>I hope there is a curve for math. I really need it I think.</p>

9

<p>I thought math was tough for most people, but I only had two I wasn’t sure about.</p>

11

<p>i think math will be -1 36</p>

12

<p>The test was the exact same as the October 2012 test, so the curve should be the same. Can someone find out what the curve for that test was?</p>

13

<p>We can’t find out because ACT will not release any information about tests they will recycle. But we can infer through some statistics ;)</p>

14

<p>well apparently you can get a 35 and a 34 and a 32 on the Science portion which is good news. </p>

<p>also can get a 35, 34, 33, 32 in reading</p>

<p>math you can get a 35 34 33 32 </p>

<p>looks like -2 = 36 in math :)</p>

15

<p>How do you know?</p>

16

<p>@yoyo27 very similar test as october 27th so probably same curver</p>

18

<p>October 12 used both the 72A and the 68E versions of February’s test? I can’t believe they would recycle so close in time. I’m disappointed actually.</p>

19

<p>yes where did you find the october one</p>
