Curve Predictions for October 2013 ACT

<p>What do you guys think are the curves for each subject?</p>

<p>English: 36- 75
Math: 36- 59-60
Reading: 36- 39-40
Science: 36- 40</p>

<p>english 36-74
math 36-58
Reading 36-38
Science 36-39</p>

<p>English 36- 74
Math 36- 58
Reading 36- 39
Science 36- 40</p>

<p>Out of about 15 practice tests, I have never seen an English portion allow a test taker to miss a question and still get a 36. I doubt this time will be different. I hope it is, though!</p>

<p>The math curve may actually allow us to miss 2 and still get a 36. Many people found it very difficult, but I still thought June was much harder. </p>

<p>Reading will probably be 1 wrong, maybe 2 (if we’re lucky), for a 36 due to the strange fiction passage and the comparison passages. </p>

<p>Science might allow us to miss one and get a 36. I thought it was really simple and had time left over, but many found it difficult. It definitely won’t be an extremely harsh curve as I’ve seen on other practice tests. </p>

<p>Thoughts on this?</p>

<p>Can someone explain how the curve works and what the numbers here signify?</p>

<p>“The curve” refers to the number of questions that must be answered correctly on a given test date in each section to obtain a given score. This is determined by ACT based on the difficulty of the test.</p>

<p>I thought math was a lott harder than June (got a 36 in June) but hey, that’s just me! Same w/ English, but I felt the same as you about science… Hopefully the curves are good for everything!</p>

<p>Well then math will probably be 58 for a 36 and 56 for a 35. That would be nice! And I thought English was harder but I don’t think a 74 will be a 36. 35 on English will probably be a 72, though.</p>

<p>How come mines still says “registered” and not “tested”? and it is 3 more days until results… what does it say for you guys?</p>

<p>Still registered.</p>

<p>E 75
M 58-60
R 39-40
S 39-40</p>

<p>I think this will be the curve for getting a 36 on each section</p>

<p>English: 36 = 75
Math: 36 = 59-60
Reading: 36 = 39-40
Science: 36 = 39-40</p>

<p>That said, will we ever really know? Because this test and our answers aren’t released, will we ever know how many we actually missed? Or how it is scored??</p>

<p>Shoot… I am soo scared that i failed in reading and science… hoping for a 10-12 on essay, 33-36 on Englisg and 35-36 on Math…Only if i had done better in reading and science… :(</p>
