<p>Science and math curves will be much more forgiving than that. I guarantee it. As someone else stated, the fact that so many juniors were taking for the first time will likely help. On June science -4 was a 34 and -7 a 30 I think (not completely sure). I feel this one was harder and that a 30 could easily be -8 to -10 still. -5 will probably be 33-35, not a 29 like you indicated.</p>
<p>Is the ACT curve determined before we take the test or after?</p>
<p>man i science needs to be generous, and im glad tons of juniors took the test for the first time :). Hopefully significant number who had no clue what they were doing. Idk i think -6, -7 would be a 33 in science. -4 a 33-34 in math.</p>
<p>I seriously doubt it's that generous. Yeah, a lot of people on here (including me) thought it was extra hard, but I find it hard to believe getting a quarter of the questions wrong will get you a 30.</p>
<p>A quarter wrong on Reading is 29 (without a curve) and both Science and Reading are out of 40.</p>
