December 2009 ACT CURVES

Test Preparation ACT Preparation

<p>This test was AN EXACT COPY of the October 2008 test. Go search it if you want proof. All the questions that were discussed were exactly the same. Exactly!</p>

<p>Therefore, the curve will be the same. From the October 2008 scores thread, </p>

<p><a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/act-preparation/596790-october-2008-score-thread-4.html?highlight=October+2008%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/act-preparation/596790-october-2008-score-thread-4.html?highlight=October+2008&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>You can basically predict the curve of the test</p>

<p>This will most likely be the science curve. I know this because all of these were actual scores that people were given. In fact, this will be the worst possible scenario (since it is possible - though unlikely - that missing 2 or 3 questions for example, could have yielded a 34. </p>

<p>Science
36: 40
35: 39
34: 38
33:37
32: 36
31: 35
30: 34</p>

<p>For reading, I know that -1 will being u down to a 34 :(</p>

<p>Reading:
36: 40
35: ---
34: 39</p>

<p>Omg. Its the exact same all the way through…
Looks like I got 1 wrong on English: 35?
And 0 wrong on Math: 36?
And 2 wrong on Reading: 34?</p>

<p>And I’m not going to bother looking at science… I’ll pray for a 29.</p>

8

<p>i see that many of the sections have similar passages. but it doesnt appear to be an exact copy. does anyone have the scale for each section though?</p>

9

<p>Haha yes I have uncovered the truth! But still though, we don’t know if it is a carbon copy, just most of it is the same. I can’t find my official score report from Oct. 08, but I am looking at the online one right now. Is there any important information I should share?</p>

10

<p>yeah, whats the link to the online one?</p>

11

<p>Well, it’s my personal score report, so…</p>

12

<p>oh, but they dont give a scale?</p>

13

<p>I saw this post in the October 2008 ACT Scores thread:</p>

<p>

</p>

14

<p>2008 not 2009 lol</p>

15

<p>if its true that this has same curve as oct 2008, does anyone have complete scales for each section of oct 2008</p>

16

<p>^^I meant to say 2008. By instinct I typed 2009. Oops.</p>

17

<p>It is a carbon copy. Trust me. </p>

<p>And since the October 08 test was never released, no one has the official chart of the curves. However, u can infer what the curves will be based on peoples’ scores.</p>

18

<p>so does this mean the upcoming February test could be a recycled test? nice find btw mabs</p>

19

<p>Yes it could though I doubt they would use two recycled tests in a row.</p>

20

<p>Mabs, -1 reading will not be a 34 because someone’s score posted was a 35 in reading.</p>

<p>" I am so relieved!</p>

<p>English- 34 (+5)
Math- 32 (+2)
Reading- 35 (+6)
Science- 33 (+2)</p>

<p>C- 34 (+4) "</p>

<p>You can only get a 35 if you miss -1 or more…</p>
