<p>Ok, so to study for the ACT it’s mainly concepts right? For example, when you are studying for the math section you would want to know formulas, steps to equations and graphing. Or for the English section you would want to know pronouns, verbs, Subject- Verb agreement, and stuff in the manner right?</p>
<p>@master1006 @1golfer1 Cool! Thanks for the clarification/explanation! </p>
<p>@JunHur there is a scale to see what you can get if you know how many you got correct. </p>

<p>@XxEggRollKingxX The scales are modified each test; don’t use that one as a guide.
I do find it hard to believe that a 55% on the science section is an “average” score, considering that educated guessing alone can get you about 15 questions right.</p>
<p>I feel like the reading and science sections were much easier this test compared to the one before it. I only studied one day.</p>
<p>Heyyyyy 1golfer1 from the PSAT thread lol</p>
<p>@Danwgun I got 4 questions out of 12 on the animal behavior passage, only 1 other wrong on CR. **** CB.
63, 76, 80 = 219, which would be good enough anywhere but CA. **** NMSC too.
ACT is kind of better. </p>
<p>@FriendlyChemist Sorry for editing this post, xD. I’m going to stop discussing because of the warning. </p>
<p>@JustEmily it was a toss up between that and dominant plant species but climate is the right answer</p>
<p>@1golfer1 I feel the same too about the reading section. It’s typically my WEAKEST area because I never absorb in any information after reading and always run out of time, but I felt extremely confident about my answers and finished them all with 1-2 minutes to spare. I think it’s because this time around they were far more direct and you just had to play a little game of “I-Spy.” </p>
<p>@JustEmily On the ACT, you have to infer maybe 5 of the 40 questions, and they’re all pretty clear. On the SAT, they’re basically all inference, and you kind of just have to hope on some of them.
If you see even one passage differently then CB does, you’re CR is killed right away. </p>
<p>@1golfer1 we got the same score lol, i live in a dumb state though 210 cutoff. 61(-10)R, 80(-0)M, 78(-1)W
and I think that will qualify, isn’t CA usually about 215-218?</p>
<p>When did you guys get your PSAT scores? I still haven’t gotten mine</p>
<p>@Danwgun No, it’s a wonderful 224.
@limmazom2 There was some glitch you could exploit. </p>
<p>Ah, the PSAT. My proctors last year were idiots. No five minute warning, not allowed to eat snacks, plus it was way too easy for someone to cheat with the way they had seating. Oh well. Lol</p>
<p>I wish I had actually studied for PSAT. I went in after FORGETTING like an idiot that it was on that day and got near a 200 :(</p>
<p>lol psat. i did awful. got like a 189?</p>
<p>Lol… I got 185. Thanks to running out of time. Ah, oh well. The past is in the past. Gotta let it go. Now to wait for the ACT scores lol. So, the reading curve, what do you guys think it will be?</p>
<p>It’s probably not going to be generous at all; it’s probably going to be between moderate-harsh. </p>
<p>I’d agree with that. I breezed through it. One or two difficult questions, and usually passage reading is generally easy for me so it appears to be a -2 = 34? </p>
<p>Lol thats harsh on my last ACT a minus 4 was a 34 and reading was kinda like this one</p>
