December 2014 ACT Discussion Thread

<p>@EveningSwan Some proctors might, but it’s official ACT protocol that /nothing/ but your pencils and test are out on your desk. If your proctor does and another student reports them for it, it can mean a lot of trouble for them. Might get lucky, but the better option is to chug some medicine and hope you get some good sleep.</p>

<p>Hey guys I just took my test (I live in Japan so I’m a day ahead). I wouldn’t be too worried. Good luck!</p>

<p>Just finished taking the act. Probably the hardest I’ve ever taking. I don’t even think my composite is going to increase. But I’m done testing.</p>

<p>@Encord Where did you take it? How many have you taken prior?</p>

<p>Hey which form did u get??
I got 65B…</p>

<p>@2016collegebound‌ I’m international and this was my third and final time.</p>

<p>@Arjun25‌ I got 62C</p>

<p>@Encord thanks and good luck to you, I am hoping the test here in US is a different version if you felt yours was more difficult. My son is taking his first ACT right now.</p>

<p>Yeah I agree, I got 62C as well and was a little stumped too but overall, it wasn’t that bad. Hoping for the best.</p>

<p>My first time btw</p>

<p>72G here i think.
previously expected:english:31-33
math:31-34
reading:29-34(?!?!)
science:27-32
comp:29-33
expected after taking test:
English:32-34
Math:31-34
Reading:27-32
Science:25-29
comp:28-32</p>

<p>Any impressions about the difficulty of each test? I noticed science was ordered this time 5 5 5 6 6 6 7 unlike last test. Reading had the double thing for the humanities passage. Math and English seemed pretty normal to me.</p>

<p>Did anyone get 72G - I thought the math section was more difficult than usual. Otherwise, pretty standard.</p>

<p>I also had 72G. For me, I thought the reading was harder than usual. I ran out of time and had to guess on 6…</p>

<p>I had 72g. I thought the math was ridiculously hard. I guessed on like 8</p>

<p>Also the first reading passage on 72g was like wtf</p>

<p>me too. i didn’t even finish the math and science sections on 72G</p>

<p>I had 72G too. English was the hardest for me with math coming in a close second.</p>

<p>That was my first act but was the math really hard? I scored 35-36 on practice tests but there were questions I looked at and was like tf? Curve better be super lenient…like -4 is 36</p>

<p>Science portion was brutal</p>

<p><-- 72G. Math was definitely more difficult this time and science seemed way easier. I actually ran out of time on science and had to guess on about 4 questions because it seemed so easy that I wasted time over-thinking things and second-guessing myself.
