<p>that the ACT reading section time limit was extended to 40 minutes, giving at LEAST 10 minutes per passage?</p>
<p>Yes, i felt rushed throughout the ACT reading and science. Mainly because they didnt give you the 1minute:1question ratio usually given by tests.</p>
<p>I agree
they should also apply it to science</p>
<p>i mean, give us at least 2 minutes to read the passages at least :[</p>
<p>ACT seriously has time issues. They need to give the students more time.</p>
<p>I liked doing one subject all at once, as opposed to dividing them up into several mini-sections ala SAT. But I thought that the timing for Science and Reading was ridiculous. I am a fast reader, and I had to rush/skim through Science just to get to the end in time.</p>
<p>You aren’t supposed to read it. They want you to skim.</p>
<p>Well maybe they should change the Reading Section to “Skimming Section”</p>
<p>I do wish.</p>
<p>yea, time was definitely an issue
=(</p>
<p>I used to like the ACT A LOT MORE than the SAT but these time issues the last 3 times I’ve taken it are starting to make me like the SAT more</p>
<p>I finsihed a minute or two early on the reading, but i thought the science was absolutely killer. there was like 2 and half minutes left, and I had ten questions (i managed to beast out 6, filled in the other 4)</p>
<p>I definitely agree with science. I’ve always had to completely guess on the very last article due to running out of time. 5 more minutes would help tremendously.
Reading I seem to get slower every time for some reason…my first time taking the ACT, I finished it with time left over and got my best score ever on it. Now, I seem to only have about 3 minutes to read and do the questions for the last passage and I end up having to guess. Reading I could understand leaving the same, but science definitely needs more time.</p>
<p>I agree with the reading section, I put random answers at the end for the Eel passage. I never actually even read the entire passage, I just read the question and looked quickly through the passage to find the answer. If they gave us another 5 minutes, it would really help, same with science too. English and math are fine, I finished both with time to spare, but the ACT might want to rethink the allotted times given to Reading and Science.</p>
<p>Yeah its bs , that the reading section has 35 mins. ACT should really fixed it up and reform it. </p>
<p>English: 60 mins for it
Math: 65-70 min
Reading: 45 mins
Science 45 mins.</p>
<p>^ That would make it way to easy for people to get 30’s and above. The ACT is designed so that if you get a 30+ you earned that 30 and you deserve to be at a school of the upper echelon.</p>
<p>English and Math time limits are fine.
However, I do believe Science and Reading should be extended by five minutes.</p>
<p>I agree wismadison2010, I’ve read and heard many people say that they could easily get a 30+ on the ACT if they had like 10 minutes more on each section. The ACT really isn’t that hard, it’s just the time limit that makes it a little difficult. I do hope the ACT does consider extending Science and Reading by another five minutes.</p>
<p>i agree with redsox2002, i know i could solve those math problems if i had more time
i don’t think its cool that the test has to be timed, i could have had a better score my first time, timing makes me nervous and i don’t know what i’am doing. I think they should had 15 mins to each test, especially the math and science test</p>
<p>i mean, i understand why the tests are timed, but the reading section, or the “skimming section,” is just… gah.</p>
