<p>I have heard from various people that certain ACT test dates are far easier than others. For example, in April the test wasnt too bad but then in June it was terribley hard I thought. While I know it depends on personal strengths and weaknesses does anyone know of the September and/or October test dates are usually harder or easier?</p>

<p>Here, the ACT site says that there is no difference between test dates.
I think they use the same grading policy that AP tests have - “equating”. It ensures that while different tests have different questions, the score indicates the same thing on all tests.
So while one may be harder than another, the score will reflect that. Like, on one test 3 wrong on math may be a 35, but on another test, 3 wrong may be a 33 or 34.</p>
<p>However, I felt like the April test was WAY easier than the June test, but I got 2 composite score points higher on the June test (32 to 34 respectively). So it’s hard to say for sure…</p>
