FEBRUARY 2015 ACT DISCUSSION THREAD

My son is taking it Saturday. I am hoping it doesn’t get snowed out, and I am hoping it is easy! I want him to be done with the testing so he can move on to other things. It isn’t fun having these tests on your mind all the time. Good luck everone!

I’m taking it Saturday. I’ve already taken it once, and I got a 30 (science 32, reading 32, math 28, english 28). I’m hoping to get my english and math scores up to a 32 or so, and my science and reading to a 34. I’ve done some Prep Me lessons and taken some short practice tests.

I’m an idiot and have only just begun actually studying for it. I have all of this week off from school so it’s my plan to do a few practice tests; I took my first one and got a composite score of 24. I made some really stupid mistakes so lets hope that my scores improve and I ultimately get a better score.

I’m probably not going to get it but I just want a 30 and I’ll be happy. I’m probably going to have to take it in June as well; but I’d be very happy to be done testing on my first try. :wink:

PS: Does anyone know when they will release the scores for this testing date? I’m not familiar with all of the ACT grading protocol - when do the usually release the scores?

The first batch come out on February 17th

I believe that I’m capable of getting a 36 in every subject but math

Oh man, I’m scared for the dual passages. Does anyone know if the December had it as well?

I hate that they’ve changed the test without changing the practice book…

Yes, Dec. did have the dual passage.

oh boy taking it Saturday too. Gotta prepare for the math and writing section the most honestly.

Math is easily my worst subject on the ACT, even though I’m in Calculus

Here is a practice dual passage @meaa7130.

Does anyone have any last minute tips?

Hey Everyone, tomorrow will be my second time taking the ACT. I just wanted to wish everyone good luck with their exam. See you all tomorrow on the thread!

@limmazom2‌ You probably know everything I’m going to tell you, but try not to spend more than 8.5 min on each passage. Just keep track of time, and don’t get distracted. Good luck!

Well, I’m done with my practice tests. Let’s hope that I am ready for this exam! Good luck everybody, see you all tomorrow afternoon in the thread!

Good luck everyone and remember that it is just a silly test!
