If you get a 34 or above you can’t get your money back. I’m not sure, the course may be well worth it…I know the founder is very knowledgeable. Just saying if you get a 34 don’t plan on getting a refund 
@StudiousRob Thanks! Yeah, I just read the fine print about the four point increase…Hm…well maybe if I somehow run across $400 in the near future I’ll sign up.
honestly, the science curve was so rough lol
Does anyone know what -1 was for each of the four sections? I got a 36 in English and missed zero, but I got a 34 in reading and science and I’m wondering if I missed only 1 in each section. Also, I was surprised by a 33 in math. Was the curve really harsh?
I believe you missed 2 in reading and 1 in science @destined4harvard
@mkumar17 How did u figure that out? How many wrong in math for a 33 on this test?
just look up ACT scale score chart on google images @suzyq7
But the tests are not all scaled the same. Do we ever find out how many wrong we got on this? First test, and online info just shows scores and subscores, not number wrong. Unless I’m not looking in the right place
Daughter scored:
C: 34
E: 36
M: 31
R: 34
S: 33
For math, she didn’t finish 5 questions. Of the math questions she answered, she was positive they were all correct except for 1.
So guessing a -6 on math = 31
For English, she got a 36, but for subscores Usage/Mechanics was 18 and Rhetorical Skills was a 17.
So guessing -0 and -1 for English = 36
My daughter got English 35, with Usage/Mechanics 18 and Rhetorical Skills 17 - same as your daughter, so can’t be a -1. something else’s going on.
In fact, I am confused. How can you get a 35 in Reading if both Social Studies/Sciences and Arts/Literature are 18?
@OHToCollege, Since my daughter didn’t get a Rhetorical Skills of 18, and got a 17, I’m assuming she missed at least 1 question - but still got a 36. So conclusion: For English, -0 and -1 = 36.
If your daughter got a 35, I would guess she missed more than 0/1. Maybe -2 is 35?
As for your comment: “In fact, I am confused. How can you get a 35 in Reading if both Social Studies/Sciences and Arts/Literature are 18?” Conclusion: 18 & 18 don’t signify a perfect score on Reading. On the other hand, I think we can assume an 18/17 means NOT a perfect score in a section.
Clear as mud?
Yeah - clear as mud! Does ACT ever release how many and which questions you got wrong? Kind of like how SAT/PSAT does…
From ACT (unfortunately, February doesn’t count):
"Through Test Information Release (TIR), you receive a copy of the multiple-choice test questions, a list of your answers, and the answer key. If you took the writing test, you also receive a copy of the writing prompt, scoring guidelines, and scores assigned to your essay. You also receive information about ordering (for an additional fee) a photocopy of your answer document (including your essay, if you took writing).
This service is only available on three national test dates per year—December, April, and June, and only if you test at a national test center. If for any reason ACT has to replace the test form scheduled for use at your test center, this offer becomes void, and ACT will refund your fee for this service.
If you order TIR when you register, materials are mailed about 4 weeks after scores are reported. You can also order TIR for three months after you test.
For fee information, dates we offer this service, and a printable PDF order form, see Requesting a Copy of Your Test Questions and Answers."
What this means: The February test will be reused in the future, so they don’t release it. The December, April and June tests are being retired, so they can be released.
For those that took the ACT before, how long after your composite score was your essay score released?
Also, is anyone else stressing about the essay scores after reading other threads? >_<
@SugarSmarts Hello! I actually used Prep Scholar. Basically, they have 50 total skills that you need to “master.” It’s really good for fine tuning because the questions are extremely difficult. On the regular ACT, I have always consistently scored 34-36 in Math since my sophomore year, but Prep Scholar’s math is much harder. I normally can only get 80% of the drills correct. So it’s pretty much impossible to master every skill even if you are good at the ACT. But in order to be considered done with the course, you have to master all of them.
Overall, it has been incredibly helpful in my weaknesses. It did wonders for my science score because it times every question and it makes the actual test a piece of take in comparison.
However, it might not be your style and I doubt anyone has ever been eligible for the money back guarantee.
Interesting. Never knew their questions were harder-- don’t know if that’s a good thing or bad thing.
If you don’t mind me asking what did you wind up getting and did your score improve much from prep scholar?
For ACT reading, -1 seemed to be 35 since I got a 35 and 18s for both AL and SS.
