Harder with the months?

<p>Did anyone feel that the ACT is getting progressively harder each year? Is it supposed to be? I've been taking practice tests and scoring pretty well on them; I just don't want to get my hopes up if the questions are going to be harder the actual time I take it. Your thoughts? (especially the September one--I heard that one was the most difficult so far)
thanks!</p>

<p>I did better on the September one than I did on practice tests made by ACT. They're standardized tests though, so score distributions remain constant, so they can't really get "harder". If the questions are more difficult, scoring will be more lenient, and so on.</p>

<p>oh that's true. What was your opinion about the math part? more Trig than usual?</p>

<p>I didn't notice anything unusual, I thought it was actually easier than practice tests. Many other people complained about a lot of word problems, but I didn't notice.</p>
