Is ACT as Easy as the Practice Test Suggests?

Applying to College

<p>I just logged onto the ACT website and took the practice test for no real reason. I found the couple dozen questions they asked incredibly easy. I haven't even started my sophmore year and I didn't have difficulty with any of them… Does that make sense? Is the real test much more difficult? </p>

<p>Am I just brilliant and don't know it? ; )</p>

<p>I'm confused.</p>

<p>Well, if it's the official ACT website, I don't see how the questions could be inaccurate .. maybe you're brilliant! :D</p>

<p>I had the same thought when I looked at the practice questions...I had never considered taking it until the questions seemed incredibly easy. I prefer to think that we are geniuses. :-P</p>

<p>no the site ones are realllly easy trust me</p>

<p>Haha...that's good to know. I was wondering why more people didn't get 36's...</p>

<p>The site questions are pretty easy. The only thing that I found different was the timing and length. The practice questions on the website are only like 20 per section with no time limit. The real test has 3 times that amount within the time limit of a single hour. Combine that with real exam pressure and it gets a little bit more frantic (for me the science section was pure hell). But practice makes perfect; I only did a couple practices before I took the test =X. (34 comp)</p>

<p>It all depends on the test taker, I guess.</p>

<p>Or genius.</p>

<p>Looking into it more, I can see how time is a big factor. For the English portion, you get 45 minutes to answer 75 questions. That isn't much time... No matter how easy the questions are.</p>
