June 10th ACT - Score/Curve Predictions Thread

<p>Post your predicted scores and then your actual scores that you will get in 10 days. </p>

<p>Feel free to discuss the curve. </p>

<p>***Please keep any question about the test in the other fourms.</p>

<p>30-32 English
24-25 Math
28-30 Reading
21-23 Science (I hate Science)</p>

<p><3</p>

<p>english 30-33
math 34-35
reading 28-32
science 23-29 (if I had 5 more minutes...)</p>

<p>I think I either maintained or raised my scores from last time:
32 (I may have upped this to a 34) English
25 (definately raised this. I'm guessing 28-ish) Math
35 (Heh, it may've gone up or down a point--that's one precious point)Reading
30(No idea. Probably the same) Science</p>

<p>Last time I got a 29 (31E, 29M, 22R, 32S).</p>

<p>I think overall I'm going to go up 1-2 pts to either a 30 or 31. These are my predictions:</p>

<p>32 or 31E: I thought the English was easy for me again like it was in April.
32 or 29M: I thought the Math was easier this time than in April so I think my score will go up, but at the very least stay the same.
27R: I definately did better than last time. I didn't have enough time to finish on the April test. The same thing happened to me on the June test, but I got a lot farther this time.
32S: I really have no clue on this one, I'm guessing that I'll stay the same, but I'm not that sure. I was kind of mad that I didn't finish the reading again, so I was going pretty fast through the science. I didn't think it was that hard though. I was able to attempt every question.</p>

<p>Can someone explain the curve?</p>

<p>English: 32 or 31
Math: 33
Reading: 28-29
Science: 31-33
Composite: 31-32</p>

<p>What are you guys basing your scores on? Can you post the curve you guys predict?</p>

<p>Everyone i talked to so far did really good.. so does that mean the curve is going to be steeeep?</p>

<p>Damn! (10char)</p>

<p>is it easier the second time you take it? do most ppl go up in scores?</p>

<p>It was easier for me because I knew what to expect. I kind of knew the times limits better meaning I knew how to better pace myself.</p>

<p>I based my score on the chart in the Princeton Review. I don't want to type out the whole chart, but if you tell me how many you think you got wrong on each section, I can predict your score.</p>

<p>Hey, what would my science score be if I got 6-7 wrong?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>It would be about 28. No problem.</p>

<p>I am hoping for at least a 28 composite score.</p>

<p>I am worried about that 1st reading passage.....</p>

<p>Ohhhhhhh man :'(..</p>

<p>Need to pace myself better next time.... I was slower on the real test compared to my practice tests :(</p>

<p>10th grade: (No Prep, No Calculator)</p>

<p>English: 32
Math: 29
Reading: 27
Science: 24
Composite: 28</p>

<p>This time (11th grade, no prep, but a calc this time)
Predictions:</p>

<p>English: 35-36
Math: 35-36
Reading: 26-28
Science 23-25
Composite: 30-31, 32 if I'm lucky.</p>

<p>*I realize how steep the curve is for 34+, but based on the two practice sections of math and english I did the night before the test, I missed none and finished ahead of time, and also finished ahead of time in the actual test. I think it's all the SAT prep I did. Reading and Science are fundamentally different for me in the ACT than anything in the SAT, so I didn't do as well.</p>

<p>33-35 English (35 last time)
33-36 Math (36 last time)
30-33 Reading (28 last time - Grr)
30-31 Science (30 last time)</p>

<p>I basically retested just to see if I could up reading score...if I didn't, I'll just send the last test.</p>

<p>Do they assign percentiles to the individual subsections? If so, what do you need to get a 90% on the science section?</p>

<p>That's exactly what happened to me on the reading section. I was able to finish when I practiced at home, but on the test day....:(:( I didn't even get a chance to read the last section.</p>

<p>Yes. Getting a 26 on the science will put you in the 90 percentile.</p>
