<p>Do colleges look at individual section percentiles in your opinion? If so, does 90% look good?</p>
<p>My predictions:</p>
<p>30-35 English
31-36 Math (If I don't get at least a 30 I'll ask for a re-score)
30-34 Reading
28-36 Science (Depends on a lot of things)
30-35 Composite</p>
<p>I'm crossing my fingers for a 31 or a 32 at least, and hoping for a 33 or 34.</p>

<p>Honestly, I don't know for sure. I'm only in high school, but I think they do and any score in the 90s is excellent.</p>
<p>1st time:
REading: 33
English: 33
Math: 31
Science: 31
COMPOSITE: 32</p>
<p>2nd Time:
REading: 36
English:35
MAth: 31
Science: 30
COMPOSITE: 33</p>
<p>HOPEFULLY THIS TIME:
REading: 35
English: 35
Math: 32
Science: 32
Composite: 34</p>
<p>Very impressive.</p>
<p>Not really.</p>
<p>How's a 34 not impressive (we're talking in the real world by acceptable standards)?</p>
<p>Sophie C, how did you feel about the reading, like how many do you think you got wrong?</p>
<p>Last time i got a 35 in reading and i missed only one. But if the curve is easier then even missing like 3 will get me a 34 which is what i think i got </p>
<p>any way,</p>
<p>math - 33-35
english 33-34
science - (I can never predict this one) 33
reading - hopefully 34 but a 33 is good</p>
<p>The curve predictions:</p>
<p>math was alright so I think if you get max 5-6 wrong you will still get a 30
reading i think the curve will be like 6-7 worng for 30
science was easier so i would say the curve is hard like 3-4 wrong and you get a 30 (hopefully no this harsh!)</p>
<p>btw, 34 is AMAZIN, if i got that then i would be ecstatic!</p>
<p>English: 31-33
Math: 31-32
Reading: 27-30
Science: 28-30
Composite: 29-31</p>
<p>34 is in the 99%tile. It is good by any standard.</p>
<p>i know!! so hopefully ill manage it... if not oh well... thats what i like about the ACT... u can take it as many times as you want, so if i bomb it this time... ill just use my 33 score!</p>
<p>What did you guys think about the science on this one? Easier than the Apri 8th science section, or about the same?</p>
<p>i thought science was easier than ocotober and january</p>
<p>I want 34 or higher as a composite -_-, but I don't think I made it.</p>
<p>i thought science was much easier on this one.... i actually finished with time to spare....</p>
<p>reading was harder on this one.... but i did better due to practicing prior to the test and learning how to pace and work at a quick pace....</p>
<p>math and english were easier</p>
<p>i believe that the june test is in fact the easiest test, at least for this year</p>
<p>I'm kinda mad.... I retook a 34 to get a 35/36, but now I'm kind of feeling dumb that I did it. I made so many simple errors!</p>
<p>Before:
English: 35
Math: 36
Critical Reading: 36
Science: 30
Composite: 34</p>
<p>Now my predicted scores:
English: 32-33 (3-4 errors for sure)
Math: 35-36 (I think 0 wrong, but I bet I made a mistake somewhere)
Critical Reading: 35-36 (same scenario as math)
Science: 31-32 (two wrong for sure, probably 3-4 wrong total)
Composite: 33-34. </p>
<p>Wow, I did the dumbest thing ever in retaking a 34. It would look so stupid to get a 33 after.</p>
<p>Also, how bad do you think the Science curve will be?</p>
<p>Will it be generous, like </p>
<p>36, 40
35,39-38
34, 37
33, 36
31, 35 </p>
<p>or brutal, like:</p>
<p>36, 40
34, 39
32, 38
31, 37
29, 36</p>
<p>Any ideas? Any help with the english curve, as well?</p>
<p>For Science, the conversion would typically be within this range:
Correct answers/Scale score
40/36
39/34-36
38/33-35
37/32-34
36/30-32</p>
<p>Anything outside of that would be unusual. pk, your "generous" conversion is realistic, but I don't think your "brutal" one is.</p>
