June 2010 ACT Results

<p>also got mine via snail mail today. AL resident.</p>

<p>Composite: 33
English: 30
Math: 36 (also got one 17 subscore, so I agree that -1 = 36 for math)
Reading: 30 (I have a feeling this was a pretty unforgiving curve)
Science: 34</p>

<p>I know this is ‘eh’ by CC standards, but I met my freshman goal (actually, this was my ‘optimistic’ prediction) :)</p>

<p>nah i would be happy with a 33 after seeing my SAT score, congratulations.</p>

<p>I’m still waiting for mine. Honestly, I will be happy with anything 26+ because that’s what I need to qualify for honor society.</p>

<p>dynamo, mind telling us your subscores for reading? And congrats on the 33, it’s a great score.</p>

<p>^Sure. And thanks :D</p>

<p>Reading Total: 30
Social Studies/Sciences: 16 (93rd percentile)
Art/Literature: 16 (92nd percentile)</p>

<p>What are the subscores out of?</p>

<p>Wait can someone post the curves, all I can see is that Math is +1</p>

<p>@WangTongTong: we’re not really sure since the subscores don’t necessarily represent how many wrong or right questions.</p>

<p>Sorry, was out today. Nebraska!</p>

<p>Subscores are out of 18, but the two scores combined do not equal your score.</p>

<p>I’m looking at a +2 for reading. A 16 means that you got anywhere from 3-5 wrong. If we assume that you got 8 wrong in total and got a 30, then a +2 curve fits, no? </p>

<p>Opinions?</p>

<p>

Where did you find this information?</p>

<p>It’s an average I compiled from the 3 Red Book tests. There are subscore curves available for the tests.</p>

<p>Yes. Either that, or 1 wrong is and 2 wrong are both 35, or something similar for 34. </p>

<p>It’s tough to predict these.</p>

<p>Actually, its hard to predict anything from the subscores. I just checked my subscores from the last test and for some reason -1 yielded an 18 in one category but -3 yielded a 15 in the other category, and both of them combined got me a 32.</p>

<p>i hope there’s a nice curve on reading…><</p>

<p>@alihaq717</p>

<p>different curve on different section…I think that’s always true…</p>

<p>@New Account: Throwing Tandem’s subscores into the mix, 17 means anywhere from 1-3 wrong. If we assume he got 4 wrong in total, with a +2 curve (looking at the 2 instances we know of where +2 curve took place for Reading) he would most likely have gotten a 34. Instead, he got a 33 in Reading. However, if we assume he got 5 wrong, your theory would hold.</p>

<p>Yeah but regardless only one curve is applied to the whole test, so its hard to gauge anything because the curves for the sections are different from the actual curve. Thus, we can’t determine anything from the subscores.</p>

<p>@alihaq717</p>

<p>yeah…i agree</p>

<p>Duly noted. So, we know that it is very likely that there was a +1 curve, and a +2 curve is a possibility as well. Agreed?</p>

<p>@alihaq: Past curves are our best friend at this point.</p>

<p>^With the glance I’ve given this so far, yes I agree.</p>
