June 2012 ACT Scores

Test Preparation ACT Preparation

<p>Thanks Jenny. I’ve looked through the 5 Red Book curves and a few online ones (past ACT free prep booklets), and I’ve come to a few conclusions.</p>

<p>Reading is favorable (+1/+2, doubtfully +3) and English is probably standard (straight drops) or slightly favorable (probably -1/-2 for 35 or -2/-3 for 34). I can’t tell with Math because straight 15s typically fall on 29 or 30, and Science is always random.</p>

<p>The 13/17 really helps with Reading because it means you couldn’t have missed 8 like the typical curve (between 9 and 11, inclusive). Either that or the scale was like -1 for 34 and straight drops, which I don’t want to think about (that tends to happen exclusively in April). English is between -4 and -6 for 32, but most likely -4/-5. I found Math results between -8 and -12 for 29, so I haven’t a clue on it (though I found it harder than April 2012 and June 2011, which both had -1 for 36).</p>

<p>@Bucky You can typically get scores a day or two early through post if you don’t do writing.</p>

<p>Again, these are estimations, and we’re really at the mercy of past testers.</p>

82

<p>So how about science?</p>

83

<p>Can we come up with a conclusion on the curves based on results?</p>

84

<p>lol, I’m getting really paranoid that my science section ends up being REALLY TERRIBLE.</p>

<p>After the test I was just too scared to look in the science thread for answers and now I forgot all of them. But it was bad.</p>

85

<p>Tested in NoVA.</p>

<p>Hoping for a 34!</p>

86

<p>im so scared i hope i get the scores i need to get into schools!</p>

87

<p>Okay, just posted this on ‘Official June 2012 ACT thread’, thought I’d post it here, too. </p>

<p>I’ve been googling this for ages now and can’t find an answer…
Does anyone know if the curve for international testers is different from the US curve?</p>

<p>I live in Japan because my dad is in the military & my American school on base (not considered international by ACT) wasn’t offering it again, so I took it at an international school (quite an experience btw, haha).
I’m worried that the curve will be less for math because international students are typically better at math & science, and those are the two subjects I NEED a better curve for…
Also, I can’t stand the fact I have to wait a week to two weeks longer than you guys…
Has anyone else taken the ACT at an international school & gotten their scores at the regular time?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

88

<p>Is ACT still from the ACT Company? The curve should all be the same, I dunno why they would change it cause they can’t pinpoint which students would be better even though they are in a different country.</p>

89

<p>From what I’ve heard, international students get different tests. I think they factor into the actual setting of curves, but I have no basis for that statement.</p>

90

<p>i took it in IL and i look on my ACT site page and it says Test Option: ACT PLUS WRITING
doesnt say tested after it. will i get it back tomorrow or will i have to wait until later?</p>

<p>NEVERMIND! I SAW IT SAYS TESTED! Hope for the best for everyone! My target is a 35-36, but I feel good because of the curve earlier posted, english and reading are generous, and thats where I need it.</p>

91

<p>I’m in Southern California and my still says “registered”. Other people from my test center have “registered” also. Will my scores be late?</p>

92

<p>Probably won’t receive them during the first batch.</p>

93

<p>Yeah, we definitely had a different test. I didn’t realize that we would until afterwards, so reading the discussion about questions on here worried me, cause I was like “um, I don’t remember ANY of this…” haha. </p>

<p>Thanks, I guess I’ll just have to wait until I get them.</p>

94

<p>I am freaking out about my score. 2 more hours</p>

95

<p>@woopycushion, same here I am in S. Ca. and still says “registered”. scores will be late.</p>

96

<p>^Same :confused: which i didn’t expect to do good anyways lol</p>

97

<p>I feel like I messed up a lot with time.</p>

98

<p>Not much time left…so nervous. What sucks is that I know I did bad and its going to be even worse seeing all the good scores on here…</p>

99

<p>Me too…been calculating various scores, and I can only give myself hope I did well on the seections.</p>

100
