<p>@Amplified: Same here about the crying. This test - even in my strengths like English and Math - was unfair. After I got destroyed on the reading (guessed on like 11), I literally wanted to cry and rip my test in half. There was no point in taking the science at that point. I need a miracle curve right now. </p>

<p>Did anyone else take April ACT? How would you compare the reading sections? I thought June was much harder</p>
<p>did u guys get alot of A or F for science section?</p>
<p>Can someone create threads for the other sections of the exam? Thanks</p>
<p>^yes. I got many a and f</p>
<p>June was way harder, nickps. I actually enjoyed some of the readings from April and this test just made me want to cry. I didn’t get to read the Natural Science passage at all.</p>
<p>**** im going crazy haha my composite for my first test was so bad it was a 24. I have to hit high like 28+ considering parents are crazy and chinese -_-</p>
<p>Second the a and f thing.</p>
<p>Well that was my first experience with the ACT and it was interesting to say the least. I thought English, math, and reading were really easy but science killed me. There just wasn’t enough time! You actually had to read more than the reading section. I’d get through a passage and understand it completely, but then I’d only get to answer five questions before I had to read through a new passage! I ran out of time, guessed on eight. 
The questions themselves weren’t that difficult though which is good, because it means I can improve my score a lot in the fall if I figure out a way to speed up on the science section.</p>
<p>But I really think I got perfect or almost perfect on English and reading and an almost perfect on math surprisingly. The math was a lot better than the SAT. </p>
<p>Is it possible to still get a really good overall score if one of your sections is really bad? When colleges see your ACT score do they see an overall score or a breakdown? Not very familiar with the ACT scoring system.</p>
<p>I thought the English for this one was really bad. I took it in April and got a 35 in English but this time I don’t think I even got a 30.</p>
<p>@ephemeralbliss ok well at least I’m not the only one. I literally guessed on 6 without looking at the question cause I ran out of time, and even on the ones I did answer I was maybe 50% sure.</p>
<p>Also: on English I was very conflicted on semicolons vs commas. Did anyone else feel this way? I don’t know semicolons very well, because I never use them in my writing.</p>
<p>did anyone else think reading was super tough in comparison to practice tests and stuff?</p>
<p>I thought Math was insanely hard compared to the practice test. Ended up not being sure on 3-4 questions. </p>
<p>Surprisingly, the other sections were pretty easy. I finished on time for all of them with ~40 seconds to spare. I’m nervous though because I got quite a bit three-letters in a row on the Science section (might just be superstition)</p>
<p>The essay portion was same-old same-old IMO.</p>
<p>I missed one on English cuz I didn’t know spat was the past tense of spit. sigh…</p>
<p>what was the answer?spat?</p>
<p>On math, did anyone get (K) mn for #54 with the polynomials?
Also on science, there was one question in the passage about the colorimeter that asked what decreasing the bounded stuff would do to the absorptivity… I put (B) decrease but I wasn’t sure if it was actually (A) increase.</p>
<p>Did any of you get “varied but with no general trend” because it went 80 80 80 and then it started to degrease … i would of put decreaased of all of them were getting lower but not in this case</p>
<p>It is spat.</p>
<p>Did anyone have a test 5 in the back of their booklet? I had form 71C. It was like a 20 question math test… what was that all about? We didn’t do it, but whaaaat?</p>
<p>it was decreased, was it with all the elements?like mercury was at the top of graph?all decreased</p>
