~~JUNE 2017 ACT DISCUSSION~~

i don’t think i did as well as i hoped! after looking at the act reddit page a fair number of my answers don’t match up… time was my main problem, i got stressed during reading and science and rushed

@covfefe most of it i found to be relatively easy, there was just some stuff that was really confusing and since i was running out of time, i didn’t get a chance to look back :frowning:

@graceht Oh gosh… Just looked at the reddit. I know I got two wrong in science so far… Lovely. =D>

@aznboi4981 theres a couple on there that seem to be divided 50/50… just want to get scores to know for sure

I just checked the reddit and three of my science guesses were right! 8->

Anyone else get ravaged by Reading? Also, do you think -1 on math will make the cut for 36?

What forms did you guys have? Mine was 98G…

Is it bad that I forget what form? :))

English- ok (I missed at least two)
Math- hard (topics weren’t difficult just wordy- guessed on 3/4)
Reading- easy (unsure of one question)
Science- easy (more outside knowledge than usual)

English - pretty hard (at least april act english was wayyy easier)
Math - about the same as the april act, but still hard (didn’t finish in time)
Reading - eh, im just bad at reading, but i thought that the april act was def harder than this one
Science - again, this section was pretty bad in comparison with the april act

Overall, i thought that this test was way harder than april.
I was hoping to increase my composite score by one point and get a 35 but that definitely won’t happen now…

i have trouble with dew point (compared with air temperature or so) and replacing Ar with Kr or something. English was hard for me though because it asked a lot about the tone.

There were some questions on the Science section that seemed, to me, to require prior knowledge (the ones about genes that you mentioned). Your post seems to affirm that. I was under the impression the Science section was supposed to be about interpretation of data, not already knowing the subject material.

It’s a little inequitable.

English, Math, and Reading were easy. The Writing prompt was…well, less than ideal. :slight_smile:

Science ripped me a new one. There was one passage that only gave two tables and you couldn’t really infer from them what the answers were. It seemed to require prior knowledge, which isn’t what the Science section is supposed to do.

Off to Reddit.

you didn’t ‘require’ previous knowledge for that… you could figure out the relation by understanding the text but previous knowledge would surely help you.

Here are my curve predictions:

English:
0 -> 36
-1 -> 35
-2 -> 35
-3 -> 34
-4 -> 33
-5 -> 32
-6 -> 32
-7 -> 31
-8 -> 30
-9 -> 30

Mathematics:
0 -> 36
-1 -> 35
-2 -> 34
-3 -> 34
-4 -> 33
-5 -> 33
-6 -> 32
-7 -> 31
-8 -> 30

Reading:

0 -> 36
-1 -> 35
-2 -> 34
-3 -> 32
-4 -> 30
-5 -> 30

Science:

0 -> 36
-1 -> 35
-2 -> 35
-3 -> 34
-4 -> 32
-5 -> 31
-6 -> 30

@mohammadmohd18 Is it bad I wrote about Kim Kardashian? lolol I could not think of ANYTHING.

I got completely wrecked by the last math question. Aren’t the math questions supposed to come from stuff that most people learn in Algebra 1 and 2 or Geometry??? Or is my state just weird with math?

Bleh.

English was definitely harder than anything I’ve seen , no free questions at the start and several tricky ones
Math was okay without couple of tricky questions
Reading - not sure how I managed to mess this up again . Ran out of time and guessed about 7 questions and rushed through the prose(which I left for last) in 5 mins . Been scoring 32s on practices , 24 on April -.- , hoping just to get 28+ this time
Science was okay as well with a few tricky questions like the replacing Ne one . Hoping for -1=36
Essay was okay

Do you know how many questions you missed in April for the section scores you got. It should be on your score report.

Hey guys! I gave the ACT Form 98G yesterday. I was wondering what you guys thought of it? I thought English and Math were decent. Reading seemed decent but I ran out of time and had to make smart guesses on the last three (that never happens). Science was different… a lot of bio and gene questions but I had knowledge of that so I breezed through that section.
What did you guys think! Curve predictions?
