<p>it seems that a lot of people got lower reading and english scores than expected
including me.
E: 28 (expected atleast a 32)
R: 30 (expected a 33) </p>
<p>i felt pretty confident while taking the test and always did well on the Real practice ACT tests. Anyone else disappointed?</p>
<p>I agree on Reading. I got a 33 on that in December, but got a 31 this time. I was expecting a 33-34 again. I would really like to see which problems I got wrong on that section specifically.
Is it possible to order your booklet-answer sheet and the correct answers for the Feb. test?</p>
<p>English I actually raised 6 points from a 25 to a 31. Hopefully I'll be able to raise that to a 32 or 33.</p>
<p>Oh man.
I'm glad I'm not the only one.
I was practically screaming at myself for this:
35 on English on the December test
28 on English on the Feb. test</p>
<p>I have absolutely no clue what happened.
I never get lower than a 32 on the practice tests.
I ended up getting the same composite score as last time
thanks to that 28! :S</p>
<p>Ended up with a 25 for reading but then again, I didn't try to read the whole passages, mainly went directly to the questions and searched quickly. </p>
<p>Obviously, I probably missed a few tone, inference and purpose questions but I "should've" had extra time to check those but I got hung up on a few directly in the passage questions. This was a dry run of it though, I'll take a few practice tests with this new strategy.</p>
<p>Now I just need an English strategy to get a 30!</p>
<p>i know the feeling. i got a 24 on english and i expected at least a 30 since its my strongest subject. 27 Composite, expected at least a 29
but i guess i should be thankful the proctor even let me take the test since i walked in late -_- haha i was waiting outside the saturday school room for 5 minutes before i realized it wasn't the ACT room.</p>
<p>Obviously there's some self-selecting bias going on here, but I can't help but wonder if they mis-curved the reading section. I got a 32 when I was pretty sure I missed no more than three questions. I got three 36s in a row on the practice tests I took. I was baffled when I saw the 32.</p>
<p>Rocket Surgery - A lot of people were saying that it reading seemed really easy this time. Maybe the curve was just harsh. If you got 3 or 4 wrong with a harsh curve, you could've gotten a 32.</p>
<p>I expected a 35 in English and a 36 in reading before going in. After taking the test, I thought that I probably got a 35 in reading and a 36 in English. I literally can't imagine what I missed on the English section. I was totally confident in all of my answers and finished with 10 minutes to spare even after going over every answer.</p>
