<p>I'll start it off.</p>
<p>English - 6,7 off
Math - 6,7 off
Reading - 4,5 off
Science - 8,9 off</p>
<p>What do you think those scores are?</p>
<p>Interesting from comments I’ve seen so far, with lots of different points of view…but a few observations:</p>
<p>– overall, science sounds like it was a little harder than usual
– math may have had a calculus/pre-calc question or two going a little beyond the trig you would normally expect…easy if you have taken calculus, but forget it if you haven’t
– reading sounds about average level of difficulty (but harder than the September ACT which was pretty easy with a very rough curve as a result)
– no idea on english!</p>
<p>Thought english was easy
thought math, reading was average
thought science was difficult</p>
<p>I ■■ up the science part, ■■■■ the Car questions</p>
<p>Science = epic fail. I’ll be lucky to even get a 30.</p>
<p>Reading = +1 or 0 curve???</p>
<p>math curve predictions?
i’m prayinggg for a generous curve, i felt that science was easy though.</p>
<p>math is easy, so is reading (I feel it alike Toefl reading with time pressure) + english
science is not hard, for the truth, but the time pressure ****** me up</p>
<p>English was fairly easy.
Reading and math were about average, with the math having a few stumpers to make people waste alot of time if they didn’t immediately know how to solve it.
Science was a *****. 'Nuff said.</p>
<p>i felt like most of math was pretty easy, but i still felt like again, there were definitely a few questions thrown in that could trip me up, badly.</p>
<p>I thought the Math and English were quite easy this time around. The Reading this time was easy overall; Humanities is normally really difficult for me, but this one was quite easy. The Natural Science passage was a bit hard to follow though. The science section I thought was quite difficult, but it might just be the fact that my proctor called five minutes when I was only halfway through the genetics passage. I nearly passed out, but then I realized that there actually fifteen minutes left and she had just read the time wrong. :)</p>
<p>I’m not expecting the curve to be very generous on the English or Reading, but because there were quite a few calculus and trig problems on the math, I wouldn’t be surprised if the math curve is pretty big. As far as the science goes, I can’t say because my whole testing room was just in panic over the time mistake. I will say that the majority of the science passages were easy, but the car one and the capacitor one were a little tricky for me.</p>
<p>Ok i thought the english was easy so the curve wont be generous at all for that. The reading should get a slight curve for the last passage. Math deff needs a curve they threw in alot of *** questions. Science some portions were easy the car passage made me want to kill myself and the fighting scientist was alot harder then usual!!</p>
<p>Alright, so I’m thinking that the sections in order from easiest to hardest were English, reading, math, and science. So based off this, here are my predictions:</p>
<p>English: -1=35, -2=34, -3=33, -4=32, -5=32
Reading: -1=35, -2=34, -3=33, -4=33, -5=32
Math: -1=35, -2=35, -3=34, -4=33, -5=32
Science: -1=36, -2=35, -3=34, -4=33, -5=32</p>
<p>Math I believe was difficult enough to merit a -2=35; however, science was not quite difficult enough to merit a -2=36 (probably the most generous scale). Comments?</p>
<p>^While I would love that, I think math and science would be a bit more harsh. Reading and English seem, though.</p>
<p>Yeah, there probably wont be 2 35s for math. There may be 2 33s, however because kids who do well but aren’t at the top may not have understood the trig questions. The science curve is too generous though, like WongTongTong says.</p>
<p>the math could be a 35 while missing 2. Some people just don’ttake math classes that would give them the knowledge to answer it, but calc students can get them in under 10 seconds.</p>
<p>ive seen about 5 tests where it goes</p>
<p>60 36
58-59 35
56-57 34
55 33
54 32</p>
<p>and so on…</p>
<p>^Why does everyone keep saying there were calc questions on it? I took calc bc last year, but I did not find myself using ANY calc on the exam. What were the calc questions?</p>
<p>Also, Id much rather prefer a -1 = 36, but I doubt math will be +1. :/</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Isn’t this the same thing we said on the June test?</p>
<p>Basic calc, wongtongtong. Not calc bc</p>
<p>To be honest, I won’t expect any generous curves. At best, if there’s a curve, it will be a -1 or -2 to any applicable sections.</p>
