October 2014 ACT discussion thread

<p>Just gotta wait…</p>

<p>Thank you, AP Chem! Yes, this wait, it’s like eternity…</p>

<p>I haven’t even taken biology or chemistry and was able to find almost every answer in the passage or use reasoning even on the questions that supposedly required background knowledge. I found only one question that actually required background knowledge to answer</p>

<p>Same. I suppose my opinion is somwwhat skewed. I’m in AP Chem, Ap bio, and AP physics so I just though the few questions that required background knoweledge were a free question. It’s typically the time intensive data interperation that gets me. I though the english and math were a little hard on this ACT. I ran out of time on math and there were 3-4 tricky questions on english, and Iv’e made a 34 in both categories before.</p>

<p>@JSSMIT How can you handle ap chem, bio, and physics in the same year?!?!?!?!? </p>

<p>@racksonracks‌ it is so possible…</p>

<p>ACT updated their test layout… It changed over the last few months… Check em out. It might save you on the coming December test. Sept(math), October(science-now more flipping knowledge is needed, though I knew knowledge questions but the basic passage ones stumped me! Where the f is the answers for half of the questions?!)…December may be English/Reading so brace yourselves…

<p>the main problem on the science for me was exhaustion, like someone said earlier. i ended up guessing on the last couple sections…</p>

<p>@tlb150‌ Taking full length, timed practice tests really helps with that. I felt pretty much dead mentally by the Science Section last time but not this time. Also, the time part helped me go faster (which could be a bad thing if someone makes careless mistakes)</p>

<p>@limmazom‌ Unfortunately not. We’re all in the same boat. We have to wait nervously until our scores are reported; however, the majority of people should at least get them back on Nov. 11th which is a relief. I don’t think I could wait any longer. </p>

<p>Does the glitch to see early scores still work?</p>

<p>Wait a college already got my act score this october test is the first score I sent a score to them and I got accosted yesterday does that mean they’re already scored? I’m so confused I mean this is my local commuter college which accepts anyone with over a 2.5 but still they need an act score</p>

<p>@sophmore1 I do not believe the glitch works anymore. You used to be able to do that when you your status changed from registered to tested. However, now your status will just stay at registered until your score finally comes out. That glitch was popular a few years ago, but I’m pretty sure it dosen’t work anymore, although you can certainly still try. @reb1rr, it’s not possible that they have recieved scores from this test. ACT will email you when they send your scores out and it’s usually about a week after you can view them yourself, so you need to reconsider what happened there. There is no possible way that ACT would have sent them your scores already.</p>

<p>The “glitch” website is no longer in service. It has not worked since Dec 2012.</p>

<p>It’s Daylight savings guys, we will all do fine on the ACT just prayyyyyyyy :)</p>

<p>For the september test it also said 2 weeks for our results but I got them back 9 days after the actual test day. Will that apply for this one as well?</p>

<p>Actually, the glitch did work on the June 2014 test date :).</p>

<p>Link to the glitch?</p>

<p>I’ve never sent an ACT score to this college the only reason I took this ACT was to send a score to this college for free and I just got accepted. Nothing else could’ve possibly happened. I don’t see why they would accept me without an ACT score. </p>

<p>You can find it in the search, that is how I get to it. I heard some say in the September ACT that it had been fixed others it worked. I guess we will have to try it and see.</p>
