***OCTOBER 2015 ACT DISCUSSION THREAD***

I had 75A and I thought it was really difficult. Hoping for a super generous curve, especially on science.

@FeelsScr3wed can’t say but let just say the frustration isn’t the fact i got it wrong. It is the fact that I PICKED THE RIGHT ANSWER AT FIRST, then switched to the wrong one because i ran out of time. T_T

Considering the fact that i got 35 on Math for the past 3 ACT, and I didn’t know I got any of them wrong on those. Nope, no chance for 36.

Did anyone feel like this ACT was harder than the one in September? I felt like it was :frowning:

no

English: Easiest of all 4 imo since it’s my strongest
Math: Wew, was easy and then the last few ; ~ ;
Holy heck, the reading section absolutely murdered me. I took 10 mins on the 1st passage and the next 2 I just guessed my life away. The last passage I was able to rush thru in 6 mins confidently though.
Science: Meh~easy. I had 9 minutes to spare for the absolute nonsense passage of the viewpoints

Essay topic: I love you ACT makers

I thought this was definitely easier than September.
Overall comparison between the two:
English- same, maybe a bit easier
Math- easier but still harder than avg (those in the Red Book are MUCH easier)
Reading- about the same
Science- wow okay easier this blew me away since I didn’t study at all for Science since Sept

Still harder overall than the Red Book practice tests but I think I got the two point increase from the 32 i got in Sept to get a 32.5- 33!!

This felt way harder than the June test… I barely had time to finished reading and science, and I got 34 on those last time hmm

How many would I have to miss to get a thirty for each section

What are the differences between the tests we took?
I know they had us write the test code we got like 75A, but what’s the difference between them?

Is it me or is the ACT generally getting harder

I wish we got scores tonight lolol

I feel like I’m the only one who found math hard and reading easy. And I’m a math-person

75A

English: Neither particularly hard nor easy
Math: Harder than usual but not as hard as September
Reading: Easy (but I could be biased because I got a 34 last time)
Science: Even easier than September (I did get 4 in a row at the beginning)

did u guys notice a lot of patterns in the science sections in the answers, like a,b,c,d,d,c,b,a. That’s not an exact one but a lot of patterns similar to it

i think i guessed on about ~4-5 and got some wrong in the math :frowning:

Yes i got a similar pattern

English- I finished just on time, had no time to check answers. in September I finished with ten minutes to spare and even checked some of my answers. But maybe I rushed because I thought I’d get at least a 30 and I got a 27. So hopefully i was more careful this time.
Math- I’m not a math person so naturally it’s always hard to me. Maybe slightly easier than September. In September I guessed on like 30 (no joke! But they were LUCKY guesses because my math score was nice) and this month I only had to guess on about 18-20. Like I said, I suck lol
Reading- was my highest score in September, but probably not this time. I didn’t even get to the last section, so I guessed on about 10. I think I did really well on the other passages though. I found them really interesting.
Science- oh god. Okay, better than September but still difficult. It was my lowest score last time, and is probably my lowest score again. I can’t even predict how I did on this one, but I do feel better than September.

I’m not as smart as a lot of you guys and I’m not trying to get into UPenn or anything, so I’ll be happy with a 28. got a 27 on September

I don’t really know how I felt about that test…
Really mad cuz usually I score 35s on english but this test I couldn’t focus

Math - got everything but the last question and probably made a lot of mistakes

Reading - easier than usual but still kinda hard

Science - idk I don’t usually do well on this section

there was one question in the English section that seemed to have no correct answers. I was about to cry lol. I had to guess on that one.

I really felt that this ACT was 100000000 easier than September in all aspects! September was such a let down. I felt completly bad after finishing the one in September;however, I feel much better from this one. I had lots of spare time, which never happens for me.
