I thought that math was the hardest and science was second hardest. Those are generally my best but we shall see.
Probably got a 34 on English and 36 on Reading. Math was really hard, but science was just impossible.
Science was absolutely insane. I had NO idea for a few of them
Felt great on English, Reading, and even Science surprisingly. Math was ridiculously hard and I had to guess on the last fourish questions. Last time taking the test I didn’t finish math or science but still got a 29 so hopefully I still pull out a 31-32 score. Definitely an improvement I think, but probably will stick to my SAT score.
Yeah, that was by far the most difficult ACT I’ve had the displeasure of taking. That isn’t exactly a bad thing because I feel the curve will be very forgiving.
What a delightful test.
Math and Science were brutal.
@AGoodFloridian, sounds like you’ve taken the ACT a few times. What kind of curve occurs…is there a table that gets posted by ACT once scores are out to gauge? For example, if a raw score of 54 on math is a 33, what would " a forgiving curve" look like? How much can it vary?
It seemed like there was a lot of stats on that test
I thought that English, Reading, and Math were a little difficult. I thought Science was relatively easy though
math and science were the hardest ive ever seen
Wow. All I can say. Made a 29,31,32 in the past 3 tests, but I don’t think it’s going any higher.
To those of you saying the math section is difficult, they changed up the section a little starting in September so they changed the curve (at least on the last test). Last time I missed 3 and still got a 35.
The science test was brutal. 33 has been my highest, but I think I got a 30.
English I felt was easy! Highest I’ve gotten is a 31, but I’m hoping for a 33 to help out my superscore.
Reading: god I hate reading. I have a gift. My gift is being a slow reader and not being able to even read the last passage. Don’t know how y’all 36 readers do it. Maybe I got a 32 at most… Missed 7 last test for a 30.
Overall, test was the most difficult I’ve encountered(I did only have 5 hours of sleep) in my 4 tests. Hardest sections for me go in this order Science>Reading>Math>English
My September ACT curve for comparison:
English -7 (31)
Math -3 (35)
Reading -7 (30)
Science -5 (30)
I noticed in my red “Real ACT 2016-17” prep book that the curves were really, really generous. Maybe the ACTs are getting harder but the curves are getting easier?? Idk
Oh! Wow! I just noticed that scores are going to take a week longer than usual to come out!
Today couldn’t get worse…
5th time taker. I’ve seen many act’s and will give honest opinion.
English was on the easier side not too difficult but not extremely easy.
Math was pretty normal maybe a little harder than usual
Reading was the same level pretty much
Science was extremely diffcult. Has to be the hardest I’ve seen.
Best of luck to everyone
@lhw1998 Where did you see that? Mine says postings begin November 8th
I’ve had my scores come out midnight of the first day all three past tests (knock on wood)
Taking the Dec test…Thinking I got a 27
@jpgrainer Yes, ACTs usually take about 10 days to come out. Therefore, they should be out on November 1st.
@Jpgranier that’s a week later. If it’s ten days like it usually is it would be November 1st
@Jpgranier normally they come out I mean about ten days but now it’s going to be about 17
Even for a math person like me, the math was brutal…Didn’t expect hyperbola to show up at all…
Science has a lot of effy questions…especially the last section…
