October 2017 ACT Discussion Thread

@cdn1267 I inquired about this with ACT. The reason that it is almost 2 weeks (it is just one week past what they normally do) is because this is one of their biggest testing dates in the year.

Hey guys!
What do you think about science? How hard was it?

easier than practice

What about the last passage? I got some difficulties on the last couple of questions

Same, but I think the passage was fine, I just only had 4 minutes to do it in.

Science and math are the hardest sections for me, but I found the science section to be pretty easy this time! I actually got through all the questions, which has never happened before! On the other hand, I thought the math section was harder than any of the practice tests I’ve taken. I was pretty nervous though, so that probably didn’t help. I just hope my math score won’t lower my composite too much!

still easier than practice
you just look at it then answer

@cdn1267 that really kind of sucks for seniors trying to fit in one last test.Normally its a ten day turn around - this time its 17 days.

Does anyone know if we will have time to send our scores for the December 1st deadline?

ACT said 14 days after the test but online it says 17. Really hoping they are padding the date, as seniors MUST get scores into colleges!

Status changed to Tested this morning.

Tested in PA

Are scores coming out tonight???

That’s what I’m wondering??? My status still hasn’t changed from registered! We’ve already had to wait an extra week… Seniors can’t keep waiting!!! Ughhh

Yes, they are expected tonight.

10pm on the west coast, 1am on the east coast. 11pm in NM, so I’ll still be up. Hoping for an unlikely 33+ composite to beat my SAT score. There is no application deadline for my uni, but the scholarship deadline is December 1 so I need to decide whether to send this score once I get it.

Curve predictions?

Just jumping in. My last test score was a 26, 31R, 28E, 24S, 21M. Hoping to get my superscore this time around a 30, it’s been a full year since I took the last test. Scores NEED to come out tonight, the senior struggle is real.

I’m hoping for a 30+, I’ve gotten a 29 every time I’ve taken, I reallyyy want a 33, I’m so nervous as Oct was my last time taking it (scholarship purposes). I’ve seen curve predictions on reddit, they say math could be a good curve but idk. I really hope so D:

@Classicgirl17 Oh god I hope math is a big curve. I felt really good about science this time, but math was rough… my calculator stopped working right before the test
