October ACT vs others

<p>To those that have taken multiple sittings, including the October 28 one:</p>

<p>after recieving scores, how did you compare with other test dates?</p>

<p>bump anyone?????</p>

<p>lol I actually did worse. I even took a Kaplan course to help me, and unfortunately it didn't help me at all.</p>

<p>Comparing it to June, it seemed much harder</p>

<p>I haven't received my scores yet, however, English/Math seemed easier, Reading was a little harder, and Science was a lot harder than normal for me. However, I guess there is a great curve, so that should make up for it.</p>

<p>Harder. But that seems to be the trend - good think I'm done!</p>

<p>i was just wondering because it seemed like the curve was pretty generous this time and im not sure that i could score higher if i were to take it again</p>

<p>i always make my biggest score jumps on the october test. i was stuck at a 30,30,29,28,30 from oct. to june of last year and then when i took it this last time i got a 33. a lot of people think the december test is the easiest but i always think its the october</p>

<p>Wow, you've taken the ACT quite a few times. O_O</p>

<p>I thought the Oct test was much easier but I did study a week before the test w/ Princeton Review's 2006 prep book.</p>

<p>Oct test was kinda crappy...
Eng's difficulty was the same as ever
Math was harder... Took a nap during teh June one but didnt even finish on this one...
reading and scie... same as ever</p>

<p>i thought the october test was harder, but i ended up improving.</p>

<p>Boo21: My son also took a Kaplan course & didn't improve his scores. Are you going to try to get your money back?</p>

<p>i came back from the october test thinking it was the easiest ACT i had taken, and i had take 3 (32, 33, 33) and i was right... i improved my score to a 35!</p>

<p>TNMom, yes I am. I'm calling Kaplan tommorow. They did say that if you dont' improve, you get your money back :)</p>
