<p>Just took an international test (South America) and it was SOO HARD compared to the practice tests from the ACT book.</p>

<p>english will probably be -3
math i know already -2
reading -7 (guessed the last 5)
science -7 (guessed the last 5)</p>

<p>essay was chill</p>

<p>i hope the curve for math is 58-60 and for reading and science at least 38-40</p>

42

<p>The US version is different from the international version. What was the US ACT form # today?</p>

43

<p>I had 71D, if I remember correctly.</p>

44

<p>I just finished- not too bad!!!</p>

45

<p>I thought that science section was hard, but it is always hard i think (from taking PACT) but the essay was super easy</p>

46

<p>I also had 71D and had 18D on the writing</p>

47

<p>I thought science was hard (too many questions with passages involving physics), reading and the essay where easy enough, mixed feeling about math (more geometry then I would have liked) and English.</p>

48

<p>I agree @artsygirl. I haven’t taken physics yet and there were some questions that having taken physics definitely would have helped. My essay was incredible easy, it was about whether or not students should listen to audio recordings or “literary works”/books for school, or if they should just read the books.</p>

49

<p>@hennebou I’m from Poland. What about you?</p>

<p>So 70R and 15K again:

  • English: I wasn’t sure during answering many questions. Too many… Score may range from 25+ to 30+. And there was a question about synonyme of one word that I didn’t know (it began with “c”) - please help me find this one.
  • Math: 36! Second 36 in math :slight_smile:
  • Reading: I started with 2nd passage, leaving 1st to the end. I bombed the prose fiction, but 2nd, 3rd, and 4th went well. Around 30, maybe 30+.
  • Science: As I wrote before, it was very easy test. Except the part about thunderclouds. 30th and 34th question are the only obstacles on my way to a 36. 30+ with a slight chance for a 36 since the curve is unforgiving.
  • Writing: Prompt was relatively easy, I wrote 2 pages. I made it very simple, consisting of every elements needed in such essay, though my arguments were soo stupid. Score will range from 6 to 8, I guess.</p>

<p>Hey, internationals! Maybe we should start another thread about our version of the test? It would be difficult to find out replies to our questions in number of US tests posts…</p>

<p>Jason, I agree about physics (I am in it right now), you should edit your post and remove the prompt, people on the West coast have not taken the test yet/will have an unfair advantage.</p>

51

<p>Form 71d US form
English-confident in all question -0 or 1
Math=-2
Reading(always my nemesis)= -5 to 7
Science -did really well - 2</p>

52

<p>I ran out of time on Reading and literally guessed on all 10 questions for the 2nd passage (did all the rest). I guessed for B for all them. So if I get -10 total on reading what range can I expect? Ugh.</p>

<p>I did good on english and math, decent on science.</p>

53

<p>I did really well on all of them except for the few at the end of Math that caught me by surprise. Easily a 33+ and a 10+ on the essay…</p>

54

<p>I had 71A for the regular test and 18D for the essay.</p>

55

<p>I think everyone on earth had 18D…</p>

56

<p>Nope, we’ve got 15K</p>

57

<p>Are you international?</p>

<p>Here in Pittsburgh we had 18D as well…</p>

58

<p>Does anybody know the answer for the dot question?
number 58 i think</p>

59

<p>Yes, i am international. We all had 70D + 15K here</p>

60

<p>How did you guys feel about the last 10 questions on the Math section of the ACT? :/</p>
