<p>on that test a 33 in science would give you a 26</p>

23

<p>Ughhhh.</p>

<p>Well, thanks anyway.</p>

24

<p>how could you say that science was easy?!?!??!?!?!</p>

<p>it raped me six times over</p>

<p>pretty sure i got 34+on everything else, but id be happy with a 28 on that science</p>

25

<p>i was going to get my scores canceled because my mom had it so that they automatically get sent to both UF and Georgia Tech.. but i really don't want them to see it now because i don't think i did well =(</p>

<p>i hate standardized testing, i do so horrible, i'm smart but i can't work under time constraints =(</p>

26

<p>English was medium
Math was medium
Reading was SOOOO EASY
Science would have been easier if the fire alarm hadn't gone off in the building. @#$%</p>

27

<p>I liked most of it... the science was SOOOOO long.... I normally get 31+, but this time I'd be lucky to break 30</p>

<p>The only math question I didn't like was the h(x) is proportional to x one. I think I overanalyzed - put A - line with y-int at 0</p>

<p>Also, does anyone know why my quick reply box at the bottom of the page is missing?</p>

28

<p>how is that overanalyzing? i put A too, and i'm prety sure it's right.</p>

<p>it would just be y=kx, k being the constant. it wouldn't be a hyperbola and would most definitly be going through 0,0.</p>

29

<p>I thought the engish wasnt that bad, i thought the math wasn't that bad either but i wasnt able to finish so i guesed on about 5....
reading pretty good
science.......... i didn't know how to answer some of the questions, especially the animal chart things.... sea beds....</p>

30

<p>Yeah I put A and so did 2 other people I know.</p>

31

<p>another math question:
for the largest prime numbers < 60 - was the answer E - something like 47, 53, 59
if I get this right, I have an good shot at 36!!</p>

32

<p>Yes thats right Duck.</p>

33

<p>this PROBABLY shouldnt go here but i was just thinking......if i get basically equivalent scores on the SAT adn ACT, do u think it would look stupid to send both, or do u think it wouldnt amtter?</p>

34

<p>I have a few quick questions:</p>

<p>Math - What were the last two? I ran out of time and put C and H.</p>

<p>Reading - What was the last one? Ran out of time again...I put A.</p>

35

<p>Is the ACT like the SAT in that if everyone thinks it's easy and does well then the curve is terrible? Thanks!</p>

36

<p>I wish i took the ACT today..too bad i forgot.</p>

37

<p>brownieboy,
Well one test could be seen as confirming the other, if the scores are similar. (And that can be either good or bad depending on those scores, so I would decide whether I want to emphasize the scores as being overall validating of my work and ability, or if I wanted not to raise red flags.)</p>

<p>Similarly, I think I would not want to show huge swings within sections of a test -- if one test has so many internally different scores, and the other does not. (I would send the more consistent one, as long as the composite scores are comparable.) JMO.</p>

<p>^^ Colleges tend to like to see consistency of result: that's the reason for the above.</p>

38

<p>thanks a lot epiphany- depending on what the new sat scores are (took them in june) adn the ACts, ill make my decision from there</p>

39

<p>lets start posting a list of all the answers we rememeber</p>

40

<p>I put A as well.</p>
