OFFICIAL OCTOBER ACT Curve Thoughts

Test Preparation ACT Preparation
1

<p>Wow, I am shocked by my scores.</p>

<p>English - 24 (Dropped from a 29 in SEPTEMBER) I think this curve had to have been very harsh. I'm really upset with my english score.</p>

<p>Math - 28 (DROPPED from a 32 in September) Harsh curve yet again!! I really thought I could have done better on math.</p>

<p>Reading - 32 (UP from a 24 in September, 17 in April) ***?! Reading?!?? I guess this curve was generous???</p>

<p>Science - 30 (UP FROM A 28 in september) I honestly thought I did horrible. So I'm saying generous curve?!? I guessed on the last 7.</p>

<p>Composite 29 (Actually 28.5, I had a 28.25 in September and it rounded down, so woohoo)</p>

<p>So, what does everyone else think??</p>

2

<p>it’s good to hear reading has the easiest curve because i’m fairly sure i did amazing on eng, math and science</p>

3

<p>english seemed a little bit tougher this time
im fairly certain that math had a harsher curve than usual</p>

4

<p>was -1 in English = 34?</p>

5

<p>looks like science may have had a monster curve</p>

6

<p>@bronx</p>

<p>what do u think it was?</p>

7

<p>To be completely honest, Reading & Science may have gotten -1=36 curves and English might have been horrid…</p>

8

<p>i doubt science had any curve at all… lol
english had a good curve, atleast in my scores.</p>

9

<p>Science had a brutal curve, im pretty sure i missed 5 but I got a 28</p>

10

<p>had to be a huge curve - look at the guy above who guessed on 7
I guessed on more than that and had a proctor call time before the last 3 were even filled in. And oh man that was still good enough for a 34!!!
But I’m not complaining.</p>

11

<p>science had a terrible curve</p>

12

<p>Reading was unusually bad. I missed 2 and got a 34. Usually that’s 35.</p>

13

<p>I’m just a little confused about this:
Mathematics 35 Yes.
Pre-Algebra/Elem. Algebra 18
Algebra/Coord. Geometry 18
Plane Geometry/Trig. 18
Based on my subscores, shouldn’t this be a 36 instead of a 35?</p>

14

<p>this is my first time taking it, but the curves seem like they were pretty standard to me
except reading, which may have been a little more harsh
this is what i think, based on my scores:
-1 = 35 science
-3 = 33 reading
-2 = 34 english
not sure about math because i got 36 but i don’t think i missed any
very happy about 35 composite :D</p>

15

<p>I lost 2 on English
Gained 4 on Math
Gained 1 on Reading
Lost 3 on Science</p>

16

<p>Really? -3 = 33. I got a 33 on reading and I didn’t think I did that well. I only got a 690 on SAT CR for comparison.</p>

<p>English must’ve been bad thought, I got a 29 and I got 30-32 on practice tests.</p>

<p>Still 28.25. dghsojg. Contemplating whether I should take in December or not… I’m a senior.</p>

17

<p>Exactly. I thought I did horrible on reading and I got a 32.</p>

18

<p>I think that the reading curve was much more harsh on this one than the september one.
I got a 25 in reading on both tests and my sub-scores were:
On September test they were 14 &11
On October they were 15&12
Does this suggest that the curve was more harsh?</p>

<p>And math must have been very harsh! I am pretty sure I only missed 3 but I got a 31</p>
