<p>So what did you guys think of the test?</p>
<p>This is How I would compare it as apposed to the last one in June</p>
<p>English- Easier
Reading-Harder by a decent amount
Math- About the same (I’m good at math and my calculator started screwing up half way through so it’s hard to judge)
Science-A lot harder compared to last time in my opinion. I have always thought that the science section was a gimme from taking both the ACT once before and having taken the PLAN. Maybe I just went into it too cocky, but I felt like I should have been getting answers quicker and with much more certainty.
Writing- I really like the topic. I always appreciate ACT topics over SAT topics. Anyway I liked my essay so hopefully it will get a good grade.</p>
<p>idk…i thought the math was more challenging than any practice test i’ve ever taken…ugh great…i was freaking out</p>
<p>…and the reading…like wth…i’ve never run out of time before, but today the proctor was like 5 minutes! and i just had begun reading the passage…ughh then he had a window open…and the birds were chirping like crazy and people were playing baseball or something outside…so i basically guessed on the the last quarter. ■■■.</p>
<p>Compared to real practice ACT tests I took…</p>
<p>English: much easier (15 minutes left at the end of this one)
Math: Eh. I don’t know. I had about 5 minutes left and there were two questions I wasn’t sure of, so it seemed about average to me.
Science: Much harder. I was struggling to answer all the questions within the time limit. Maybe a nice curve?
Reading: About average. Maybe a little harder?
Writing: Average.</p>
<p>^ Completely agreed, and I got a 35 on science the last time… but since ACT actually curbes tests unlike the SAT people, we’ll see some good numbers… hopefully.</p>
<p>Overall I thought this ACT was harder than last time.</p>
<p>English - No prob</p>
<p>Math - ALOT HARDER!! total wth moment for me… i average 34 on practices totaly f’ed this one up. one question had an error if u caught it. How are they going to put a ferris wheel problem in a 1 minute per question test? </p>
<p>Reading- As usual a time struggle… i still dont know what the first article was about… </p>
<p>Science- Was ok but some of it was badly written/required outside knowledge.</p>
<p>I personally thought the math section was a lot more difficult than on past dates. A certain section of science (not sure on what I’m allowed to say on here) made me feel like I was translating Ancient Greek.</p>
<p>when can we start discussing individual questions?</p>
<p>BTW, reading caught me of by surprise. 1st passage was ridiculous. And science was so ridiculous that i didn’t even read all the paragraphs. Some questions in english were kind of iffy.</p>
<p>English=Easy
Math=Easy until halfway through(for me). Then it’s time to start guessing!!!
Reading=Hard as hell first passage. Hard to get the gist of it but then, easy afterwards. Until I realize I had no time and missed freakin 5 questions!!!
Science-Easy, but sorta hard to understand. I thought it would have been easier. I had to guess on some of them
Writing=I liked the prompt, it was nice and relatable for me. Hopefully I do well.</p>
<p>What was that ferris wheel one? Didn’t even know where to start. Just put C cause I ran out of time.</p>
<p>post #8…thank god i wasn’t the only who thought math was more difficult…generous curve, anyone? i usually finish with 10-15 minutes to spare…none this time…and had to guess on a good 3-4 questions…not including the ones i felt iffy about</p>
<p>reading - not bad except for the first passage
english - not bad
math - ehhh it was math
science - had to rush like crazy on this one; thought the last and third-to-last(I think?) were the most difficult
writing - thought I did really well on my essay, probably my best part of the test</p>
<p>This was my first time taking it and overall I felt it was easier than the SAT (which I did poorly on) content-wise, but it really is the time constraint that makes it tough.</p>
<p>Science…<em>headdesk</em></p>
<p>when do the scores come out</p>
<p>Reading-harder than past tests
English-fairly easy
Math-Average
Science-easier than usual</p>
<p>c0026- September 28.</p>
<p>english - average
math - easier than June, but I still struggled with it
reading - okay
science - hell
writing - the prompt was good, but i just can’t write quickly so my essay was ****</p>
<p>English was extremely easy. I’ll drown myself if I don’t get a 36.</p>
<p>Math was typical, but it had a few quirky problems that might have tripped me up.</p>
<p>Reading was decent. The first passage was a b itch to interpret, but the rest was fair and straightforward.</p>
<p>Science was disgusting. I guessed on three and am pretty sure I missed 8-10 more. It will easily be my lowest score.</p>
<p>Wow I didn’t think this many people would post on my thread lol
English- Easy except a couple were hard
Math- Easy except for the last one and the i problem and the ferris wheel
Reading- First passage=hell rest was easy
Science- Easy except last section</p>
