<p>When I took it in Feb 07 the Reading was -1 = 36. That would be sick though if -1 on math is a 36!</p>
<p>Same here, one of my friends who was trying to get a decent score (~27) felt like she did horrible on the science section.</p>
<p>I agree Jchang. When my proctor said 5 min i was incredibly surprised. I feel bad for kids who are just trying to get ok scores, that science section took a lot of incredibly quick thinking.</p>
<p>I also agree with that statement ^ I can’t imagine what students shooting for average scores were thinking during the section section. I was almost lost, so I’m sure they had to be. I actually heard a few people at my test center say that they guessed on just about every science question.</p>
<p>And to the OP, assuming that we took the same test, I don’t think there’s any way a -1 will be a 36 on the math. Math was abnormally easy, so I’d expect:
-1 35
-2 34
-3 33
-4/5 32</p>
<p>Also, I think science will be more lenient than what you listed.</p>
<p>This was my first time taking the ACT. Will how many problems we missed be on our score report?</p>
<p>IMO a reasonable science curve would be </p>
<p>-0 = 36
-1 = 35
-2 = 34
-3 = 34
-4 = 33
-5 = 33
-6 = 32
-7 = 32
-8 = 31
-9 = 31
-10 = 30</p>
<p>^ Hopefully that’s the science curve</p>
<p>Doubt it’ll be that nice. I found science pretty easy actually (for me), and sure some other people did as well.</p>
<p>My guess is more along the lines of…
-0 = 36
-1 = 35
-2 = 34
-3 = 33
-4 = 32
-5 = 31
-6 = 30
-7 = 30
-8 = 29
-9 = 29
-10 = 28</p>
<p>does anybody remember the curve from last ACT? I christmas treed 8 math Qs and still got a 34…</p>
<p>yeah dude, I missed at least 1~2 on math and got a 36</p>
<p>Apparently the Math section of the Sept. ACT was a beast.</p>
<p>it was a beast although I tamed it</p>
<p>I heard the science on the Sept. ACT was way harder than the science on this ACT</p>
<p>Dream on!! The math curve will not be that easy! -10 being a 30? Psh.</p>
<p>if I could only get a 28 on science…I’d hug my mailman</p>
<p>i took the SAT but definitely did not do well (I’m a total math/sci person btw). I’m looking to take the ACT in December, but what is the difference between English and Reading?</p>
<p>English focuses on grammar (is this the right place to put the comma, who/whom, etc.) and Reading is reading comprehension (reading the passage and answering main idea, where should this paragraph go? questions)</p>
<p>english: ok curve
math: harsh curve
reading: ok curve
science: lenient curve</p>
<p>if anyone knows the curve from Sept ACT and June ACT for each section, can u post em plz?</p>
<p>i find reading to be the hardest… science was no problemo</p>
<p>is this accurate? because it almost makes me regret not taking the october test.</p>
<p>and also, does the ACT get progressively easier for each later test date?</p>
