Sept 2014 General ACT discussion

<p>@micmatt513 that sucks! That would seriously mess up my concentration. June’s test overall seemed a bit difficult, IMO.</p>

<p>@micmatt513‌ - Small world! Syosset. </p>

<p>@micmatt513‌ @lrpw101‌ I took the test at North Shore too! Although they did give us an extra 8 minutes on the reading, I felt that they took away some time on the science section.</p>

<p>I thought the june science section was very easy but this one seemed very hard</p>

<p>@micmatt513 Can’t believe you go on this also, I am in your Macro class lol.</p>

<p>@An1100345 - You’re either trolling or mistaken. My school offers zero AP classes - we are above standardized tests, lol. Unless you’re referring to American History II at Chaminade - in which case there’s a distinct possibility.</p>

<p>@lrpw101 Syo ftw lol. </p>

<p>I need serious help in reading and science (but it also depends on the passage) i get 35/36’s on english and math but 28/29 on reading and science. Do you guys think ap language will help a lot with reading?</p>

<p>Let’s keep predicting the curve</p>

<p>Wow. Math just made me want to die. On all the practice I finish with more than enough time but with this one…I don’t know what happened. English seemed especially easy because I had about 20 minutes to check my work. Reading was also easy but the double passage was so BORING! Plus it was a double passage. Did I mention it was a double passage. I couldn’t even understand what one passage meant, let alone compare them. </p>

<p>I don’t really know about the June one. It was my first time so I guess I was on an anxious high. But from what I’'ve heard, June was the hardest of the testing cycle. </p>

<p>lol guess im registering for the october test now</p>

<p>Personally, I thought:
English- Super easy! Easier than the red book.
Math- Harder than the red book. Ran out of time (which NEVER happened to me in all 20 practice tests I did!) :’(
Reading- Same-ish level as the red book but prose fiction and natural science kind of threw me off.
Science- Bit harder than the red book. The arguing scientists always threw me off in the practice test, and I fell in the same trap. lol
So far after I read the forums I’m thinking of:
E: -0 (36)
M: -5 (HOPING for a 33 but…but that’s not going to happen…can miracles happen? prob not. 32 probably.)
R: -4 (32?? anyone? is it too high?)
S: -2 (33)
Comp: 33 if I’m unlucky & 34 if I’m lucky. Let’s all cross our fingers for the generousestestest curve. Yikes :(</p>

<p>@gamink348‌
I think
E: -0 (36)
M: -5 (32)
R: -4 (33)
S: -2 (34)
C: 34</p>

<p>What do you think for me?
E: -0
M: -1
R: -8
S: -8</p>

<p>Personally, the English was easy, math was very easy, reading was slightly challenging (double passage threw me off ), and science was difficult for me because I had to guess for 3 due to poor time management. </p>

<p>My Prediction:
C:33
E: 34-36(0-3 mistakes )
M:36( 0 mistakes unless I made a careles mistake )
R: 31-33(3-5 mistakes maybe less )
S:30-31(6 mistakes in due part for my guessing, maybe less)
W:8-12 ( idk, the act grading is subjective so not sure )</p>

<p>Super bummed about the test yesterday. English and Science were normal/easier than usual, but I ran out of time for math and reading which never happens! :frowning: Fairly certain that I blew my chances of getting into Vanderbilt. I studied so hard for this. So so frustrated. </p>

<p>The English was very easy. I think I’m one of the only people that thought the reading was easy. The science was okay, I probably missed around 4 or 5. That math was insane in my mind lol.</p>

<p>@alice121‌ I actually thought the reading was fairly easy. I probably missed around 4 though. I had to guess on those to save time. But the ones I answered, I felt like I got correct.</p>

<p>Prediction:
English (-1): 35
Math (-5): 32
Reading (-4): 33
Science (-4): 30</p>

<p>^ does that look possible?</p>

<p>@majikarp‌
If you had form 72D
E: -1 (35)
M: -5 (32)
R: -4 (33)
S: -4 (32)
C: 33</p>

<p>@austin23‌ Id killlll for that. We’ll see I guess.</p>
