September 2010 ACT Prediction Thread

<p>Optimistic:
English: 35
Math: 36
Reading: 35</p>

<h2>Science: 36 (well, superscored I’m a 36 so I’m not worried)</h2>

<p>If everything is okish:
English: 34
Math: 35
Reading: 34
Science: 36</p>

<p>last time I got a 26 on the ACT (took it as a sophmore) </p>

<p>English: 34-36, thought I did really well :slight_smile:
Math: 23-25, really blanked out on this one
Reading: 33-36, again really well
science:25-27, I’m just not very good at science/math (at least on the act)</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone, hopefully my score will go from a 26 to a 28-30. Next time I’ll have to study my math</p>

<p>I didn’t think any of it was too bad.</p>

<p>Composite: 33-35
English: 34-36 (I’m pretty sure I missed one which sucks because I was shooting for a 36)
Math: 33-35 (I know I missed at least one here, probably two or three stupid mistakes too)
Reading: 34-36 (I felt pretty good about this, hoping for a 36)
Science: 33-36 (Surprisingly I felt that this section was really easy, and I only have a 30 on Science so far)</p>

<p>Essay: 9-11 (I felt really good about it, but then again I felt good about my 7 too; just noticed the coincidence of my predicted score and today’s date)</p>

<p>Praying for a 34-35, would be ecstatic for a 36.</p>

<p>E: 34 (-2)
M: 33 (-3)
R: 34 (-2)
S:26-29 (-6-10)</p>

<p>W:10</p>

<p>C: 32-33 (strongly dependent on science)</p>

<p>Hey guys, I think I’ve asked this question before but how would colleges such as Northwestern, Cornell, WashU, etc view my low science score. I got a 33 on science the first time I took the test, I don’t know what happened this time I guess I just lost focus. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised to get less than 26, my current range is rather optimistic.</p>

<p>Basically was it even worth retaking this test? My first time I got E:31, M:28, R:33, S:33, C:31. Should I cancel my scores soley because of science? Please help because I am really stressed right now.</p>

<p>MW2isawesome - Worst case scenario considering your predicted score is still a 32. Sure, the science section will be poor, but your composite still goes up. Plus, your superscored (or whatever term you would use) ACT would then be a 34.</p>

<p>I would suggest keeping the scores.</p>

<p>English-35
Math-32
Reading-36(Woot!)
Science-24-27 (LOL I hate science)</p>

<p>Composite 32-33</p>

<p>Composite: 34-36</p>

<p>English- 35-36 (Very easy section this time)
Math- 34-35 (Got the x=pi question wrong for sure)
Reading- 34-36
Science- 34-36</p>

<p>Essay: 7 at most -.- question totally threw me off.</p>

<p>Just found out I missed one on Science. No 36 for me. =(</p>

<p>(I suck as Science, I marvelled at the 33 I got on my first practice test. I was ecstatic when I finished on time and was hoping for a perfect 36)</p>

<p>Not sure if you’re all just very optimistic of if your all really smart.</p>

<p>Well congratulations! You all seemingly did fabulous!</p>

<p>English-- 29-32
Math–30-32
Reading-- 29-31
Science-- 18-34
Haha jk about science I really have no idea it could be great or horrible but I just want a 29 or higher in it.
Composite–30-32 HOPEFULLY</p>

<p>lol, either only the super genius people are posting their predictions, or we’re all screwed. my predictions:</p>

<p>best case: </p>

<p>eng: 32
math:33
reading: 31
science: 28
comp: 31</p>

<p>worst case:</p>

<p>eng: 30
math: 30
reading: 28
sci: 25
comp: 28</p>

<p>I feel like the science section was extremely difficult, especially in the 35 minutes ACT gives us. I mean, how can i read and analyze 7 passages with graphs and tables, then answer 40 questions, all in 35 minutes? Especially if the passages aren’t completely straight forward like this one. </p>

<p>Either way, im hoping to at least get a 29, so i stand a slim chance against othe ivy/high ranked schools. How did you guys do time-wise on the science?</p>

<p>^finished w/ 5 minutes to spare. Funny thing is that not once in the 3 practice tests i took did i EVER finish the Science portion.</p>

<p>My last 3 tests were:</p>

<p>E: 32, 36, 32
M: 33, 30, 34
R: 28, 30, 29
S: 31, 28, 30
C: 31.0, 31.0, 31.25</p>

<p>This test, I’m hoping for:</p>

<p>M: 36
E: 34
R: 30
S: 31
C: 32.75</p>

<p>Wow… 5 mins to spare? that’s great. with practice tests i also never finished in 35. i always took like 1-2 minutes extra. But the allele experiment in the science section was pretty confusing (to me at least). And the lack of a fighting scientests questions screwed up the balance of sections in science.</p>

<p>Wow I feel really stupid! I am just hoping for a 22 and you guys and girls are talking about a composite over 30. Anybody got some tips to help me get at 22?</p>

<p>Ok, after going through all the discussions again, it’s seems I’m at:
English: -1
Math: -1
Reading: -1
Science: -2</p>

<p>Barring any stupid mistakes or “debatable” questions (like prideful vs. reliant and mass vs. water/air),
I’m predicting (and hoping) for these scores:
English: 35
Math: 35
Reading: 35/36
Science: 33
Composite: 35</p>

<p>Worst case : 32
Best: 34</p>

<p>I pray for the latter D:</p>

<p>Im still at 35 math, possinly 36 science… (maybe 35? depending), 31+ english, 31 reading</p>

<p>comp: 33 with 35 science
super score: 34 with 36 science</p>

<p>C: 29-32 (30 in March)
R: 29-32 (30 in March)
E: 30-33 (32 in March)
M: 30-33 (29 in March)
S: 27-30 (30 in March)</p>

<p>Blah. I really hope I do better. I just don’t see it happening. I don’t feel like I did very strongly on the ACT this time around. It felt too much like last time (though it “felt” better, but only just).</p>

<p>I don’t know really. Does it makes sense to “feel” like you’ve done well/poorly? Whatever the case if there was improvement I don’t feel it was significant.</p>

<p>I know I did pretty badly at math. idk if I’ll break 30. I’m hoping my other sections will pull me up to at least a 34 composite. My god I need that 34.</p>
