***SEPTEMBER 2015 ACT DISCUSSION THREAD***

English- Confusing and this is from someone who got a 35 in February
Math- Easy until last 10
Reading- Easy except humanities passage
Science - Easy

Did anybody else run out of time on Reading, or am I just a slow reader?

The math was very hard for me and the science was easier than normal. I only need a good science score though thank goodness. Everything else was normal to me

Reading section made me wanna cry. I was so rushed. Idek why. Usually I can finish just in time. But… I’m praying that the curve is generous :expressionless:

@Argonian183 I ran out of time. I didn’t answer the last 5 or so. Really devastated. Reading was my worst section so I practiced a lot but I still run out of time this time…now I’m not even sure if it was worth it for me to spend that much time on reading.

@tina23 Same…I completely guessed on literally every Passage 4 question : (

English- Easy, finished in 25 min :slight_smile:
Math- Easy but tight on time
Reading- Not to bad, except the humanities passage
Science- I thought this was by far the hardest section, simply because it was time-consuming. Did anyone else think the CH section was obscure?

MODERATOR’S NOTE:
Edited out reference to a specific question.

I got a 34 on reading last time. I was hoping for that 36, but I didn’t finish. I had to bubble in 5 random ones. :confused:

@tina23 I guess we’re not reading at a “college-level pace”. I hardly practiced, so it’s my fault, but the time constraint on this section is honestly quite absurd. I’ve never had a problem completing any reading section on a standardized test, ever.

English- easy
Math- egh not horrible easy but not too hard. ran out of time at the last 5 or 6.
reading-easiest reading i’ve taken.
science- hard
predicting my breakdown to be : E33/32 M29 R36 S26 C31W10(On old scale, not sure what it’s would be on the new one)

Helps for the reading sections if you’re interested in the passages. I guess i got lucky

English - Pretty easy
Math - Eh
Reading - Very easy but I ran out of time on my last passage (on average I finish with about 5-10 minutes to spare)
Science - Much easier than I expected, but again, time ran out on the last passage.

Interesting to see how so many people felt rushed on the reading.

I want my scores now omg.

@breezyjo you are joking about #40, right?

How long do scores usually take? I mean the proctor said 5-8 weeks but that seems excessive.

TAKE PITY ON ME ACT

@leslieknope4 Most people get their scores within 2-3 weeks.

I got a 35 on math on the June test. It was definitely harder this time.

@Sizzleracn LOL

I’ve always got mine a week from this coming Tuesday. So 10 days
