September ACT Curves

Test Preparation ACT Preparation

<p>Would someone like to post their predictions?</p>

<p>I actually differed from most people, here is how I felt about it.</p>

<p>English = Weird, I'm not sure. I want to say more difficult but it seems like I got most of them right that are discussed about here. I had a question where it listed like three things blah, blah, and BLAH, and I put a comma after the last BLAH and idk if it should have been there. But, most people thought this was easy?</p>

<p>Math = About same, maybe a little easier. I got the hiking and COS question right because I guessed :) ran out of time and didn't get to read much on the figurine, so i think i missed that.</p>

<p>Reading = FIRST PASSAGE KILLS. I worked backwards, though. So i had no time. But, I think it works out. The hormones I wrote had no effect.</p>

<p>Science = I missed the 12 double chrom. question and that's all I know. I thought it was okay.</p>

<p>Anyway
So, help me predict.</p>

<p>Let's say
-10 on English
-4-5 on Math
-9-10 on Reading
-2-4 on Science</p>

<p>Anyone else hoping the Reading/Sci have a nice curve?!?</p>

2

<p>This is the first time taking the ACT so I must ask-what exactly do all of those numbers mean. Like -10 on English?</p>

3

<p>-10 on english</p>

<p>I mean</p>

<p>75-10=65</p>

<p>65 would be curved to a ___</p>

4

<p>Ah ok, I see.</p>

<p>I’m hoping for some generous curves on the Reading and Science section. A moderate curve on the Math section would be nice as well.</p>

5

<p>if only 30/40 was a 36 on reading :'(</p>

6

<p>cowking15:
If only…</p>

7

<p>Writing and reading have very harsh curves.
I expect that each question -1 would be a point overall. </p>

<p>For math, you can get away with 1-2 before dropping.</p>

<p>Might sound pessimistic I’d reckon 27-29 with those results.</p>

8

<p>naw i would concur if thats for reading at least</p>

9

<p>thequestionmark:
Really? Why do you think the reading curve will be harsh?</p>

<p>(jw, not trying to sound mean)</p>

10

<p>it always is</p>

11

<p>Because it’s always been harsh. I’ll put it this way.</p>

<p>My last act was</p>

<p>35 35 27 33. The one I took before I got a 33 in reading. This seems to suggest that the curve is harsh and it punishes your pretty badly. It’s also harsh because there’s only 40 Q’s.</p>

<p>That said… I’d predict my new scores to be. Just a random guess/hope. </p>

<p>35 36 30 33. = 34 comp (hopefully)</p>

12

<p>when do we get to find out our scores online anyway</p>

13

<p>I’m hoping (irrationally) for -1=36 for Math and -2=35 or 36 for reading. If it is that or +/- 1 for each, I should be good.</p>

14

<p>I hope you’re correct sg12!</p>

15

<p>i’m really hoping for a -1 36 on math =!!</p>

16

<p>@minzeycat</p>

<p>I think they said September 28th.</p>

17

<p>Is it just me or was the first reading passage one of the most confuzing things you’ve ever read on a standardized test? I definately think the reading will be my lowest score, and should hopefully have agenerous curve?</p>

18

<p>can somebody post some real curves from released exams…</p>

<p>“when do we get to find out our scores online anyway” 28th of september at earliest, according to the site…i thought earlier.</p>
