September ACT-POST your Predictions and Thoughts!

<p>I thought it was kind of easy actually, though all ACT tests are easy without a time limit. </p>

<p>English-few hard questions which weren't necessarily debatable but had many different ways of thinking it, otherwise I think I got 30-34</p>

<p>Math-Had harder time with some of the easier questions, couple of hard questions, relatively easy. 31-35</p>

<p>Reading-I only had about 6 minutes for the prose left, and might have missed a few in the other sections. Maybe 29-32.</p>

<p>Science-Not as hard, didn't require outside knowledge like June. Might be a harsh curve as usual. 27-31. </p>

<p>What about you guys? How did it go for you all?</p>

<p>i thought it was harder than usual
and i walked in confident
now i dont think im gonna send those scores </p>

<p>no idea what happened</p>

<p>English - super easy. I might have missed one or two. 34 - 35
Math - got stuck on a few questions and did not finish on time. lol 30
Reading - surprisingly easy, though the highway passage was really boring and annoying. 31
Science - easy up until the chemistry experiment. 32</p>

<p>i usually finish math with 20 minutes. this time i didnt eve finish. same with the reading and science...</p>

<p>by far the hardest test i ever took</p>

<p>How long does it take to grade the tests?</p>

<p>They say they will send the scores by mail in 6-8 weeks. Not sure if they put the scores online. Anyhow:</p>

<p>I thought every part of the test was okay except the last part of the science test. With 5 minutes left and that catalyst-substrate experiment staring at me in the face, I think I folded.</p>

<p>I think they start posting results on the 24th? </p>

<p>English: I thought this was fairly easy. Pretty typical.
Math: Some of the earlier questions tripped me up! I didn't get a chance to look at every question, but some of the "hard" questions at the end did not seem that hard.
Reading: I thought it was easier than usual. Nothing too vague.
Science: Anyone who can get through the whole science section while actually understanding the experiments is a god. I could easily do this if I had 15 more minutes. It was ok. Anything with graphs is fine, but when they get into paragraphs eeek.
Writing: Hahahaha. That is a nervous laugh. I kind of freaked out and only ended up with one example. I'm pretty sure I just repeated the same thing over and over for three pages.</p>

<p>best of luck everyone.</p>

<p>I'm hoping I can see my scores by next week though, preferably before Friday.</p>

<p>I've never really felt as confident after taking the ACT. I'm not sure why but the summer of no testing really helped me.</p>

<p>English, Reading, and Science I would say I got a 36 on. I've always been ~35 here but I feel like I pushed it to the limit this time, I didn't struggle with a single question.</p>

<p>Math, eh. It's always been my weakest. I had a decent number of blanks at 5 minutes but went back and checked them and ended up only having 2 that I just had to fill in. I would say around a 30, I'll cross my fingers for higher! The math felt a lot like SAT-math in some places because it seemed more like they were throwing trick questions at you.</p>

<p>Writing- easy. I think my teacher called time too early though :/</p>

<p>I barely finished the math... it was ridiculous
English, Writing, Reading, and Science i annihalated</p>

<p>No one here the science was harder than normal (or at least June's?)? I got a 32 in science on the last June testing, but this test I totally bombed the science.</p>

<p>English: Pretty easy
Math: Like others said, a couple early questions tripped me up and I really didn't get to workout all of the problems
Reading: Really easy
Science: I don't know if it was just me, but I had a lot harder time with that science then I have with any other practice science test.</p>

<p>Praying for 30+ lol</p>

<p>I'm really glad other people thought the math was hard too. LOL I think I got a near perfect score in every section except for math, where I guessed on 2-3 (I usually finish 10 minutes early!)</p>

<p>ahh the math section...I usually finish but I couldn't today. It's comforting to know that I am not the only one who didn't finish lol</p>

<p>btw in the ACT do they base the score range on how difficult a section is??</p>

<p>I Aceddd Ittt, I Know I Did Was Sooooo Easy Woot</p>

<p>Well this is my first post so hey guys!</p>

<p>but I think did really well on the english, math, and reading. I knew all the problems on the math test (except maybe 2) which is alot better than on the practice tests. I really think I got 31+ on those 3 sections. when it came to science tho, I bombed, mainly cuz of time. I was only able to get to 31 of the 40 questions (i'm pretty sure i did good on them) but for the rest just filled B (the last nine..) How much do you guys that will hurt me? no chance of 30? =[</p>

<p>I got 31,32,31 and a 23 Science in June and ended up with a 29.25, just one point away from a 30 since it rounds up from 29.5. You definitely gone some right by putting B for all of them but if you went random then I think you might have a better chance of getting more right, but under time pressure it's hard to think about this stuff. So yeah you can get a 30 still.</p>

<p>lol how does he have a better chance of getting more right if he guessed randomly?
if u guess all 9 with one letter, there are less variables to mess up the probability
iono dude maybe act math is just stuck in my head
i guessed C (or H) for all 3 of my guesses LOL</p>

<p>With 10 questions for instance you could say that 2 or 3 would be B, but if you guessed randomly, you actually have a chance of getting a lot of them since not all of them are B because rarely will you see the same letter used 4-5 times. If you were going for a 34 and unluckily came across 10 questions with only 60 seconds, you might choose randomly instead of knowing you'll get almost 7 questions wrong.</p>

<p>I didnt think it was too bad. that stupid reading about HOT highways was annoying as hell.</p>
