<p>Just a place to discuss predicted scores and etc. How do you think you did?</p>
<p>-English and reading: were so easy which was unexpected.
-Math:was challenging especially the last 20 questions.
-Science: straight forward, I had 6 minutes left to check my answers.
- I did horrible on the writing prompt though…</p>
<p>English: Finished w/ time to spare, pretty easy.
Math: Flew through first 40 questions and finished them 25 minutes in then hit the brick wall and ended up had to rush on last 2 ?'s
Reading: Time Crunch big time answered all but at the buzzer
Science: May have gotten a 36</p>
<p>English- Flew through it as well. I’ll be very surprised if I get anything less then a 33.
Math- Pretty straightforward for the first half. The second half definitely tripped me up a bit.
Reading- Not too bad. Easier than math but not quite as easy as English.
Science- Pretty difficult at least for me. Science is definitely not my thing though.
Essay- Awful prompt but I think I managed it okay.</p>
<p>Everything was great, except for the last quarter of the math questions. Guessed on a few. Also, science.
I had done lots of science practice tests beforehand and practiced all of the techniques (“read question first,” “don’t get distracted by terminology,” etc) and tried using them today as well but I just felt like I had a huge mental block on science. I think I guessed on around 10.</p>
<p>Also, I took it at a college. RIGHT OUTSIDE of our room, there was a giant concert going on, with loud dubstep music (ugh) that I could clearly hear while taking the test. Sucks.</p>
<p>To be honest the only test that felt easy was English. Math started easy but there were at least 8 questions that had material I’d never seen in my life. Science was really hard for me and I ran out of time. Reading was easy but I also ran out of time. The writing always baffles me. It’s like the prompt is so simple that it’s actually really hard to respond to. I think they should do a better job with that in the future. </p>
<p>As for potential scores… I’m not sure. The first time I ever took the act (the very beginning of the summer after my Sophomore year), I thought I did so badly that I honestly thought I was going to get a 13-16. But I ended up with a 24. </p>
<p>So I guess that means that I have no clue whatsoever what my score will be. I’m glad that the scores get put online sooner than the mail. I think the scores could possibly be posted online as soon as April 29… so I’m going to check then and pray to God that I get a 28-34. </p>
<p>What do you guys think?</p>
<p>@prestico23: You and I seem to feel the same way about today’s test!</p>
<p>English - ezpz 33 minimum
Reading - ezpz excluding that really ambiguous question for the string theory passage 31 minimum
Math - Pretty challenging towards the end. 30 range predicted
Science - eh, had to guess on the last 2 and on one of the 2nd to last passages. Generally challenging for me – minimum 26; maximum 30</p>
<p>Overall predicted composite score: 30-31</p>
<p>English- At least 33
Math- At least 33
Reading- At least 29
Science- Oh My God 25-28
Predicted: 30-31</p>
<p>I feel that if I were to hammer science and practice, practice, practice, then it wouldn’t help very much. The reason for this is that everyone says to not read the blurbs (except Arguing Scientists) unless it specifically asks for a question that requires you to quickly find it within the blurb, well sometimes this is great and sometimes it isn’t. If I can understand what the charts and graphs are giving me, then I can do great; however, if I am given charts and graphs that look like they are in Chinese (I can’t understand them), I don’t do well. Should I read the blurbs to better understand what is given to me within the charts and graphs? </p>
<p>Also, do you guys remember that question on English that was testing than vs. then. It had something to do with that guy that wrote books on politics or something. It had four choices that not one sounded even remotely correct. I picked the one that had than, because I assumed he was trying to compare something to a leader. I don’t know. Could someone explain this question if you remember it.</p>
<p>@muhnickuhhh</p>
<p>The answer to that question was “then”</p>
<p>…then dictator (whatever his name was)…</p>
<p>It shows that he was leader during that time period or event and shows he is no longer the leader.</p>
<p>Example:
Following Pearl Harbour, then president Franklin Roosevelt urged congress to declare war.</p>
<p>I hope this helped.</p>
<p>There was a question in the last passage of the English section that I was unsure of. The writer was discussing her experience with photography as a child, and she was introducing a list that was a few sentences long. It was something like “My parents taught me all of the basic rules of photography, such as: use…”. Everything from such as to use was underlined. I was pretty sure that if you are introducing a list that is multiple sentences long, you’re supposed to capitalize the the letter that comes right after the colon. Can someone confirm that this is right?</p>
