English - i thought was pretty easy
------
Math - i ****ed myself over with time...i would stay on a problem for a long time then reluctantly skip it hoping there would be time leftover after i finished the section. I don't know if its just me but it seemed like in previous ACT(april 12) they would put easy problems first and the hard ones toward the end. It seemed to me that they put the time consuming problems in the middle of the test to screw people over.....(or maybe i just suck :[)
------
Reading - i have the 4th passage curse or something...everytime im on the last problem of the 3rd passage i hear the 5 min call.....
------
Science - my weakness because of time, but at least i wasnt raped as hard as the early April ACT science section
------
Writing Prompt
eh...i thought this was harder to ramble about than previous prompts

So basically time screws me over




What the hell did you guys put for the last problem

English - okay for the most part. was a little lost with the first two passages =/

Math - really really really hard. and i'm a math person. didn't do 51 nor 60

Reading - only read the first passage. eh, it was still easy though

Science - better than Febs. but the last one got me >.<

i'm getting the feeling i will get the same score (31).

I thought math was easier than on April 12....

Reading was okay. English was simple. Science was still tough but a bit better than April 12 I thought.

Everything seemed easier to me except math, which was definately more difficult. The only thing is .. I have a lot of smudges from changing answers on my sheet. Is the score reader picky or not too bad? Does anyone know?

Math was harder, no question. Everything else seemed pretty average, though I thought the essay was slightly ridiculous.
