True. I think the hardest part was to ignore the types of measurements, and just use the logic of the numbers.

It's only hard based on time constrictions since they give you less than a minute per question so you really have to tackle the questions before you actually read whats going on in the graphs LOL. Other than that I found what it asked extremely easy. Question though... I didn't need to take the ACT's, just took them to see if i could do well, so if I don't have them send the scores anywhere, can I get the scores sent without taking them again once i get the scores?

The science part isn't hard-- just really really ridiculously long. If you get caught in reading the questions, you're screwed.

I checked my June ACT score report, and the only thing I can tell you was that:

English: -1 = 35

Math: -4 = 33

Reading: -0 = 36

Science: -5 = 32

^^You have a 34 composite score. Why the hell did you retake it again?

Yeah, I took it without writing before, or I'd be done with this inane crap.

I'm just hoping to maintain my 34 with an essay... what a stupid rule.

I was a lowly sophomore, expecting maybe a 29-30, assuming I would definitely be retaking it anyway, so I decided not to take the writing because I found it annoying and would rather not be bothered. But surprise, I got a 34, and it doesn't count anywhere but Georgetown.

Did you expect the 29-30 after you took the test or before
