December 2014 ACT Discussion Thread

<p>wow. a 9? given that I talked about miley cyrus in my essay, i’m surprised I didn’t get a score lower than a 6. </p>

<p>CURVE ESTIMATIONS:
Reading:
-1 = 36
-2 = 35
-3 = 34
-4 = 33
-6 = 32
Math:
-1 = 36
-3 = 35
-4 = 34
-5 = 33
-6 = 32
English:
-0 = 36
-1 = 34
-2 = 33
-3 = 32
Science:
-2 = 36
-3 = 35
-4 = 34
-5 = 33
-6 = 32</p>

<p>@1golfer1 I got -2 on math (fml fml fml fml) and ended up with a 35 so your predicted curve might be a bit wonky. Also what’s with the super harsh English curve? Surely someone out there got a 35 on english</p>

<p>Seriously hoping that Science curve is accurate!</p>

<p>@joowonie haha I used Lady Gaga, Beyonce, and Katy Perry as some quick examples in one of my paragraphs. I opted for pop stars that the readers have heard of. Didn’t think they would’ve heard of Miley outside of Hannah Montana LOL.</p>

<p>@CaptJack I got a 35 on English, and I believe I got one question wrong.</p>

<p>@CaptJack My curve chart predicts -2 to be a 35 for math. (-0 & -1 = 36; -2 & -3 = 35)
The Reading curve is very harsh. I checked with other people to see what their scores were and how many questions they thought they got wrong. For me, this was:
E) -3 = 34 (I think I screwed something up on the Scantron sheet, sub scores were 17 & 16)
M) -0 = 36
R) -0 = 36
S) -3(?) = 35 (I don’t know how this one happened, I thought I was getting a 20 here)
I ordered the TIR so I’ll know the exact mistakes I made in a few months (when I have forgotten about the ACT). I might order the rescore service because my composite is 35.25. As long as my essay scores a 10 and up I will definitely not be taking the ACT again.</p>

<p>Just noticed that I misplaced the English / Reading labels…</p>

<p>My D got a 35 on English - and the two subscores are 18 and 18 so I don’t really get it. Did she get something wrong or didn’t she?</p>

<p>I got a 34E and had a 17,17 subscore. Maybe -2, -3 is 34 for English. I thought I got 3 wrong on reading and I got a 33</p>

<p>Gosh I couldn’t open the login page</p>

<p>@ReadyToRoll really? If she didn’t get something wrong, don’t you think she would’ve gotten a 36?</p>

<p>Got my writing!!!</p>

<p>12!!! HOLY CRAP</p>

<p>36 E/W this is amazing I don’t even feel bad about my 35 C anymore!!!</p>

<p>ACT login page down for everybody else too?</p>

<p>Yes im flippin out I just want to see if my studying paid off!</p>

<p>same for me</p>

<p>Meanwhile I am waiting for Composite score…</p>

<p>I’m waiting for my composite too… last time I checked yesterday i was still registered… Ugh guys when scores are released does ACT send you an email? This information would be really helpful thanks</p>

<p>I think they only send you an email when the whole score report is ready. Scores releases are not notified through emails. Or at least that’s what happened to me. @Kinngofkinngs‌ </p>

<p>Thanks hlam96! GUYS scores are out for me! After the maintenance I got them!
Composite:31
English:31
Math:35
Reading:29 (No surprise here I was expecting this)
Science:29 (Okay I definitely thought I would get atleast a BIT more… but hell, it’s alright)</p>

<p>Guys is this a good score for places like UMich, Gatech and stuff?</p>

<p>haha still no scores for me @@</p>
