@wisteria100 -2 math was 35
Yes, you’re right. Sorry about the typo
So from this curve, you’re saying it was not possible for someone to get a 32 in science? Weird how that works if true.
I heard there’s a specific method of receiving your scores earlier when your test status changes to “tested”
Correct. According to the scale on the test I got back, there was no 32 for science in April
@wisteria100 I got a 35 on the English with -1 for April

Wow, you could miss 7 (E/M:35, R/S:36) and get a 36.
Hello everyone, i’m new here. I got a 29 Composite with a tiny bit of studying on February and April ACTs. I’m hoping for at least a 32 this time. I studied very hard. I’m guessing I missed 3 on English (34), 8 on math (31), 3 on Reading (34), and 5 on Science (31). A 33 composite hopefully!
My son thinks English was hard. He didn’t have time to finish it. The rest were easy. He is a rising junior/senior. He got 28 at 8th grade.
@ALananhR That’s possible. Did you omit any questions?
Scoring is actually based on the number of questions that you answered correctly. Any omissions should also be counted as incorrect answers because they don’t count toward the number of questions that you answered correctly. To get a 36 for English in April, you had to answer at least 74 out of 75 questions correctly. You could have received a 35 if you answered one question incorrectly and also omitted one or two questions because you only answered 72 or 73 questions correctly.
I really can’t think of any other explanation unless you took a different test for some reason or simply miscounted.
@Gallium To the best of my memory, I did not omit any question. On my score sheet, I got a 18 and a 17 and I may be reading that wrong, but I was under the impression that -1 was a 17, -2 a 16 and so on.
No that’s not the way it works. The sub scores are just there to tell you how you did on each aspect of the different tests.
@ALananhR @ArmandoB Yes Armando is correct. A 17 subscore doesn’t correlate to -1 question. The subscores are completely different. You must have actually missed 2 or 3 questions.
For anyone who has taken the ACT more than once during this school year- how did this ACT compare in terms of difficulty to past months?
i took the april test and i honestly thought the june act was much better. i think reading was harder though
@vanilla25 what did you think of the Math on this ACT?
@sgallagher13 the math on the june act was easier in my opinion. in april there were lots of questions that took up alot of time (i ran out of time) but on this one i finished just on time
The April one didn’t have any extremely difficult math questions but it had an unusually large number of difficult questions(not extremely difficult ones, just difficult) so it was more difficult to finish. The one we just took had 2 math questions that I would consider extremely difficult.
