Did everyone have the experimental science section because I didn’t have one…
@Anonymous261 I think it was for people who didn’t take writing
@Anonymous261 I had an experimental math section. FWIW, I didn’t take the writing exam.
Hey everyone, I am new to this thread and just finished my first attempt at the ACT today. I am a little nervous. This is how the sections went for me:
English: Confident on my answers but didn’t answer 2
Math: Confident on my answers but didn’t finish 3
Reading: Iffy, but I finished.
Science: Good, but guessed on 3
English: Scored a 34 on my last practice test but the last passage had some tricky questions
Math: One of the easiest math sections I’ve ever took, just a couple I was unsure of
Reading: I usually do the Passage A/B last and the last passage I spent way too time on so I didn’t fully get to read Passage B :(.The practice tests I’ve taken earlier I was always able to read all the passages on time and finish the questions with a few minutes to spare… nerves got the best of me.
Science: Felt like a breeze compared to April!
The people in my room who were taking writing had to do an experimental section. (I don’t know what kind it was because I didn’t do the essay.)
I heard rumors that you can get the test scores back in 3 days? I just took it this morning and was wondering if that was the case? For those who plan to take it in September 2016, what kind of practice do you plan on doing during the summer? Thanks!
@1999HighSchooler That isn’t true. Scores will start being released on the 21st which is 10 days after the test. I’m not sure what prep I’ll be doing, it depends on the scores I get back from this test.
Here’s a curve prediction for yesterday’s test created by passionate Reddit users 
MODERATOR’S NOTE: Deleted link; not allowed.
Well, what is everyone on here thinking the curve with be?
I’m thinking this:
English: -0 = 36; -1,-2 = 35; -3, -4 = 34; -5 = 33 and so on from there.
Math: -0 = 36; -1 = 35; -2,-3 = 34; -4 = 33 and so on
Reading: -0 = 36; -1,-2 = 35; -3 = 34; -4 = 33; -5 = 31
Science: -0 = 36; -1 =34; -2 = 33; -3 = 32; -4 = 31; -5, -6 =30
I don’t think I’ve done a recent practice test that has -1 = 36 on Reading, but I wish that would happen this time.
@jwn9917 Same… really hoping for a nice curve on reading, don’t mind the other sections
First post! Anyway, here’s my take on the June ACT.
English: Not too awful, not great. I finished with about 2 minutes left and went back to the questions I was uncertain of, which was about 5. I got a 34 last time around, really hoping I get somewhere around there. I’m gonna guess a 33.
Math: Pretty bad for me. Glad you guys thought it was easy, but I forgot much of Geometry by now. I think I guessed pretty well though, so I’m gonna guess 31.
Reading: Very easy. Dual passage section was easy. Finished the earliest I ever had on the reading section. I didn’t guess on any question, and I think I found every question in the text, which is good. I’m gonna guess a 35.
Science: Again, very easy. Science has always been my worst by a long shot, so I’m hoping the trend ends now. I finished early, and again, found every question on the graphs and such, except the small handful of questions that you actually had to know some basic science, but I think I got those right. I’m gonna guess another 35.
Writing: Meh, I couldn’t care less about this section. I have no reason to believe this, but I don’t think colleges really critique the writing score, at least no where near as much as they do any other score. I’m not even gonna guess a score because it’s such a crapshoot. Prompt wasn’t too bad and I did come up with three strong examples.
Really praying for a 34 on this one, hoping this is the last standardized test I take! Also really hope everyone gets the score they want! Good luck everybody, only a little over a week till we find out now!
So, I checked, and the form many internationals got was one used in the US in March 2014 ^^
As far as the June test went, i have to say it felt pretty good. Idk if thats a good sign or a bad sign?!?! I took the my first act test earlier in the year and got a 31(E-34, R-33, M&S-28), so i didnt really think much about retaking it for a while, and because of some of the busyness of school and baseball, i had very little time to study. So, i had pretty low expectations. Looking at the june test, i think that math and science, my two previous worst parts, felt really easy, but the english and reading felt a little harder to me, although it didn’t feel too overwhelming, as i finished in time on all sections. Has anyone else felt really good about their test? Is that a good sign, or not?
Hey guys, I’m pretty sure the February 2015 ACT was the same test as the one we took. Curve on the Feb. test was slightly harsh (-1 is 34 on both science and reading)
@mpurd18 yikes… how’d you find that out?
The English was about average (If not, a tad more difficult).
The reading did not have anything difficult. I was able to finish just on the nick of time, but i feel confident in my answers.
The math was less difficult than any of the practice tests I’ve taken. I breezed through the first 55 and slowed down a bit toward the end. I guessed on 3 or so.
The science had very simple passages. I didn’t find any of them tricky. However, I did run short on time nearing toward the end. So I did have to rush through the last couple of questions.
Overall, I felt like I did really great. But considering nearly everyone feels the same, I am preparing myself for a really harsh scale.
Nevermind, I believe @mpurd18 is correct, Saturday’s test was the same as the February 2015 test. And as mentioned, it seems the curve is especially harsh for science and reading, getting 1 wrong results in a 34.
@deeeznuts If you look at the Feb 2015 discussion the kids talk about some of the questions and one talked about having form 72F. As they discussed their scores they said they only missed one and got a 34 (science/reading)
@mpurd18 Yea you’re right, I saw a reddit discussion proving it too :((
