I’m guessing I’ll pull about a 26 on this test, thanks to the generous math curve. I felt pretty confident on the first 30 but the last 30 got progressively harder and then I just had to completely guess on the last 15. Oops. I feel awesome on English but that’s just because English has always been my strong point…and I feel pretty average on reading/math. (73D)
And I just want to address something…
I need at least a 27 to get into the school I want (or at least have a shot). So I definitely feel a little stupid here when people are complaining about getting 35s. I just wanna say, be grateful for the score you got and be proud of yourself that you’re even trying. Lots of people get a score they don’t want and then don’t even take the test a second time and give up their dreams of a certain college or a scholarship. We should all be proud of ourselves no matter what score we get because WE KEEP TRYING. And if you don’t get into your dream school, you’ll be alright. But don’t stop dreaming.
The only section I’m worried about is math. There were two questions at the end of the section that I’m not positive that I did correctly, but I think I figured them both out. Other than that I’m pretty sure I nailed the other three sections. I really enjoyed the ornithology and Star Wars passages in the English section. Unless I made some stupid mistakes over the course of the test, I’m going to predict a 35-36.
Math was definitely the toughest for me, I’m hoping the curve will help me out. Reading and Writing were easy, but then if they were too easy then the curve might be a little harder? Science was fine, and Writing Test was good because the prompt was interesting. I was hoping for 35, now I’m guessing 35 W / 34 R / 35 S / 31 M Gonna be a few points short of the magic 138 total (for 35)
could someone help me predict my score? i thought the english was similar to practice tests, the math was hard for an act test, science and reading were okay. I had maybe 1/2 minutes to spare for both of those sections but I guessed on 1-2 questions on the science passage.
Who else signed up for the October ACT? I wish I planned better for this because I am a senior, and I am not sure if the October one will suffice for college app deadlines.
@maaz97 it will probably be too late. The scores wont be out until November 3rd or 4th at the earliest and then it takes a couple of weeks to send them.
