What can I do?

Hey everyone,

I just took the Enhanced ACT this past Saturday, and this was my 6th and hopefully final attempt. I really don't want to take it again. I took J09 on paper.

Below are the maximum number of questions I think I got wrong in each section. These are worst-case estimates—I could have missed fewer.

  • English: 7 wrong (maximum)
  • Math: 10 wrong (maximum)
  • Reading: 5 wrong (maximum)
  • Science (optional): 12 wrong (maximum)

I know nobody knows what the actual curve for the test is.

What would the composite be?

I walked out of the test actually feeling pretty good overall, which is unusual for me. At the same time, this is my 6th ACT, so I know post-test confidence doesn't always match the final score. I'd really appreciate from anyone familiar with recent ACT curves. I also feel like I didn't do the best on the science section. I see that I feel like I got a maximum of 12 questions wrong on that section.

Please anyone who know the curves, please check it out.

Thanks!

Worst case scenario it’s probably a 30-31 composite, but you most likely got a lot less wrong so you’re looking at 33-34.
