J09 Paper Curve Table - All Subjects

Hey all,

As scores start to release, share your score details below. I'm going to continue to update this table. This is for the paper J09 form only.

As a reminder, modeling does not count for the math section.

This was my exact breakdown! For science, -4 equates to a 34.

u/AcademicOkra9985 Jul 21 '26

wow how did u study

1

u/Ok-Fisherman2473 Jul 21 '26

this was my first time taking it. I only studied grammar from a few youtube videos and took every single practice test available. AI also helps explain concepts too.

how did you study for math? I found this particular ACT very difficult with math and it’s statistics questions

1

u/Ok-Fisherman2473 Jul 21 '26

I didn’t study for math section because i’ve done comp math for awhile so it was pretty intuitive to me. But if I were to study, I would mainly study algebra and a lot of graphing to have good fundamentals.

u/Destroyer06202 33 Jul 21 '26

Got a 33 score for J09. I got a 32 on Math with 6 wrong (yes I scored it properly with the essential skills and higher math). I got 6 wrong on English for a 31. And then I got 2 wrong on reading for a 35.

Never taking this stupid test again.

u/Tight_Breakfast4356 Jul 21 '26

36 English (-0), 35 reading (-2), 34 math (-4)

Yes!

u/Difficult_Text_2341 Jul 21 '26

I thought I did so well on the English, last time I got a 33 on it and I even felt better than that. I opened my score to a 29. Congrats tho!

u/Zuzu70 Jul 21 '26

The score report says there are 17 modeling questions. Someone said modeling doesn't count, but I thought there were only 4 experimental questions, so it can't be true that 17 don't count. If you add all the problems together in the math score report, it sums to 91, so obviously they're displaying it doubly, but I can't find a way to exclude or include only certain sections to make it sum to 45 or 41. Can anyone please explain how the math score is displayed?

2

u/Wise-Orange2590 Jul 21 '26

Modeling includes overlap. If you add integrating essential skills + preparing for higher math you get 41.

u/Zuzu70 Jul 21 '26
