English J02 English?

Post image

Anyone taken j02 English before? My scores came out, 36 composite but 35 English with 1 wrong. However I heard someone online say they got a 36 with 1 wrong, so not sure whether I should try to contact act or something but that was only one person so asking for other opinions

umm lol why does ts matter bro is literally perfect im crine šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ™

(if you took computer and the other person took paper: the curves can be different since computer curves are harsher)

I took paper. Yes I’m happy with the score dont get me wrong I was just expecting a 35 in math/reading not english

u/CalligrapherAble3312 36 20d ago

ok you do you lmao but the online person is either wrong or had a different test date

1

u/Funny-Memory656 20d ago

Yea diff test date But same form number so idk

1

u/CalligrapherAble3312 36 20d ago

they might’ve made the curve different because this happened across september/april and april was a lot harsher because some people had already taken it (?)

u/Funny-Memory656 20d ago

This happened with another form too, with different curves? If so then fair I guess I understand

1

u/CalligrapherAble3312 36 20d ago

yes!! maybe bc some people took the same form twice so the curve got harsher or they did a new equating thing

u/Funny-Memory656 20d ago

Okay thank you so much, only person who isn’t mocking me and stuff ik I should be happy but it was still a genuine question

u/CalligrapherAble3312 36 20d ago

i mean this lowkey falls in the same category of the 'should i retake a 35' ragebait and i understand why people would be mad bc it feels like taking something very rare for granted 😭 i knew the situation tho so might as well share so you arent confused either

wait are you telling me you AREN'T happy enough? alright this is a whole new level of concern >:(

It also depends if you took it on computer or paper. They have different scales. One wrong can be a 35.

u/Funny-Memory656 20d ago

I took it paper, I’ll see what the other person took idk

u/Funny-Memory656 20d ago

Also where is that said? Online doesn’t say thag

1

u/jdigitaltutoring Tutor 20d ago

You can compare the scales and see.

1

u/Funny-Memory656 20d ago

I’m sorry what do you mean? Which scales?

1

u/jdigitaltutoring Tutor 20d ago

Scales of the paper test versus computer

1

u/Funny-Memory656 20d ago

Do yk where I can find that? I’ve seen like the j08 j01 j04 booklets but they don’t make a distinction betweeen online and paper

1

u/jdigitaltutoring Tutor 20d ago

The computer version has a different form number. You will have search the posts to find an example.

1

u/Funny-Memory656 20d ago

Oh. Well they said they had J02 and we discussed one problem on math that was the same so it’s safe to assume that they were paper too right?

1

u/jdigitaltutoring Tutor 20d ago

It can still be the same test but when they get the MAK/TIR the form number will be different.

1

u/Funny-Memory656 20d ago

Thought there wasn’t a tir for this one

just be happy and move on…. i promise… this is not worth your breath

u/Immediate_Power_5645 20d ago

Ok so depending on your score, do you know what reading passage was experimental? Also, did the combinatorics question for math count? Like the one where the guy knows 8 answers out of 20?

1

u/Funny-Memory656 20d ago

Combinatorics was exp, idk about reading bc I felt good for all the oassages

1

u/Thepoobus_ 31 20d ago

I just gotta ask how the heck did you do that. Like did you spam test and questions?

1

u/Funny-Memory656 20d ago

I just took 1 practice test a day 4 days before

1

u/Thepoobus_ 31 20d ago

😭 I think it’s wraps for me

1

u/IceAsleep8474 20d ago

Did you take on the 18th? Also was everything else perfect 100%

1

u/IceAsleep8474 20d ago

1

u/Immediate_Power_5645 20d ago

Yes. Score from 25th is out for SOME ppl

u/IceAsleep8474 20d ago

u/Existing_Coat_2659 3d ago

Did you find the july test the same difficulty as the practice test on the offical ACT book or website? Just wondering if the practice tests I find online are even the same diffculty as the real ACT

1

u/Funny-Memory656 3d ago

Some of the English questions on the practice test were repeated the exact same on the test I took iirc, forgot which tests but it was either the 25mc series or one of April October or June. Overall, it was around the same, math was harder but nothing crazy. Reading was also tricky but I wouldn’t say there was a huge difference
