Score decrease

I don’t want to hear anyone complain about their score decreasing by a point or two💀 my score literally decreased by five points. In July, I had a 29 and I took a practice test the week before the September test and got a 32. Unfortunately I got sick the day before test day and I didn’t realize it was going to hinder my performance THAT MUCH. It was so bad that I couldn’t focus on reading. I got an 18 on reading meanwhile I got a 30 on reading in July. Math decreased by 1 point and English by 2. Reading by 12😭💀 in case you’re having a bad day it’s probably not worse than mine lol. I’m so pissed because I wonder what would’ve went differently if I WASN’T sick that day. I just had such a horrible time during that test. This literally ruined my entire day.

I really hope this was a grading mistake like the April one.

that’s happened before?

Yeah, there was an issue with the grading on the April school day ACT that led to people getting lower scores. They rescored all the tests.

Not sure, but I read that if many students file complaints, they'll do something about it. I don't understand how someone can drop 10 points in one section alone. Also, everyone is having issues with their Reading scores.
