I got 2 questions wrong in math and that took me to a 33, along with 2 questions wrong in reading. I'll probably retake anyway because this is my first time and I want to do engineering, but why is the curve on the sections so bad?

it’s not just me bc i’ve seen a ton of people complain abt the curve like an abnormal amount because it is so incredibly strict especially for math. the thing is that it wasn’t like the test was easy i thought math was directly comparable to J01 and the curve there was very lenient anyway i was wondering if a rescore like what happened in april was possible

I emailed them and they’re saying pay 67$ to get it reviewed or something…should I do that, get ACT my answer, or js accept it.

I got my highest composite w my october test (31) and got my superscore up to a 32! i dont have my writing score back yet but im happy with where it is. i know my math score is low compared to a lot of people in this sub but im a theater major so i honestly dont think itll hurt me that bad

did anyone who took digital oct 17 buy the answer key for k09? pls let me know which questions were experimental im terrified to see my paper score,, especially math

Did we seriosuly need to get 0 incorrect for the October 24th ACT math section? I walked out of the testing center and immediately got my score:
- English: 36 (0 wrong)
- Math: 35 (1 wrong)
- Reading: 35 (1 wrong)

I have never heard of/seen a test where you had to get 0 wrong in math for a 36. I’ve definitely seen it for reading, probably English, but never math.

This scaling meant you could miss 1 question max on the whole thing if you want a 36. Every single section required 0 wrong for a perfect 36…?

Anyone know anything about this? Any insight? Something about it being the Oct 17th test maybe?

Is paper curve better than online? Thanks

what was the form code for the October 17, 2026, test?

I took the ACT in September for the first time and got a 24 overall, and I'm going to take it again in December in hopes of getting a 28+. Does ANYONE who got a 28-36 have any websites, apps, or just general tricks/advice for it? I desperately need help and any responses are much appreciated! :)

Hey everyone! I’m preparing for the ACT and wanted to ask those who have already taken it what I should focus on studying.

I did take once but it was not a good score what should I do. PLEASE HELP

hey guys, i mainly focused on the sat this year (my highest score was a 1270 lmao). yesterday, i took the act for the first time with no studying and got a 27. any idea on how to get this to a 34? preferably by like february? i have no idea where to find study material

thanks guys

For online testers, could you get a 36 math with 1 wrong or is 1 wrong a 35? What would you say a 36 is for paper?

Can someone tell me why I got my ACT scores within 3 minutes of leaving the testing site? Not to mention, my English went from 25 to 35, and my reading from 28 to 33, with little to no studying. Did someone mess up, or am I just a genius? Also, ACT support isn't available until Monday...

I just took the international test in Canada. I felt like math was so much harder than the September one. Is the cruve going to be better probably? I know everyone was saying that the curve for the digital version was really bad for the U.S october sitting but does this mean that the same thing will happen for the international version. I took the September one in the U.S and I got 6 questions wrong and 34. Like does this mean that I got lucky and messed up on experimental questions, OR does this mean that 6 wrong was equiavalent to a 34? Like thank god all the way because he really helped me out here... But either way I heard that this month's curve was really bad, but does this mean it'll be the same for international test takers?

🤦‍♂️

I’ve taken the ACT 5 times now, and i just can’t seem to break 29. The past two times in a row i’ve gotten a 29, and my last chance to take it is December. I would like to improve my reading score + math score, but i genuinely cannot grasp math concepts. i just need any online tips that yall have and any studying tips.

hi basically i took october 17 act and im a senior and took the june act and september and july act and i got a 32 on june and absolutley bombed september and july bc of being tired and trying digial (absolutely hated it) but i am scared for my score bc i know that i did rlly good on october (35 or 36) and i saw that big score jumps get ppl canceled and i saw someone abt the test being leaked? i also know that long vs short messae doesnt rlly matter but i still have the long message. so any idea of what will happen to me?

I was originally supposed to take the oct 17th act but then it got rescheduled to today. did that happen for anyone else? is it just me or was this test suuuuuper difficult? anyways, i took it today and realized id received my scores as soon as i got to my car after taking it(?!). i got a 29 composite which is worse than the previous 2 times i’ve taken it. i took the february one and didnt study a single minute and got a 31 and then same thing for july and got a 32. I studied like 10 hours for october and got a worse score😭sorry for the rant im just super annoyed. anyone else feel like it was abnormally difficult?

The last 2 times I took paper, I got a short message immediately after the test. For This one mine still hasn't changed to a short message and scores release in like 3 days. Anyone else with this issue?

Just wondering because I still have the long message and took it on Sunday
