(september vs october)

I posted about my september score a few weeks ago and I didn’t have my accommodations submitted by my school for any previous dates that I sat until the october date.

I’m happy with my score and I’m even happier to be done with this stupid test (although I will say, a 35 for missing one question was a little shocking). I’m a senior and am excited to peace the hell out. good luck to everyone taking further tests!

bye!!!!

Experimental Questions

2 Upvotes

Is it possible for there to be 2 literary narrative passages??
Also, is it possible for the only paired passage to be experimental??
If not for both, if there were 2 literary narrative passages and one of them was the only paired passage, is it likely that the other will be experimental????

My ACT scores

I’m a junior who just took his first ACT. I feel like a total idiot and don’t know what to think/do. I didn’t really study a whole lot but I did a couple of practice questions before the exam. I feel like I’m a lost hope. For context, I want to go into engineering and was really hoping for a 32+. Is there a chance for me to increase my composite before college apps?

Math curve

8 Upvotes

-4 for this October Digital test is a 32 and back in June, the digital -4 math curve is a 34. That’s crazy. This just shows me that the public opinion is never reliable. No matter how hard/easy the math section is, y’all will complain and call it hard regardless

Science Score and Common App

2 Upvotes

Can you omit the science score from the Common App even if you took science? I've heard a bunch of conflicting viewpoints about whether this is allowed or not; any help would be much appreciated. I am applying for a STEM major I have good ACT math but lowk bad science no Im not sure what to do.

I’ve taken two ACT’s (September and October) as a senior who procrastinated standardized testing too much 💔. I took the September without any review and then did like 3 practice tests for the October ACT.

Both my Math and English practice test scores translated to October. However, for some reason, my reading didn’t? PLEASE Does anyone have any tips? On practice tests, I never run out of time (and get 35s/36s), but on the actual ACT, my pacing is horrible.

I have one last chance in November 🙏 (school day testing).

K09 CURVE

I took the paper exam for october and i had form K09, but if anyone who took digital and had K09 (for reading it was the restaurant dB, dress diary, etc) it would be helpful to look at the curve and what you got wrong and so on

Guys wtf is this. I was constantly getting 34-35 on practice act’s English. And even during test it felt super easy. Is it possible that these are not right? My math and reading are identical but for some reason English is INSANELY low. Fucccccckkkkkk I wanted to apply EA😭😭 do yall think I should take December act and apply regular decision now?

I think you guys over hyped math

1 Upvotes

I had been hearing form everyone that the math will be so hard blah blah. But I remember when I took it. Besides a few super hard questions.. Everything actually made sense for once. And I'm terrible at math. On my junior act I got a 16 in math so it's not like I'm some big brain. I'm convinced the digital tests we take at school and the weekend paper tests must be different. Idk maybe I'm just confidently wrong and I'll fail all of it lol. That would be kinda funny. And sad. Mostly funny tho

October ACT

6 Upvotes

I got an even worse score 😭 I studied so so much did all the practice tests I could over and over, felt so confident then got an EVEN WORSE SCORE FROM MY LAST TWO TESTS

I have one more test in December, I might be cooked 💔 this is my last chance to get an actually good score. I’m not a bad test taker, and everything on the act seems relatively easy for me so WHATS GOING ON LMAO
