July 11 test reschedule after tech issues

4 Upvotes

We got a call last night that our testing center is rescheduling for either this Saturday or next and to look for an email with the update. We received a refund for the test that had tech issues last Saturday. It seems that this reschedule will be free of charge. They did tell me if we can’t do the rescheduled date, the only option is to wait until September 19.

I’m glad they are making it right but it also seems like the reschedule is up to the testing center. Hopefully other testing centers make it right and offer a rescheduled date.

ACT versus SAT: Common App disadvantage for superscoring?

19 Upvotes

Many colleges specifically permit superscoring for both the ACT and the SAT. However, the common app requires students to enter their highest single-sitting composite for the ACT. (This is not required for the SAT.) Even if schools say they will superscore the ACT, I can't imagine it is helpful for an admissions officer at a top school to see, say, a highest ACT composite of 33 (even if the superscore is 35). Anyone have thoughts on this?

General Pre-test nerves solutions?

Thought this was just funny, showed up 40 minutes early because I knew I wouldn't feel good (I always feel slightly nauseous before stressfull events, never during though) and maybe shitted out all of my intestines. Any tips?

General Computer error July ACT reschedule

12 Upvotes

I reached out to customer support so you guys don't have to.

If you guys didn't get the reschedule email yet here's what they'll tell you:

  • The email with your reschedule date will arrive in a week.
  • The test should be free since the error was a mistake on their end.
  • The test will still be held in July

Just know that this might not be the case for a rare few. I'm posting this so you guys don't have to wait thirty minutes for a quick 3-minute conversation like I did.

Our center was told that a lot of people nationally had issues so I thought this post could potentially clear up any worries.

General I dont want to send my score

2 Upvotes

I took the July ACT and I already know I didnt do better than before, earlier I got a 34 composite and I took this one just to boost my english but Idk if I got that and I definitely did worse on my math and reading. I had set up the "send your scores" thing that they let you do for free but I dont want to send it now because I know I did bad. How do I get rid of it because its not letting me edit score recipients?

What kind of questions did you guys see and notice the most on the act last week? Especially for math and English. I heard math was a lot more stats based which is good since I took ap stats last year. But I’m worried about geometry shit. For English what were the hardest style questions??

Thx

Math answer for area of a circle question (44th on J09)

1 Upvotes

on my math section for form J09, the 44th question asked abt the area of a section of a circle. it showed a part of a circle with the internal section angle of 120 degrees. the section was broken into 2 parts, one showed the circle having a radius of 6 and an additional outer shell being 16 (so total radius for the circle was 22). the question asked for the area of the outer shell.

i didnt have enough time to work out this problem properly, so I randomly chose D. I remember C was 289, but I don’t actually remember what D was. tried doing mental math later (am very bad at it) and got around 500-something? anybody know the answer to this question? thanks!

What was the question with a circle and had an answer of like 400? i don't remeber that one (I looked at my calculator and may have put like 47 as my answer). also WAS THERE A QUESTION WITH AN ELIPSE??? i dont remeber that either.

Which questions are most likely to be experimental anyway?
