Anyone else taking this on the June date?

Anyone take it last month?
 
Took it last year. Not as hard as I thought it would be. Reading comp and English were child's play... science was difficult, math was kind of hard... the writing test was somewhere in the middle. It's not THAT hard, but the time limit is brutal.

Yeah, I'm studying for it right now, but the English stuff is so elementary for me it is starting to piss me off.

Science seems like all logic and chart/table-reading to me, but it may be the time limit that is the problem.

I should be studying for math, really.

Yeah, I know. The English tests were really easy.

Yup. It's the time limit that makes it difficult... 35 minutes is NOT enough for the science test, let's leave it at that...

I got a 28, btw. Would've gotten a better score if I studied more for math, but meh.

Lies. Science was a cakewalk. All you had to do was read graphs. Got all those questions right.

The math was where I ran out of time. I guess like half of those.

Wow, really? Guess I was just really burned out. I didn't have to guess any for math, but by science I kinda lost it and read half the questions, guessed the other half. : (
 
I got a 33 on this, I just found out: 35 English, 28 math, 34 reading, 34 science. Writing is still being evaluated, however. I think I might retake this, after studying math some more.

Oooh, nice. That's like 98 percentile, isn't it? Awesome job. I think I may retake it, but then again, I may not. What I've got is probably enough to get me into the U of M...
 
It seems math is not TBT's strong point. My report card for the last quarter of the school year was all A's except a B in math...

Uhh, speak for yourself. D: Math is probably my strongest subject, but that wasn't reflected on the ACT, sadly.
 
I need to take it again soon.

Science and reading are by far the easiest. The only thing hard with the math is the time limit. Or that's what I think anyway. I think I got a 31 when I took it...

Ah. Well that's what I get for assuming things.

I finished science and reading literally as they announced time was over.
 
I'm guessing the ACT is what we call here College Board.. or something like that..

If so then I took it June 14.. still waiting for results.
