Down_the_Rabbit_Hole Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 My ds took this yesterday and said the whole thing was written, even the math portion. He said the math was hard because it was either to verbally explain how to solve a problem or it was geometry (we opted to do Algebra 2 before Geometry so he hasn't done it yet). The science was mostly Chemistry (he is doing Biology this year). He did feel good about the essay portion and the reading portion. He said that was a very frustrating $25 (gift card) to earn.

mumto2 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Thanks for sharing what the test was like. It sounds like a huge change to the exam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowbeltmom Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Are the ACT folks looking to revamp the entire test? Since the science focused on chemistry, I wonder if the ACT is going to expand and offer tests to compete with the College Board in the Subject Test arena?

Down_the_Rabbit_Hole Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 The only info I got from them for this was they were trying out new questions and wanted students in 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th to participate. Not sure if this is the new way they are heading or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
