Comment on ACT score conversion charts by Chad

The reason the tables change from year to year is that the ACT is standardized. This means that a 36 does not entail getting a certain number of questions correct necessarily, but it means being in the 99% in terms of the rest of the test-takers. For example, in 2008, the science section might have been a bit more challenging than it was in 2007, and thus people missed more questions. This would result in you being able to miss more questions in 2008 on this section, and still get a high score. So missing 4 in 2007 might have been a 31, but in 2008, its a 32. The whole scoring system is based on comparing your success to everyone elses. Leave it to the ACT to encourage fellow test-taker camaraderie.

Wow! That was good! Such sound advice – and that too, just when I need it the most. I’m a junior in high school and am planning to take my SAT Prep soon. So your advice will definitely come in handy! I did a lot research on the Internet for some good online study guidelines and found Shmoop to be the best as it had a whole lot of strategies and techniques that help you score high on the SAT. If you’re planning on taking the SAT a visit to Shmoop would be just what you’d been looking for!

I agree, repetition is the key to memorization. Repetition in many forms works. Whether it’s writing something over and over, or verbal repetition.

This is such a cool contest! I’ve told a bunch of my younger friends about this and they are totally going to enter. Their parents love the idea too because SAT prep is usually so expensive.
