30+ Club

<p>wow, vadox6466.... HOW?!! I have a 30 now, (a junior) but I struggle in Math and science. TELL ME THE SECRETS OF YOUR WAYS!!! ; )
congratulations everyone. Let us toast.</p>

<p>how would one go about getting a 12 on the writing portion of the test?
i am a great writer and still got an 8. grr</p>

<p>HarvardBound- about 90% of the writing grade is based on length of essay. Write fast!</p>

<p>NOO..... <em>gasps</em> are you kidding me???
wow. i had no idea. that's incredibly unfair!
but honestly, how could someone grade you on a scale of 2-12 on your opinion? hmm... thanks though, really. I will get that #2 in the wind! ; )</p>

<p>Yeah, it's really sad that they grade mostly on length. I wrote an epistomologically sound essay, which was full of insight. I used very technical grammar (gerunds, participles, infinitives, appositives, complex/compound complex sentances). This essay was 4 paragraphs in length, and it was during the 12/2007 SAT. I was ****ed that I only got an 8..... </p>

<p>On the ACT, I basically didn't care about my writing score. I made a generic 5 paragraph essay that was only simple and compound sentances. Basically, it sucked a lot. When I received a score of 9, I was dumbfounded. </p>

<p>Basically, write like you've never written before and fill up all 4 pages they give you. You will receive a score of 11 or 12 easily with this method.</p>

<p>34! yay i'm so happy ...
june --> 32
oct --> 33
dec --> 34
i'm on a streak ...</p>

<p>I dont know about the length thing
Mine wasn't very long at all</p>

<p>But all I did was present an idea, and support it with a personal story, or a theory, or whatever. And Somehow got a 12. I was expecting 8-9
My first time i got an 11
then a 10
then a 12
or seomthing like that?</p>

<p>Look at the like... What you did good on your essay or whatever, apparantly thats what they look for

<p>which conversion is best?</p>

<p>the collegeboard one or the princeton review one?</p>

<p>33! woo hooooooooo</p>

<p>33 last time i took it...</p>

<p>this time i felt i did fairly well on the science but then ran out of time and had to guess on the last six questions</p>

<p>31 on science last time. what do you think the chances are i did the same to better?</p>

<p>did any of you others have to guess on that many and still get a good score?</p>

<p>never taken it before, but i did the 3 practice tests from the Real ACT prep book and today's science (i thought) was much harder than the practice tests...
anyone know from experience if the science was harder than normal?</p>
