ACT composite question - what if I hadn't gotten sick?

Test Preparation ACT Preparation

<p>I took the ACT for the first time in June and finally just received my scores. I got a 33 in English, a 31 in Reading and a 24 in math.</p>

<p>I got extremely sick at the beginning of the Science section, so sick I had to leave and could only complete maybe 4 - 6 questions on the Science section. So I got a score of 6 on that section.</p>

<p>Sooo, my composite was 24. Ouch. These scores did not go anywhere, not my highschool, not colleges...so they will never see the light of day.</p>

<p>If I retake in October, and assuming I score about the same in the English, Reading and Math...assuming I get a reasonable score in Science...say a 25...</p>

<p>What might my composite end up being?</p>

<p>I am wondering if it is worth retaking.</p>

<p>@ 28</p>

<p>You add the subscores together and divide by 4.</p>

<p>Yes you should retake.</p>

<p>Is expecting a 25 in science reasonable? It is the hardest for most people. And math scores and science scores tend to correspond.</p>

<p>But yes you should definitely retake it. Good luck with your test though.</p>

<p>Gosh, I don't know if a 25 is reasonable for me. Thanks for offering your sarcasm, though!</p>

<p>I was pretty sick for the whole test, it just sort of came to a head at that point. So, who knows what I am capable of.</p>
