<p>My score:</p>

<p>32 C (31.5. I was happily surprised. I was thinking I would probably get a 30 or 31 due to math issues.)
33 E (This was upsetting. I had scored 35s and 36s on all of my practice tests, so this confused me. It’s still a good score, but I’d like to major in Journalism at NYU… so…)
28 M (Yeah. This needs work.)
34 R (Surprising! I thought I did well, but English has always been my best score. This really made me happy.)
31 S (I had scored 30-32 on all of my practice tests, and this is pretty much what I was expecting.)
9 Writing (didn’t finish)</p>

<p>Overall, I’m pretty happy with my score. I’m not sure if I’ll take it in February… I know I’ll take it again in April for sure. Do you think the writing score is that important? Is a 9 good or bad? I know I’ve seen some people groping about a ten… I didn’t prepare for the writing at all, just kind of went with it and hoped for the best.</p>

<p>Also, what do you think the English curve was? My subscores were 18 and 16, but obviously, I don’t know how many I got wrong.</p>

243

<p>English curve must have been pretty weird. I had 18/18 but ended up with 35 overall</p>

244

<p>Oh and writing is not very important. If you get an 8 or better, you’re good. But I’m sure you can bump it to a ten in Feb/April</p>

245

<p>Has anybody else still not gotten their writing score? :/</p>

246

<p>Haven’t gotten mine.</p>

247

<p>@karatekid666 Me too. I think that one question wrong in usage/mechanics (or maybe the other one…) still counted as an 18</p>

248

<p>Four wrong in English was a 33</p>

249

<p>This was my first time taking the ACT, and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t study, I just wanted to see what I could get without preparing at all.</p>

<p>C: 31
E: 34
R: 35
S: 30
M: 26 ← Definitely need to work on that. At the time, I hadn’t had a math class since May, so I was a bit rusty there.</p>

<p>Writing I got a 09. Overall I’m happy, but I will definitely be studying hard to try to raise it up a few points.</p>
