<p>Do you think its possible? I was sure I would get 33 on October's ACT,(I projected to get 36 in reading because I had time to check every answer and found them in the passage) but I and end up 4 point lower. </p>
<p>I'm a national merit scholar and captain of my school's Math Team. I have a 4.2 GPA. I take at least 3 AP class every year and this has been an utter disappointment.</p>
<p>I had beefy relationship with the test adminstator and he's totally caple of going back to the text after everyone left, and change my answer.</p>
<p>Yes, many people will think I'm dumb for even think something like that could happen. I just need clarification on the scoring and shipping process so I can have a good night of sleep.</p>
<p>Haha its okay I understand you feel that way because you are so stressed out…Im not sure… honestly I dont think he did BUT if you truly feel that way I guess it could have happened</p>
<p>Arrogant people get what they deserve, sorry. A 29 is good, maybe next time you’ll get that score you want. Or maybe you overthink your skill set.</p>
<p>I would recommend that you put on your additional information section that you only got a 29 on Reading because your test proctor went back and secretly changed your score. That seems like the best solution.</p>
<p>Did you get four points lower on the reading section or on your composite? Either way, I’m betting he didn’t change your score…and I know that you are trying to convey how smart you are and how your score is beneath you…but just reading your post has made me seriously doubt your supposed intellect</p>
<p>Was this the last ACT (I think October)? The reason I ask is that my daughter took that test (her third ACT!) and was sure that she had made the elusive 28 composite necessary for Bright Futures in Florida (and really the minimum needed to have a shot at UF). She finished the reading section and thought she knew the answers and she thought the English section was “trivial.” However, when she got her score back, she had a composite of 26 (and a reading score of 26), which was the same score she had gotten last spring (when she thought the test was much tougher). </p>
<p>My guess is that there were some tricky questions on the test that trapped my daughter into making the wrong answers-- maybe that is what happened to you too? Only a re-take will tell.</p>
<p>At any rate, my daughter would kill for your 29!</p>
<p>Usually the reading+science sections trip my score up, but for some reason, they saved my score this time. English+Math were easier to most people apparently, but I scored 4-5 pts below my average on both, whereas I was 4-5 pts above my avg on reading+science. Idk… lol</p>
<p>Ok maybe I was too arrogant last time, I got a 32 this time.
And regarding to the poster who said my grammar is subpar. That may be true. I’m from Poland and didn’t English til I was 11. It’s still my weakest subject in school. Even though I got 32 on Reading and 31 on English this time.</p>
<p>How many times did you take the test? The one you think to have problem is the score much lower than other tests. If the answer is not, the chance is unlikely.</p>
<p>The OP got a 32 so no one should be sympathizing with him. A 32 is a decently good score and the OP should be working on improving the score rather than brooding about whether the proctor had deviously altered his/her answers.</p>
<p>I mean I predicted my scores to be lower than what I actually received (i.e. my situation was a pleasant surprise rather than an awful surprise, but still). Things happen when you test that you don’t expect.</p>
