<p>I took the ACT today and it definitely was NOT the box of chocolates that I thought it was going to be. The math and English was easy but science ad reading tore me a new one. They started the reading with a story that I literally had no clue what they were talking about and the science...it was a hit mess. Soooooo, I was wondering if, when you took the ACT, it was what you were expecting or if you were taken by surprise like me.</p>
<p>What Form Code did you have, out of curiosity? And did you take it today for a special reason (such as rescheduling)?</p>
<p>Err…don’t really remember the form (60 something-or-other) and yes I took it today. My school made it mandatory for all juniors to take it.</p>
<p>As a junior, I took the ACT three times.
Because I had taken ACT practice tests previously, I wasn’t actually as surprised. The weird thing is, the first two times I thought I did really well, but I ended up doing okay, and the third time ended up being the best one, although I thought I did bad. I had to take it at this really bad school where I was literally 2 inches from another student, the classes were small, people were being loud and talking outside the classroom, I was sick, other people were sick and had runny noses, and I couldn’t concentrate. And somehow I got a 30, which was my best score.
It was unpredictable for me…</p>
<p>Wow! That’s great especially under those conditions. Hopefully I’ll get a 30 so I qualify for Bright Futures. It’s crazy to think that we’re both juniors and you taken it three times (this was my first).</p>
<p>I took the ACT like 4 times, my highest composite was a 31. But each test had only 1 of my best scores; so on one I got a 30 in English, on another I got a 33 in Math, in another I got a 34 in reading, and in another I got a 32 in science. For reading if you try to over analyze one passage you will run out of time and get a bad score, in science you just need to do practice tests to improve. I am really bad at English so I didn’t do to well on it.</p>
