<p>I took the ACT in 7th grade as part of the Duke TIP program, and I contacted an administrator to mail me my scores as I do not recall seeing them in the past. These numbers mean nothing to me at the moment, because I have nothing to compare them to. Could anyone please explain them? Here are my scores exactly as it's printed on the paper:</p>
<p>COMP - 0
ENG - 12
MATH - 14
READ - 13
SCIENCE - 0</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>I took it in the 7th grade as well [same program]. Those are really low scores…are you leaving any information out?</p>
<p>No, that’s all it says on the paper. I remember thinking this was hell and I didn’t know anything. Lol, thanks for letting me know though.</p>
<p>Are you absolutely sure that you got a 0 composite??? According to the Duke TIP pamphlet, those scores put you into this percentile:</p>
<p>Composite Score: 0 Percentile: <1
English Score: 12 Percentile: 11
Math Score: 14 Percentile: 2
Reading Score: 13 Percentile: 10
Science Score: 0 Percentile: <1</p>
<p>Are you absolutely sure about these scores? This is basically telling you that less than 1 percent of test takers scored at or below you.</p>
<p>Either that, or I’m blind! I read it right. I made straight A’s in middle school and 4 semester B’s in 9th grade (last year - Spanish both semesters, Biology, and Debate) so it’s not like I’m stupid lol. It is possible I did horribly…</p>
<p>lol 10char</p>
<p>@BlueDevil18: Perhaps you had a really bad day/the scanner couldn’t pick up ~70 percent of your answers.</p>
<p>still, how could the comp be 0?</p>
<p>If you omit one whole section (science) then your comp. is 0.</p>
<p>quote from ACT: “NOTE: If you left a test completely blank and marked no items, do not list a scale score for that test. If any test was completely blank, do not calculate a Composite score.”</p>
<p>Just stick with the freakin SAT XD</p>
<p>JK. I think ACT is about speed and SAT is about thinking…?</p>
<p>^ Pretty much.</p>
<p>ACT=speed and high school stuffs
SAT=critical thinking</p>
