<p>Composite: 33
This is actually the first time I have been proud of myself about my standardized test scores. The math score kind of stung, but my reading made up for it.</p>
<p>There must be a lot of really smart kids on this forum. Considering the national ACT average is around a 21, everyone here is testing remarkably well. Almost every score reported is over 30 with many 34, 35 and 36. Even the ones that were under 30 are still above average. Maybe only the smart ones hang out here.</p>

<p>Ambivalent about 34 due to that quarter point difference from 35 :P. By the way, was a 35 in reading possible because I got 18/17 subscores and a 34 R score so I’m thinking that I might have just missed one. Anyone get a 35 in R?</p>

<p>Honestly, the best way to approach the science and reading sections are to use the method that best suits you whether it be skimming for information or reading the passages and charts thoroughly before answering the questions. Both are proven to get a 36 it really just depends on you. I personally suggest doing the reading section by reading the passage carefully and thoughtfully within 3 minutes and answering the questions in 5 minutes. At the end you would technically have 3 minutes left so you have leeway on a harder passage. If it helps underline key facts so you stay focused or write in the margins if you have to. If you can’t concentrate on a passage try chewing gum as that is something I frequently do.</p>
<p>For the science I suggest doing all the 5 question passages in 4 minutes and the 6 question passages in 5 minutes giving you 8 minutes for the conflicting scientists passages which requires time to read and answer the 7 questions. For the 5 question problems which are based heavily on graphs quickly read the blurbs and answer the questions carefully but quickly. 6 question variants are the experimental so I would skim through the experiment set up so you know what is going on in the labs. The conflicting passage should be approached by reading each view point one at a time and noting differences and similarities. It also helps to write how many questions relate to one, two, both (more if there are more than two vps) and answer the ones that relate to one passage the most if possible.</p>
<p>All basic stuff so the biggest thing is practice! Good luck :).</p>

I honestly don’t know what happened with reading. It is by far the worst score I have ever gotten on a reading section.</p>

<p>Definitely upset especially about Math… I usually got 35’s.</p>
<p>My D still didn’t receive her scores. Is anyone else having this issue?</p>
<p>My D is also still registered with no scores yellowgranite. I called ACT and they claim only the first batch was released and was estimated to be about 30% of test takers. I’m not sure if that is accurate based on the number of people posting scores, but of course there are many that took it that don’t post on CC. I guess we just have to be patient, but it is frustrating.</p>
<p>It sure is casper604. She wanted to stay up until 1:00 a.m. the morning that the test results were going to be released. I’m glad I talked her out of it! I am in FL … where are you from? Maybe it’s a regional thing.</p>
<p>We are in CT and my D did stay up! Is your D still just registered?</p>
<p>casper604, my daughter is still listed as registered. I know it’s not her because her friends at her school also did not get their scores yet. On the ACT website it says that after the initial release of scores yesterday, they will be released on Wednesdays and Fridays. Guess we will have to cross our fingers and check back tomorrow. Doesn’t seem to be a regional thing as you are in CT. I grew up in Glastonbury.</p>
<p>still registered, i guess they don’t publish scores tomorrow, holiday…</p>
<p>You’re a ******. Be considerate.</p>

<p>I always do way worse on reading.</p>
<p>@ACT36warlord, you’re a tool. I got a 36 and I thought science was hard as hell. So, no, it’s not about attitude.</p>

<p>Your scores were very similar to my son’s first attempt. Keep trying and you will raise that reading score. My son went from a 22 to a 29 in reading. That help him get a 33 composite. For him it was about timing. He worked on better time management.</p>

I can’t figure out how many I missed. Does anyone know the curve?</p>
<p>I’d guess you missed 0 in English, 3 in math, 0 in reading, and 3 in science from what I’ve seen in other threads.</p>

<p>Hello everyone, just got my scores - I totally bombed M and Science, any ideas how to raise them?</p>
