***APRIL 2015 ACT DISCUSSION THREAD***

To all: the ACT certainly can be improved if you aren’t happy with your score. Constant practice up until the test date has improved my score from a 21 on the PLAN to a 34 my first time. I never would have expected the score I got until I started to work with an ACT tutor (and one that I picked on my own terms). I suggest that you get a tutor if you don’t already have one for the next time around.

Also make sure you order the test information release (TIR) as it is invaluable.

Best of luck everyone.

@mithuun15 I believe so. I remember being worried about the status for a while so I just went to bed. It obviously says tested when I check it now but I vaguely remember it changing as the score came up.

@outlooker there’s no levity in the hours leading up to checking an ACT score. Accept it.

@bobertoper1 ok thanks i just really want to see my score cuz if i get a bad score i will be more motivated now rather than later. i tried studying for the june one over the weekend but all i could think about was if i got a 30 on this one or not

@apactstudent I agree 100%. The ACT is a benchmark for colleges to compare one student to another (or one school to another). In some cases, one point can be the deciding factor in your acceptance. That being said, the ACT is a test that you can study for and take multiple times. Likewise, it is not the only deciding factor for your college application (it’s just an important part).

Just chill out everyone. Scores will be out soon, and there’s nothing we can do to change the scores. Being stressed out right now is pointless.

i need my new scoresby April 30 cuz im applying for a summer program that looks at standardized tests and the deadline is April 30. Does anyone know if theres anyway to get them before then if i dont get them at midnight

@mithuun15 Unfortunately no. You can’t call in or mail in to get your test scores. 90% of the time they come back on the deadline though.

You know what’s stressful? 50 pages of APUSH + note taking + questions every night because our teacher is horrible - we are still in the 1950’s…

Currently rationing my time between Physics and studying for the SAT US History. Hopefully this will be a reassuring part of my week.

lol. hi. #onehour

Wait, so we actually have to wait until 1?

Our final chapter test is this Friday in APUSH. I really don’t care what I get on the exam at this point. Nobody knows what the curve is going to be like. On the old exam, the curve was extremely generous, and most got 5s. I really just want a 5 on chemistry

Depends on your timezone. It’s 12 AM central.

@apactstudent SAME! I want a 5 so badly on chemistry. I’m pretty sure I’m going to do quite terribly on APUSH so might as well focus on something I’m decent at!

We’re bonding over ACT score anxiety… lol. Stay strong everyone! Hope for the best. ^-^

@Wannabenerd1
If you are in the east then yes.

For NJ do the scores come out at 12 or 1?? I just checked but there was nothing
