I got my score! I have a question -
I’ve taken the ACT twice, in Sept 2014 and April 2015. Superscored, my scores (by section) are:
English: 35
Math: 33
Reading: 33
Science: 33
However, I got a 32 composite score both times I took the test. Will colleges recalculate this composite score with my superscored sections (this would be a 34, two points higher!) or will they just see 32?
Thanks!
36!!! I literally can’t believe it.
36 E
36 M
34 R
36 S
Well I’m thankfully done with this. On to subject SATs…
Most will not recalculate. If you have a specific college in mind, you can always ask them directly.
Finally got mine!!!
First time taking it and got a composite score of 29!!! Even though my goal was a 29+, I still plan on retaking it in June because I messed up on reading and I consistently score 34+ on reading usually so I know I can get my score up 
English- 33 honestly a bit surprised it was this high but excited nonetheless
Math 26- it was to be expected it’s my weakest subject but better than what I thought honestly
Reading 27- like I said easily improvable
Science 31- where’d that come from??
A 29 satisfies me but I guess I’m getting greedy now congrats everyone and see you back in June for those scores!!
YAAAAAS This is my first time and this was my ultimate goal.
C: 32
E: 32 (16/16)
M: 33 (16/17/16)
R: 35 (18/17) I had a feeling that I only got one wrong
S: 29
Too bad I missed a 33 by 0.25 points.
33 Composite
34 English
36 Math
32 Reading
29 Science (YIKES)
Is this better or worse than a 2240 on SAT?
@Singeorgina its about the same
Daughter’s results came at 9:01am. She went up the one point she wanted! So excited for her!!!
A 33 ACT is about a 2180 SAT according to the concordance charts. But it’s close to your SAT score. Either send both or just send the SAT.
My sophomore S got 36!! E35 M36 R36 S35. So he doesn’t need to take SAT right?
@sdhotmama He might still have to take SAT 2 Subject tests
@outlooker, yes, he will. Thanks!
Went from a 27 in February to a 34 this time. I feel pretty good.
If I got a 26 on this ACT (my first time) and a 1790 on my first SAT, should I take the ACT again or just stick with improving on the SAT?
It looks like everyone did very good on this ACT. Except for me, I only got a 33 
You’re being absolutely ridiculous, @outlooker . I hope you do realize that a composite score of 33 is the 99th percentile nationally (http://www.actstudent.org/scores/norms1.html) and the majority of people would love to have a score that high. A 33 is not going to put you at a disadvantage in the admissions process. Stop whining and focus on the other parts of your application.
@purplepiano you do have a point. I’m retaking the ACT in June to get a 34 or 35.
@purplepiano You are my hero.
Guys I got a 30 in February and April, but in February it went math:32, reading:30, english: 30, science: 29 and in April it went math:31, reading:25, science:30, english:35, and I am top 10% academically at a very rigorous college prep high school but for some reason am not testing well. Does anybody know what I could do over the summer to nail it in the fall (my superscore is 32 which is good, but my best composite is 30)? I have been tutoring.
I took the ACT in April and got a 30 without studying or preparing at all. I’m a sophomore in high school and plan on taking it again to improve my score. What would be the “magic score” to get big time money from schools, especially in-state schools like Kentucky and Louisville?
