***April 2016 ACT Discussion Thread***

I didn’t get mine. But it’s only 7:40 CT

So maybe there’s hope. But it looks like I’ll be waiting till Friday.

I got mine. International + Writing test here. I did terrrrrribbbleee… I’ve shamed my Asian family by failing the most easiest test…

C 33
E 34
M 31
R 32
S 36

Math was the least I studied for btw… I focused on science the most…

RETAKE JUNE FOR 35 LEGGO

Checkmate 123 how did they round up a 34.25 to a 35?

Made a mistake, math is actually 36 but I can’t edit it anymore

So 34.5 rounds up to 35

Got it great job!

Thanks, you too!

So should I assume that if I didn’t get scores yet that it won’t be happening today? Do they ever release scores after 8:00am?

International here

C 34
E 34
M 33
R 33
S 34

Can’t believe I screwed up the math section!! I finished it with 18 mins of checking. And I consistently get 35-36 on math section on all the practice tests.

Gonna retake it next year since I’m still a sophomore.

Ugh… Still didn’t get mine:( guess I have to wait until Friday

From ACT’s twitter, “all available scores have been posted for today. The next batch will be out on Friday.”

Guess it was worth the wait!

E 36, M 36, R 31, and S 35 for a 35 composite score.

I’m super psyched but it there’s ever a score breakdown to retake a 35, this is it!

Just viewed my scores, international here
C 35
E 35
M 36
R 33
S 36
Writing: Not released yet.
Is it worth retaking the ACT to achieve a perfect 36? Do colleges discriminate between the two scores?

I’m getting really annoyed with this waiting game… Anyone taken the ACT before and know the chances of scores being released on friday?

Just got my scores today!
C: 34
E: 32
M: 35
R: 33
S: 35
(First attempt)

I am not sure if I should redo it though. I am sorry if I sound pedantic. It’s just that many people I have talked have said that by getting 35/36 your chances of admissions to top uni’s would significantly improve. Is this true?

No. Literally, there is no difference between a 34 and a 36. Colleges (yes, even Ivies) will not care. Focus on other parts of you application at this point.

There is no telling. My daughter had her October results released the day she went in to take her December test! Then the December results came out on the first available day.

It really is super random. For the life of me, I don’t understand why it takes so long to grade the multiple choice portions of the tests.

My son (a sophomore and first time to take ACT) got a 35C…36M 36E 36S and 30R…he really doesn’t want to take the entire test again simply because of the average Reading score…he is STEM and would love to go to MIT CalTech type school…transcripts and grades are even better…so…hopefully not taking will be ok

Is a 33 C good enough for the Ivies? or should I retake… I also have a 2230 SAT superscore
