<p>Has anyone received their scores yet in the mail for the April 26th test? Any idea when we get them? Thanks. :) </p>
<p>(This test was only offered to select states so ignore me if you have no idea what I'm talking about.)</p>
<p>Hey-got mine yesterday (IL) at home, although my school did not receive scores yet. Science went way up:)
Just wish it would have included the optional writing, but will wait and take in early fall to cover that.<br>
-good luck to you.</p>
<p>Yay thanks! I'm in IL too, so I guess I should be finding out soon. :)</p>
<p>got mine yesterday.</p>
<p>I am in Colorado and am yet to receive, hopefully tomorrow.</p>
<p>I got a 35 (35/35/33/35). I was very surprised I did so well on science. Last time I got a 26 on it, which dragged my composite down to 32.</p>
<p>Almost 100% chance I will go to UIUC for electrical engineering in Fall '07.</p>
<p>Very good GShine. Well done!</p>
<p>Colorado here.
I got my scores last weekend.
34 composite
(36 science, 35 english, 35 reading, 30 math)</p>
<p>Like GShine, I was pretty shocked by my science score, but more than that my math score. I look the ACT freshman year and got a 22 in math, which pulled my composite down to a 29. This time around I wasn't expecting great things either, considering I didn't answer nearly ten questions (i just bubbled in C...i love the fact that ACT has no guessing penalty!). so that was pretty damn cool.</p>
<p>Colorado here.</p>
<p>I am pretty sad about now. Another 22, my second time! The first time, on the 8th, I had to guess on like 33% of the questions it seemed. On the 26th, I knew pretty much all of them, it appeared. On science on the 8th, I got a 23, and I guessed on about 80% of those. This time, I got a 20 on science, and I pretty much knew them all. I am wondering what the hell happened, maybe a wrong report. Not sure, but pretty sad :(

<p>Hey Patrick,
where in CO do you live?</p>
<p>Hello Vegangirl.
Alamosa, in the San Luis Valley. And you?</p>
<p>Your score is very impressive. I am not sure what it is with me. I am #1 in my class with an unweighted GPA of 4.0 and a weighted GPA of 4.28. My ACT score is really going to kill me.
Patrick</p>
<p>Cool :) I live in Denver.</p>
<p>i don't like the ACT at all. It's paced really terribly (i'm a fast reader and i barely finish the reading sections, and come nowhere near completing math), and the science section is iffy. i mean, what exactly are they testing you on? how well you read graphs? and really, what is the point of THAT? anyway, the point i'm coming to here is that i know a lot of really intelligent people who didn't score very high on this test, which leads me to really question its validity.</p>
<p>plus, your class rank is super impressive. valedictorian...nice. do you want to go to college in state or out of state? for me, i think it's about time to leave the land-locked republican territory we call home, at least for a few years:)</p>
<p>33 composite
32 english
33 math
35 reading
32 science</p>
<p>i ran out of time for the math section, but nonetheless, i am pretty disappointed. i'm defanitly taking this over again...</p>
<p>Vegan: Oh, awesome. What is the name of the school? I have seen a few high-ranked students on these forums that cant do well on the ACT. The thing is, colleges take the ACT very serious, and I try to as well. I am disappointed that I didnt improve, and pretty suprised. I will probably try one more time, but not sure. I'd like to go to CSM, but with the 22, it will be tough to get accepted. If I could get a 33+ on the ACT, I'd attempt the SAT and try to get into ND or MIT. But for now, Mines, and if not, CSU-Fort Collins. Where do you plan on going? Your 35 is excellent, good work!
Pat</p>
<p>Could you guys list your Practice test scores just to get a feel for the correlation between the scores of the Practice test and the REAL test.?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>wazzup- i didn't prep, so i can't help you out. sorry :(</p>
<p>patrick, i go to denver school of the arts. i'm not sure where i want to go to college, but i'm looking at georgetown, george washington, and the university of maryland in/around washington DC and columbia, fordham, and barnard in NYC. we'll see how it goes...</p>
<p>(btw, mines is a good school- are you going to study engineering/something related?)</p>
<p>IL here............35 (all 35s).....part of me is ecstatic, part of me is ****ed that we couldn't take the writing with it, and part of me is thinking "Just two more friggin' questions!"</p>
<p>drummerdude- i'm ticked about the writing too! i wasn't expecting to do well enough to want to submit my scores to colleges, but now that i have, i'm annoyed that not all of them will take it because it doesn't have writing. lame lame.</p>
<p>How is it here that no one seemed to score under a 30?...</p>
<p>Haha. That's how CC is, Nick. The creme de la creme of college applicants. Notice how the Ivy schools get their own section. At my school, there are loads of people who are happy at 26 or 27, and a couple that are ecstatic at 30 or 31. But that's not the type of people you'll find a lot of on CC.</p>
