<p>@Sy2850: Section subscores are not necessarily the sums of its respective subscores.</p>
<p>I am in shock and relief!</p>
<p>E: 36
M: 36
R: 36
S: 36</p>
<p>W: 10 (frankly, I thought my essay wasn’t great, but it was pretty long. Only goes to show this section’s awkward subjectivity…)</p>
<p>My mom is rolling her eyes right now because I probably spent about an hour studying. She expected worse. So supportive… Haha…</p>
<p>Amazing job Seriwe 
I got a 33. (English 35, Math 29, Reading 32, Science 36, Writing 9) I’ll probably take it again because that math is just infuriating right now!</p>

<p>So close…</p>
<p>34/35/36/34 35 Composite. (wipes sweat off forehead). Math was harder, I think it received a more generous curve.</p>
<p>36, 36, 36, 36 as well!!! </p>
<p>Somehow I got a question wrong on math, thank god there was a generous curve.</p>
<p>Mythical8, Congrats dude, thats amazing!</p>
<p>34/34/34/36 Composite 35. I can’t believe this, so happy! I kinda feel bad about my math now that I know how the curve was, but oh well.</p>
<p>Yeeerp, science is definitely -1 = 35…</p>

<p>9 Essay</p>
<p>How did I get an 18/18 in English but my English score was a 35?</p>
<p>Like someone else said earlier, a subsection could have a -1/2 penalty for each question wrong, while the overall section is -1 = 35…</p>
<p>34 E 
same score as last year
36 M 34 last year
34 R got 36 last year
36 s 31 last two years</p>
<p>composite 35</p>
<p>wish i had gotten two more points so i would have had a 36. does anyone know if act does selective scoring where i can send my highest scores in each section to colleges?</p>
<p>No essay score here yet. Can someone explain how it fits in to the writing score?</p>
<p>@89wahoo
it doesn’t; its graded separately</p>
<p>Mine still hasn’t posted…:(</p>
<p>@Pjbrida what is your test status?
mine is still “registered” >_></p>
<p>First time taking it…very depressed…■■■</p>
<p>E: 30
M: 36 (I’m Asian)
R: 28
W: 35</p>
<p>C: 32</p>
<p>I expected math and science, didn’t expect English and Reading. I averaged 33-35 on practice tests as well as 33/34 on English and 32/33 on Reading. Any tips?</p>
<p>*I also didn’t bring a watch to pace myself (kinda killed me in English) and got 4 hours of sleep (insomnia ftw) - do you think this might have influenced the scores?</p>
<p>Congrats to those who did well :)</p>
<p>Wow, everyone has done so well on this test. For those that are disappointed in your scores, you did really great by national standards. Anyone that scored a 30 or higher is in the 95 percentile. That is awesome and something to be extremely proud of! Here’s a link for a breakdown of the subsections and composite scores and their corresponding percentiles (maybe this will help some of you feel better about your score?):</p>
<p>[ACT</a> Score Information: National Ranks for Test Scores and Composite Score](<a href=“ACT Test Scores | ACT Scoring | ACT”>ACT Test Scores | ACT Scoring | ACT)</p>
<p>My daughter scored a 30 composite on her test, and we are thrilled! Here’s her breakdown:</p>
<p>Composite ~ 30 (95th percentile)
English ~ 34 (99th percentile)
Math ~ 30 (94th percentile)
Reading ~ 31 (93rd percentile)
Science ~ 25 (84th percentile)</p>
<p>My daughter knew that she blew the science section coming out of the test. She thought it was very hard compared to all the practice tests she had previously taken, which was about 7 or 8. She felt pretty good about all the other sections though. She did take the test through her high school on April 24th and thought she did even better on that test than on this one; however, that test didn’t have the writing portion. Thank you state of Illinois for cutting funding so that the students taking the ACT didn’t get the chance to take the writing portion of the test this year! Can you detect my sarcasm? Anyway, my daughter is taking it again in June and hopefully she will get even higher than a 30 that time. She will gladly take the 30 for now though.</p>

<p>Will the low-ish science score hurt me if I plan on applying to a combined Bach/md program???</p>
<p>Still registered… Anyone else?</p>
<p>Thank you for posting that info Lady Ham. While I’m also thrilled to see so many young people who obviously worked hard and performed brilliantly on the ACT…posts like this one make me question if there’s room here on CC for kids like my son who learned he got a 29 on the test this morning, and considering it was his first try, actually felt pretty OK about it. Onward and upward!</p>
