Magic perhaps. I would’ve assumed that states that highly administer the ACT get first priority. My state (North Carolina) only has like 15% of its grads taking the test. My essay came up today… lol. </p>
<p>I mean you can have my score if you want, it’s pretty crappy.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Lol, amen.</p>
<p>i took the ACT 3 times and got the same score on reading each time. always 17 in one subsection and 18 in the other. this time i got the same distribution but got a 34 instead of 35. really frustrating cuz it made the difference between a 31 and the 32 which i needed. anyone know why i didn’t get a 35?</p>
<p>^because you missed two questions I suppose? Subsections don’t necessarily reflect scores, so it sounds like there’s a -2 = 17 subsection. (Because I believe that people have gotten -1=35.)</p>
<p>@SweetyBunny: I wish I could make a tutorial, but I really don’t have much to say. Practice tests and experience in the test room are key though. I think that if I hadn’t started testing when I was 12 (I’m 15 now.), I wouldn’t have scored as high. </p>
<p>You all are amazing to remember the questions off the test. All I can remember is almost answering “male frog with unfertilized eggs” on the science section. Haha</p>
<p>28 Composite</p>
<p>English - 28
Math -31
Reading - 27
Science - 27</p>
<p>I’m very disappointed… 29 was my goal. I got a 28.25. Was my firs attempt… I thought I did very well. I’m worried that I won’t feel that same feeling when I retake it. Maybe I should just read more books. I also felt like I got like a 34 on math section, especially since I only saw 1 incorrect answer in the discussions…</p>
<p>^soccernerd, I put that answer too and realized how dumb it was afterward… I didn’t even read the rest of the answers :/</p>
<p>Explain to me why an 18 and 18 is a 35 in English.</p>
<p>Can someone confirm the reading question in which the author gets the parka first or dances for the president? </p>
<p>Can someone also confirm the one with English that had the Medal of Honor statement and whether or not it should be included?</p>
<p>It would be much appreciated if someone can answer these questions.</p>
<p>KALee, subsections do not necessarily reflect your section score. Just because you got an 18 on both subsections does not mean that you scored perfectly. There was a -1=18 curve on one of those subsections.</p>
<p>
So, you should feel like you were cheated and the world conspired against you so now you need to retake it and kick some ass; that’s how I felt anyway.</p>
<p>Cjgone, I have to retake it in April. I live in illinois.</p>
<p>Go retake it and slap up some nerds, brah.</p>
<p>What is the disadvantage of taking a non-writing portion if I already took one with a writing portion? Is there any?</p>
<p>Some schools won’t accept your score if you did not take the writing test in the sitting.</p>
<p>“Can someone also confirm the one with English that had the Medal of Honor statement and whether or not it should be included?”</p>
<p>English was my only 36. It was not to be included. I can’t remember what I put as to why… perhaps because it was anti-climatic (re-phrased, though)?</p>
<p>^Yay, got that one as well.</p>
<p>I got my 34 back in June (wow, feels like that was so long ago…). Good luck and congrats to everyone!</p>
<p>i wonder why my scores aren’t out yet…</p>
<p>oh just kidding. I just read page 22.</p>
<p>Got a 29 Composite… first try. <em>sigh</em></p>
<p>looks like I’ll be taking the ACT’s again since I got a 1920 on my SAT’s. Anyone get similar scores and raised their score to a 34 their second try?</p>
