<p>Yeah I'm wondering the same thing. For the October ACT I got my results the day they said it would be up (November 14th). This time I keep checking and they're not up. I guess we are just unlucky and have to wait longer...</p>
<p>BTW...props to those who haven't gotten their October ACT's and still took the December ones. That's dedication. :)</p>
<p>Best strategy I have heard of for many is to think of it as a race as opposed to a test. The SAT is a test. The ACT is how fast can you do it.</p>
<p>There are people who haven't gotten their October ACTs?? That's rough. Silly ACT.</p>
<p>yeah, I'm gonna call again today and see what's up with my October scores. I didn't do well December, so I'm relying on them being released soon.</p>
<p>UGH MY tests are not up! They've been up early other times! I want them.. I'm on east coast.</p>
<p>Oh My God, I am in awe.</p>
<p>Composite: 35
English: 35
Math: 34
Reading: 35
Science: 35</p>
<p>...First time taking the test, and I almost didn't get up. WOW. I am so absurdly pleased. This completely makes up for my semi-decent SAT scores I got in March (2110). Happy dance time!</p>
<p>But I also got a 35 on Reading though I got an 18 on both sections. I think maybe a LOT of people did really well or something? It doesn't really make sense.</p>
<p>Before the first I prepared a good amount, a few practice tests
Before the second, I did one test (april test)
before the third (december), I tutored my friend for 6 math questions and then we got distracted and left
... I don't know what happened
But over summer my Math2 went up almost 100 points and My ACT 2 though no prep
I walked out thinking F Science, and that I did worse than my 29 from before. I knew I got a 36 on math, and didnt do as well on writing, and better on reading... but
Don't even know how I pulled this one off to be honest</p>
<p>OMG YES. </p>
<p>Checked today in my school library. I literally screamed out loud. haha.</p>
<p>First time taking it:
32 composite
35 English
34 Math
30 Reading
27 Science =(</p>
<p>I'm happy though =D It sure helps a lot. It made my day completely.</p>
<p>whillybird,</p>
<p>no nothing is funny, lol </p>
<p>those 18s are your subscores and they are 1-18</p>
<p>I'm so mad at myself, all this time stressing about the SATs I had no idea how much easier the ACTs were. I feel that if I had preped and gotten my timing down I could have gotten a 33+ because I left probably about 5-10 questions blank (well I guessed) on each section and still got a 27, which is better than my SAT score my about 50. So that'd mean I got most of the questions I answered right.</p>
<p>I don't think it's really any easier than the SAT. I mean, sure, some people (apparently including me) find that they do better on the ACT, but a lot of people do worse.</p>
<p>Has anyone in Illinois gotten their ACT score?</p>
<p>ACT and SAT are to different tests...personally I found it easier, but it was aimed more toward what I'm better at (grammar, algebra etc) I don't think it'd be any easier than the SAT overall.</p>
<p>OMG! I am so frustrated!
Math:30
English:31
Science:25
READING: 19 >_<
This ruined my whole score. My composite is 26. Apparently, I really have to work on my vocab,. I didn't even know it's possible to get a score of 19.. Ahhhhhhh ;(</p>
<p>lol...don't worry. I had a panic attack in the middle of the October test and got a 19 math. 23 Composite after getting like 32-34 on practice tests. Just take it again. :)</p>
<p>Wow, I did terrible. I'm not even going to post my score. What a joke. Luckily I'm only a sophomore so it should get better.</p>

@Pistolen08, thanks for the response. The only thing thats disconcerting is that my friend got also got a 35 on reading but he got a 18 and 17 on the subsections. It just seems unlikely that you can get a perfect score for each subsection and end up with a 35.

<p>You didn't think it was weird that your math subscores don't add up to 36 either?</p>
<p>Your scores are not the sums your subsection scores. Each subscore and each of the four test scores has its own curve. A subsection score of 18 may not be "perfect", as you can miss questions and still get an 18. Look at the score conversions for the practice test here, starting on page 63: <a href="http://www.act.org/aap/pdf/preparing.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://www.act.org/aap/pdf/preparing.pdf</a></p>
<p>If you miss one on the English test, your English score is 35. If it was a Rhetorical Skills question, your subscores will be 17 and 18, but if it was a Usage/Mechanics question, your subscores will both be 18.</p>
<p>@Mrs. Ferguson, thanks for clearing this up</p>
<p>E: 35
M: 25 (I thought this would be higher, but I'm not a math person, so it doesn't matter)
R: 31
S: 25 (went up 7 points from the last time I took it)
C: 29</p>
<p>DAMMIT! I am getting so *<strong><em>ed off with the ACT. My scores are STILL not up! What do they do!? Tell people a 3 window time-frame then put your scores up at 11:59pm on the last *</em></strong>ing day!?</p>
