<p>I won't state my GPA, but I'm pretty good in math and science. My math score was 34 and my science score was 32 (English was 32). I would have gotten a score of 33 if only 3 sections existed. But I can't get higher than a 22 on reading. I was never taught how to read properly and almost failed second grade because of it. I am strong in math/science/engineering/technical related subjects but fail at reading. I got in the top 1% in writing. I refuse to believe that I am stupid because I think that it is a very personal situation that applies to me. Or am I actually stupid?</p>

<p>You’re not stupid, you just don’t read enough. I think you have great capabilities if you push yourself. If you try to read a whole book every week, you’ll start to get better at reading.</p>
<p>You sound like a really smart guy! Reading sections (especially in ACT and SAT) are kind of like math and science in that they’re not as subjective as you think. The passages are not really open for interpretation. You just have to figure out what “patterns” and “clues” to look for within the text, and then it becomes almost too easy. You just need to practice your brain.</p>
<p>“I got a 1750 on the SAT and it’s looking more and more like I’ll be ■■■■■■■■”</p>
<p>i hope that’s out of 1600 </p>
<p>or you cured cancer as an EC</p>
<p>not trying to be a ******, but… how? what sets you apart? just out of curiosity</p>
<p>@glasscube, what are you trying to say?</p>
<p>Try SAT,because they give way more time for reading section. It’s bizarre that you score 32 in science because the science section is basically another reading section… Very interesting. </p>
<p>And to answer the original question. Yes, they do. It will count for almost 20-30% of your application.</p>
