<p>1) should I pay the $8 to view them now? or wait for them to come in the mail?</p>
<p>2) i'm nervous to check...I feel I didn't do too well (I'm not a good test taker and I always get the same feeling...same feeling after SAT's)</p>
<p>3) Will my scores get to RD schools in time if I wait for the scores to come in the mail? Do I have to early view in order to send them? How does it work?</p>
<ol>
<li><p>no, it's really a waste of money unless you KNOW you did well and won't mind spending $8 to confirm it</p></li>
<li><p>...not much of a question here, but I can promise you that that happens to most people; some can't handle it and MUST check their scores even if they know they're going to be lower than usual</p></li>
<li><p>I think you can wait till you get your scores in the mail for your RD schools; if you're confident that your scores are higher, write on your apps that you took the test in dec and that you'll submit the scores as soon as they become available; if you're not sure you're gonna get your best score through your december test, then suck it up and do the early viewing period</p></li>
</ol>
<p>--hope this helps!</p>
<p>Thanks...I sucked it up and went to view it, but my credit card is American Express and they only take mastercard and visa :(. doh</p>
<p>you should definitely pay it.</p>
<p>haha...good luck! I'm scared to check mine!!!</p>
<p>i checked mine. It was a lot less then what I expected. You probably did fine on it. Don't be scared to check unless you don't want to pay the 8 bucks.</p>
<p>I wouldn't mind paying $8 to be happier...it's just the concept of paying $8 to possibly be sadder! I wish ACT would just do it like SAT and just make them all available right from the start; this "pay $8" thing is just evil! I'm happy with my score right now (30 C, 12 W), but I really wanted something higher on the composite....how'd you do?</p>
<p>I got a 27. I was hoping for a 31. I agree with you for the paying 8 bucks idea. It is terrible. They are coming up with new ways of making easy money off of desperate people. Good job on the 30 and especially on the 12.</p>
<p>thanks; i just hit post #200! Anyway, don't worry about your score; I saw on another thread that you're a junior; on the December test when I was a junior, I got a 26; on the next test, I got a 25...don't get discouraged if you think you have a low score...I advise you to take the June test...for some reason, I always find it the easiest (that's when I got my scores). Also, lazystudentsway, if you've ever heard of them...use their SAT...that's right...SAT guide for the writing section; that's how I got my 12....you have plenty of time to up your score; I got my 30 w/minimal practice and prep...good luck!</p>
<p>ok, thanks a lot. Yeah, I started to feel bad about the 27, and my dad encouraged me to keep practicing to see an improvement. Hopefully, I will get above a 30 someday. I'm counting on the June test as you said. Thanks for the help.</p>
<p>it's like 8AM in CA! What in the world are you doing up?!?! JK...don't worry too much about it; remember, stats aren't everything....anyway, sorry to cut this short, but i got to go to a teachers house to get some rec letters! Bye for now!</p>
<p>See you later.</p>
<p>You're lucky you are a junior! You have a lot of time to improve...this was my only chance to get a score better than my SAT score which is bad. I don't feel like calling my dad for his credit card # :-. I'll check it later. I'm guessing I got a 29...which is not what I went in shooting for :(. My goal was a 31-32...I just feel like I bombed the science and reading because of time...</p>
<p>I had the same goal as you and I ended up with a 27. Yeah, hopefully I get to the 31-32. I would love that so much.</p>
<p>Grr I'm scared to check...this always happens with the SAT's! For the SAT's I would hate checking scores because they never came back w/ good results :(. I'm afraid this is the same with the ACT :(.</p>
<p>I really want to check my scores, but I won't allow myself to pay $8 when I already tested as a standbye. I'll probably end up scoring lower anyways...</p>
<p>I got a 34 composite. Will colleges look at that favorably even though i only got 1910 on the SAT?</p>
<p>they will egghead.</p>
<p>fkkkkkkk I got a 28.....so ****ed</p>
<p>I STILL can't view my score!?!?!?!</p>
