***February 2016 ACT Discussion Thread***

yes @kyrieIrving2

@brant9297 A 35 is the same as a 36 for Ivy League. Once you are 34 and over, the score does NOT matter. Especially a 35. What matters is the rest of your app, so don’t waste your time trying to get the 36- instead - spend time on your essays and extra curricular.

Also, did I read in another thread that you are a senior? Are your applications not in already? How can this test even count at this point (Feb. 2016) if you are a senior?

What is considered good for a writing score? Does anyone know?

@suzyQ7 Oh yeah I am. All of my apps are done and they accept this ACT as a last one. But race affects your decision so yeah I need a 35.

How is everyone doing on the writing portion?

If i have already been accepted to a school, can I submit new scores for more money off tuition?

I’m planning to retake the ACT, when do you recommend taking it again? April or June? I also have to consider AP tests and SAT Subject Tests sooo I really don’t know. Also, does not taking it for a few months make you do worse, in other words is it better to take it while I’m fresh out of my prep class?

my dad called and my test grade have not been in mailed yet (7th grader-duke tipster) but i am in Tn. Hoping it will be in next batch.

If you have any act questions, you can ask @actstudents on instagram they actually respond

what type of questions? I like to know, what was the curve on the test, mostly about reading and english portion?

-1 was a 35 on reading. English I’m guessing -2 and -3 was a 35. @zindabad

Thank you, I was wishing for -1 english at least and -1 for reading, oh well 1 out 2 is not bad. Just have to wait another week or two to get scores in mail ;(

If our score is supposed to come in tomorrow’s batch, should the status have changed to tested now?

Thats what I am wondering as well! Also, has anyone in Cali received scores or taken the ACT in the past? If so, how long did it take to receive your scores

I don’t think it’s regional…some local students have gotten scores but the people that we’ve spoken to who tested at the school my daughter tested at haven’t.

I’m in CA as well and everyone I’ve asked in CA hasn’t received their scores… Please let it be tonight!!

@fairagoura I sure hope so! I wonder if scores can be delayed for individuals if they or someone at their center reported their test center.

My writing isn’t up yet??

I’m in CA and got my scores on the first day

@busyBBee perhaps that is the cause, the desks were oddly close together at my test center.
