***February 2016 ACT Discussion Thread***

I am in CA as well and no scores or tested status yet.

How are people doing on writing?

Cool so on writing I jumped 4 points from last time. Not sure if I’m getting better at writing as a whole or better at writing longer, more intelligent-sounding essays lol…
went from 26 to 30

@asdfghjkl940 how did you do?

No writing score yet.

@SugarSmarts I haven’t received my score yet. I’m hoping I didn’t completely screw it up, but we’ll see because I heard scores weren’t too high

@asdfghjkl940 I’m sure you did great! It’s weird that they came out so soon for some people though

Do u guys think a -8 will be a 26 or 27 on science?

@hungrypanda According to the chart it looks like a 26. :slight_smile:

I know that ACT is set to upload some scores at midnight tonight (12:00 AM on Friday). Does this bring hope for me if my status is still registered??

I need to know so badly ughhhh

About what time did your test change to “Tested” for those that have already received their scores?

For people in CA, my son tested at a center on the SF Peninsula and got his scores earlier this week with the first batch. All went exactly as others had described here on CC. They were released at midnight central time, which was the stroke of 10 pm here. If it’s true that they come out in batches on Wed and Fri, the next batch ought to be released in just under an hour. I think your status on your ACT account does need to show “tested” rather than “registered” for there to be a chance that your scores are about to be posted. My son’s status went from “registered” to “tested” on Monday morning and he then got his scores on Tuesday night. Good luck!

Still registered … but there is hope

@144444 where in cali?

@busyBBee Southern California

@144444 thanks! do you mind me asking if your status changed from registered to tested and when? The ACT system is really weird compared to the SAT system so I am just confused on this whole process. Thanks!

anyone having any luck?

Nope @mitstate

Still no scores. My son had two friends who took the test at the same test site and they received their scores with the first release. Frustrating.

:S. @sunspair. Well on the bright side, no one has at this point, so this batch probably isn’t out yet.
