***February 2016 ACT Discussion Thread***

anyone besides suns pair have their test changed to “tested” yet

Still registered…

@mitstate Sorry, I misinterpreted the post above me when I said “me.” I thought it was asking if I’m still registered…which I am unfortunately…!!! UGH!

@sunspair Ah. Well it doesnt seem like anyone has gotten scores within the past half hour so its likely this batch won’t be up until morning.

@mitstate Hoping for the best still!! Remember @fairagoura got his scores randomly between 8 and 10 AM, so keep checking throughout the day tomorrow!

My sister got her results just now( TX ). She was under registered category until today morning . It changed within the last hour.Those who are waiting - check periodically & best of luck to all !

Got my scores… Really disappointed in English bc I have always gotten 34,35,36 and if I got my normal score, then I would have a 35 (the score I want). Other than the english, I’m pretty satisfied. No writing score yet.

C-34
E-32 (what the heck)
M-34
R-34
S-36

@brant9297 great job!

Brant, those are AWESOME scores… Still REGISTERED here…

Got my writing score. 23, all subscores are an 8/12. Guess its not so bad considering I spent too much time on my introduction paragraph and rebutting the other perspectives.

Hello, today I got my writing score and was shocked to see that it was a 15! My composite was a 30 with a 32 on English and a 34 on Reading. What happened? All of the sub scores were 6. This was my first time taking the ACT, should I get it rescored?

Before you knew your writing score, were you planning on retaking the ACT @Goatboy76?

My son took it in SoCal. His scores were there today when I checked this afternoon; not there late last night. Still no writing score. He’s happy with his score, and is done I think.

35 overall, 34 in science, so I’m agreeing with the speculation that -1 was a 34.

So I’m a little self conscious about my score (34) right now, so I need a little advice. Am I worrying for no reason? I applied to 4 Ivy Leagues and just had my Yale interview yesterday via Skype bc I’m in Louisiana-- it went pretty well. Is my score sufficient? I’m a little worried bc I was so expecting a 35.

If I still show up as registered on the website, is it possible that my scores will be entered at midnight or should I not bother checking?

@brant9297 what are the rest of your stats?

@suzyQ7 I think I have pretty good ECs so I’ll give a short rundown: president and founder of a club, president of another one, multiple time state qualifier for school and club swim, top 5 ranking, several other clubs and other state qualifications since freshman year. As for volunteering and work experience, I have spent a summer coaching swim or kids and volunteering for teaching inner city kids swimming too.The only thing that I regret not ever venturing into is music and not delving more into the arts especially bc I was on the gifted art program but decided to stop bc of swim. If you want more elaboration feel free to message me.

Assuming GPA is high? Stats sound good and a 34 will not keep you out of ivy if they liked the rest of your app. That said, they reject 93% of applicants.

@suzyQ7 Yes, I’m taking it again mid March

Then don’t rescore. Just try and do better on the next one.
