<p>@gamink348 If you are still listed as “Registered” then unfortunately your scores aren’t in the first batch to be released. Just keep checking back every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! :slight_smile: Good luck!</p>

<p>My first time taking it and I’m a junior, so happy with the score!! but I may retake to try for a 34</p>

<p>English: 35 (expected 32-34)
Math: 30 (:frowning: expected 32+)
Reading: 32 (expected 29-30)
SCIENCE: 35 (XD expected 29-30)</p>

<p>Composite: 33 (:smiley: 99th percentile!!)</p>

<p>Really upset that math is so low…it’s usually my highest but English and science made up for it!</p>

<p>@peytonmg thank you! I was refreshing my page every five mins. I feel stupid for wasting that time now. XD I guess I just have to be patient :/</p>

<p>@gamink348 It’s alright, it’ll come eventually. I bet you did great! If you’re really impatient you can always try <a href=“http://www.earlyactscore.com”>http://www.earlyactscore.com</a> but I don’t know if it works for “Registered” listings.</p>

<p>@gamink348 I am in the same boat as you, bud. I am also listed as “Registered.”</p>

<p>34 comp
35 english
34 math
33 reading
35 science
10 essay
About expected. Math I knew I missed at least 3 or so so a 34 was a nice surprise. Should I retake? I was only 1 point away from a 35 and I feel like I can do better. I’m taking March SAT shooting for 2350.</p>

<p>I took October and got a 29 with minimal studying and a 32 on this one! Aiming for a 34 by June. My scores weren’t up at 6 am, but when I checked at 10 am they were up so if your scores aren’t up just keep checking throughout the day!</p>

<p>32 Comp</p>

<p>33 English
33 Math (super shocked by this because i got a 28 in October)
31 Reading
29 Science (ouch harsh curve?)</p>

<p>@ProvocativePanda you definitely should if you were that close!</p>

<p>Got a six on my writing. How bad is that?</p>

<p>I got an eight on my writing and feel that it was extremely unfair, given the examples that ACT posts on their websites so I think the grading is really unreliable and a six doesn’t mean much.</p>

<p>D got a 9 so I guess one reader gave her a 5 and the other a 4…whatever, it doesn’t affect the composite score.</p>

<p>English: 31
Math: 36
Reading: 31
Science: 31
Composite: 32</p>

<p>Essay - 6 (I did not do well; NOT sure how this will impact during college selection process) </p>

<p>How many questions do you think I could have got wrong in Science? I was scoring consistent in practice tests (34 to 36). I know I got 2 Q’s wrong. But I feel I did better than 31 score. </p>

<p>Should I ask “Hand-scoring service” for Science paper? Is it worth it? Please share your experience.</p>

<p>How do you get writing scores early? What URL do you paste into the early checker? @goblazers</p>

<p>Not required to use the early score checker. After the login to ACT, click the “Score Report” you will see the score including writing score in PDF format.</p>

<p>Composite: 35
English: 35
Math: 36
Reading: 35
Science: 35
Writing: 12</p>

<p>First time I ever took this, SO SO glad I’m done with this test. ACT and collegeboard can go bother other people now :D</p>

<p>I got an 8 on my essay and I am honestly not very thrilled about it. I felt really confident with the essay and I thought it was 10x better than my SAT. I received a 34 composite score and when I took the SAT I received a 10 on the essay portion.</p>

<p>Also, did anyone else get comments on theirs? These were mine: “Your essay acknowledged counterarguments on the issue but did not discuss them. Your essay maintained focus on the specific issue in the prompt.”</p>

<p>From all the examples I read, people would say “although some would say blah blah blah, … here is the rebuttal.” That is pretty much what I did for each supporting point, but did anyone else do counterarguments a different way? Did they want me to spend a whole paragraph on that topic?</p>

<p>Those comments are the exact same comments that were on my daughter’s. The essay grading is such a scam.</p>

<p>Weird, I got higher scores on the ACT essays than I did on the SAT’s.</p>

<p>Interesting on the essay comments. D got a 9 with: “Your essay showed recognition of the complexity of the issue by partially evaluating its implications. General statements in your essay were well supported with specific reasons, examples, and details.”</p>
