Has anyone taken the ACT cold or barely studied and got a really good score?

<p>took practice test night before. got a 36. but I got an 8 on the essay for a 32 combined subscore. Should I retake?</p>

<p>LMAO!!!</p>

<p>i got a 30 cold. thats pretty good considering my SAT score was way lower.</p>

<p>I got a 33 first try with no prep; I just got it back and I’m about to be a junior. Does anyone know what I could expect to get if I study next time?</p>

<p>Depends… sometimes the test are hard, sometimes they’re easy…you never know what you can get when you get to the 32-34s</p>
