(HELP) do you think ACT will look at my score suspiciously?

Test Preparation
1

<p>OK, so i took my first ACT test on April without writing and got 21. I never studied ACT and had no idea what will be on there.
After I got my score, i was shocked and started studying really hard during summer. On the September, I took ACT with writing ,and i felt really good about it.
Today i got my score of 32. However, I heard that people who has a dramatic score rise gets mail from ACT and has to retake the whole test. I am very nervous, because I am a senior and will be applying to college this fall. What is the chance of ACT looking at my score suspiciously? like 100percent? will they just automatically flag my score and make me retake the test?? I really need help guys!! I am so nervous about this...</p>

<p>No, people have score increases all the time. It shouldn’t be a problem, don’t worry. You must have done a great job studying!</p>

<p>so increase from 21 to 32 is not that suspicious? im just scared because I saw all the stories from this website saying that they got a mail from ACT because their score changed too much… IM SOOOO NERVOUS!!!</p>

<p>They would not have released your score if you were under investigation. They probably did look at your score and, for whatever reason, cleared you.</p>

<p>Congrats! I’m sure you’re fine. Now work on your essays. :)</p>

<p>@YZamyatin‌ , @scholarme‌ @nofate‌ really?? Im just worried because people who got a mail from ACT knew their scores, and they got their mail after 4~5 months from their test. </p>

<p>I find that very unusual and I doubt we have all the facts on that thread you linked to. If your scores were released, then they were sent (assuming you listed schools to send them to). If they were sent, how could ACT take them back? Time machine? Would they contact those schools and request they ignore the previously sent reports? What reason would they give, suspicious score increase with no other evidence? How would they explain the releasing of the scores in the first place?</p>

<p>Too many questions with no logical answers. I could see a case of extenuating circumstances causing ACT to contact schools after the fact (a convicted cheating ring or evidence that answer sheets were stolen and distributed), but not a simple case of a large score increase.</p>

<p>If you are really worried that ACT will come back months from now and question your score, send all your scores now. </p>

<p>@Kman1137‌ buy the red book and work some practice tests to get familiar with the exam. There’s no getting out of that part; it actually really does help. Memorize formulas like volume of a cylinder, distance formula, 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 triangles, the quadratic equation, area of various quadrilaterals. If you buy a writing section help book for the SAT and review the rules of dashes, semi-colons, colons, and commas before the test you’ll be good. Vocabulary is next to minimal on the ACT, don’t worry about that. You may want to read a good, smarticle-particle person book if you’re not well read though. Or fanfiction. Just kidding, don’t go near the fanfiction.</p>
