<p>I made some careless errors.</p>
<p>Console me please.</p>
<p>everyone makes careless errors... you still have september and october if you're a senior, and if you're a junior, then you have a while year left.. i wouldn't worry about it too much.. there are more ACT's to come</p>
<p>In April I thought I got like a 25 ended up with a 29. The point is even though you think you did bad it may end up being good.</p>
<p>yeah that's true.. on the june one last year i thought i got a 27 or 28, and i pulled out a 30.. so you'll usually do better than you think you did</p>
<p>just remember it's better to be *<strong><em>ed off than to be *</em></strong>ed on.</p>
<p>I am very sad too. I thought I finally got that 33 and everything was going well until that science section destroyed me.</p>
<p><em>holds tissue</em></p>
<p>did you miss the mitosis and viscosity questions like I did?</p>
<p>I probably missed the viscosity one and ones on dialysis since I was running out of time and was panicking.</p>
<p>yeah, i had to RUSH on the dialysis one.. i think i was able to ballpark and get 5 of those 6 though.. so that's good, considering</p>
<p>I think I actually did a lab some time ago that had to do with this problem in science class.</p>
<p>Oh well, I still have my sat score... ugh......</p>
<p>Hopefully, I got anywhere from a 32-35, but I'm thinking 29-32 =( . That test, while very easy, was stressfull. I found myself having almost panic attacks during the test as I shook while taking the test. I have extreme standardized test anxiety- yes limited to only standardized tests. I am very angry at my performance today and my essay was very bad as well. I went with the cliche, america and liberties, prohibition, possible solution- ads with health statistics included. Hopefully when september rolls around I can pull out the 35-36. Don't feel bad though, it's just a test that you can take over and over.</p>
<p>honestly, i wouldn't expect to get a 35-36.</p>
<p>in order to get that, you need a lot of luck in addition to test-taking skills</p>
<p>well I am a really good test taker- at school I usually make the highest grades and I do well in math competitions-AMC12, and the AIME. THe only problem is I freeze up and have anxiety attacks when it is a huge test like the ACT, I can't seem to calm myself even though i get 35s on the practice tests.
As for luck, well today I had a huge amount of luck on the reading section. I had 5 minutes left and the chaos theory passage left- luckily for me I know chaos theory-my name was inspired by it-have studied it, so the questions came easily.</p>
<p>There are tens of thousands of valedictorians and only like 150 kids with perfect act scores.</p>
<p>plus at really competitive high schools the top 40 kids would be valedictorians at less competitive high schools.</p>
<p>To geta 35-36, you definetely need the test-taking gods to bak you in their light.</p>
<p>yeah, I learned about chaos theory from like some random cartoon, doug or something like that.</p>
<p>like a butterfly flapping its wings causing a tornado on the other side of the globe</p>
