<p>Wow...wow. Is everyone on this board smarter than 90% of the people who took this test? It's amazing. Congratulations to you all, I'll try not to be jealous. </p>
<p>I personally made a 23...oh yes. You read that right.
29 on English
16 on Mathematics
28 on Reading
17 on Science</p>
<p>Why am I posting this? Maybe it will help those who scored under a 30 feel a little better.</p>
<p>I got a 29 composite....I WANTED 30!!! Oh well....what does this roughly translate into on the SAT? Thanks!
arrrggg.....I'm still mad.</p>
<p>That would be about a 1300. Be careful comparing the two. They are different tests and do not test the same things.</p>
<p>Ok... I earlier posted my new composite, but sadly, I can't contain myself-- here's the knitty-gritty:</p>
<p>Composite: 32 (+5)
English: 36 (+1)
Math: 28 (+2)
Reading: 32 (+8)
Science: 30 (+7)</p>
<p>YEEEAH. Forget "male enhancement pills",I must have had some special reading/science enhancing pills the night before or something...</p>

Sorry, you're right. I don't want to rain on anyone's parade. I'm not sure why I brought that up. I seemed to recall reading some posts by Sophie that were very arrogant and demeaning to people before, so I thought that might be the kind of person who would lie about the scores for an ego inflation also. Maybe I had her confused with someone else though with a similar name. In any case, it doesn't matter.</p>
<p>Last year, about 190 people scored 36s out of the million+ who took the test. That makes an average of 38 people who score that high on each ACT test date given. Since the scores are rounded, people who scored 36/36/35/35 or many other non-perfect combinations are also granted 36s. I imagine the vast majority of those 38 people fall into that group, and that only a tiny fraction of the 38 actually get 'perfect 36s'. On top of that, someone doing that after previously scoring a 33 is truly miraculous.</p>
<p>Grats Sophie, that's an incredible accomplishment, and also congrats to all of the other high scorers here so far. (I'm sure there will be more rolling in soon)</p>

Keep at it. I think the reason you see so many high scorers on CC is because they are, for a large part, people who are very motivated and concerned with their education, and those are two of the most important traits to have.</p>
<p>If you're ready and willing to invest the required time into studying the subject material, there's no doubt that you can bring your score up tremendously before the next test date (or whenever you decide to take it again).</p>
<p>I got a pretty crappy score...I really thought I had done better. But that's alright, I'm going to destroy the test in October.</p>

<p>I'm a little bit annoyed that I lost my 36 in math - the same thing happened with my SAT math score. But, overall... sweeeeeet. :)</p>
<p>i didn't get my scores yet...but i'm so nervous about reading and science. :(</p>
<p>theoneo,
To what do you attribute your increase in scores? Well done!</p>
<p>My scores still are unavailable. I'm so frustrated :(</p>

Science: 28 (33) +5
Combined English/Writing: 28...10 essay (don't know yet)
Composite: 28 (31) +3</p>
<p>Extremely annoyed with my english score. Brought down my composite and looks horrible.</p>
<p>mum07 - Firstly, thanks! To answer your question, I don't think it was a matter of doing anything better in June, but rather just doing worse in April. I got similar scores to what I got in June on the few practice tests I took, so I was pretty surprised by my April scores. And I know I messed up reading my first time because I misgridded at first (by not skipping a space on my answer sheet), so and it took me a solid five minutes to figure out what I did wrong. As for English... I don't really know what I did differently.</p>
<p>wow.... im so mad</p>

<p>im happy! i was actually pretty shocked/expecting much worse as i entirely omitted the last section of the reading, and like a good 5 or 6 of science-- and assumed i had to have made other stupid errors. haha better time management will make for a happy retake i geuss.</p>

<p>I may not be in the 99th percentile like a lot of people here, but I am still proud to be in the 77th percetile. I am taking it again the next test date in Illinois, any tips would be great.</p>

<p>So yes, the same score. But if I take the highest score from each subsection I should get that 30 score. At least it didn't go down.</p>
<p>Are some scores already in the mail??? I want to see my essay score and I am NOT paying another $8 to try again online.</p>
<p>damn...still no scores onlin...I'm waiting for the letter, now, which should come, in August? :(((((</p>
