<p>34 English (17,18) ( I know I missed 3… the curve isnt as harsh as people say)
36 Math (18,17,18) This curve saved me.
35 Reading (18,17) I didn’t think I missed any
33 Science Only thought I missed one…</p>
<p>COMPOSITE: 35!!!</p>
<p>ANyways I was shooting for a 34 so a 35 is AMAZING. I’m ecstatic. :)</p>
<p>EDIT:</p>
<p>Also I have a super-scored 36 now of </p>
<p>35

<p>Please people, stop asking if your score is “good” or “competitive” or if you should retake. No one can answer those questions for you. Retake if you haven’t taken it three times and if you feel you can do better. Look up the middle percentiles for scores at the colleges you’re interested in in order to see where you stand. </p>
<p>And jbabe - Unless you got your scores in the mail, there’s no possible way you would know what your essay score was.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Why are you asking this? Colleges don’t look at one specific section; rather, they look at the composite score.</p>
<p>^ Ok thanks</p>
<p>Recheck your scores again. My son’s essay score was posted in web now, but is was not there this morning.</p>

<p>When we get those back, what score do we need on that for the upper-tier colleges? Does it affect college’s opinion of you a lot?</p>
<p>C: 33
E: 30
M: 35
R: 32
S: 33
lol my english grade seems pathetic</p>
<p>e: 36
m: 36
r: 35
s: 35</p>
<p>comp: 36 
am i bragging? hell yeah. i worked my ass off for this. congrats everybody!</p>
<p>Is a 30.5 treated the same as a 31.25?</p>
<p>^^^^^yes…</p>
<p>24 is not bad. Like I said in my previous post, I first made a 25 and retook and made a 32.</p>
<p>Truth is that a 3 hour testing session on a given Saturday is not really an accurate way of showing innate “intelligence”. Especially if a retake can significantly change your score (much like mine did).</p>
<p>I know I posted my scores earlier, but I completely forgot that you could superscore, and there are some differences from my ACT in April from the ACT in June.</p>
<p><em>scratch that question. It would only leave me with a 26.5, which really doesn’t make a difference honestly</em></p>
<p>shermani - The ACT is an achievement test, not an aptitude test, which means that it tests what you have learned in high school. The SAT, on the other hand, is an aptitude tests, which is much better at testing innate intelligence (fluid intelligence) than the ACT. But please, there are two threads that cover this on the SAT forum; we don’t need to get into it here.</p>
<p>XelbMS, your superscore would raise your composite to 27.</p>
<p>A 26.5 rounds up to a 27.</p>
<p>silence—</p>
<p>If both tests are testing two different things, how come Collegeboard claims there to be a concordance table for both?
The concordance table implies that both tests are equivalent in terms of validity.</p>
<p>I’m a parent, but I’ve been following these ACT prep treads as nervously as any of you since the June ACT test date. Even if you know the material cold, it’s far too easy to misread a question, to get lured by a second-best choice, or to get hit with a completely oddball question like the last one in the June math session, which pretty much required knowledge of synthetic division.</p>
<p>I guess I need not have worried; my son’s scores:
Composite 36
English 36 (18/18)
Math 36 (18/18/18)
Reading 36 (18/18)
Science 36</p>
<p>He did, however, also take the writing portion and didn’t have time to finish his essay (the writing results aren’t back yet). Do you guys think that HYPSM will look unfavorably on a 36 composite with an 8 in writing? It seems pretty goofy to retake a perfect 36, but there’s no way to just take the essay by itself. Did anyone NOT finish the essay and get a reasonable writing score?</p>
<p>Futureexecutive, how did you get a 35 on science? That’s impossible according to the curve… are you lying about your supposed “36”?</p>
<p>Lorem, you shouldn’t worry about the writing score, most colleges don’t really look at it much. You should be extremely proud of your son!</p>
<p>^ wanted to ask the same thing ;)</p>
<p>^it’s probably superscored.</p>
<p>What were the curves exactly? Has it been confirmed that Science -1 = 36 and -2 = 34? Reading/English is -1 = 35, -2 = 34, etc.? And Math is -1 = 36, -2 = 35…?</p>
