<p>Wait oops thats 2015</p>
<p>Still haven’t gotten mine either…</p>
<p>"^ ^
Yeah but employers would care about what college you went to, and with a 36 you are bound to go to a great school. Also, sammy, there is reason to retake a 30. The higher your test scores the higher the acceptance rate. For example, at Brown University the acceptance rate for applicants with a 33-35 on the act is 13%, while students with a 36 have a 25% chance at acceptance. If you have a 35.25 and are upset, retake the test! Only stop taking the test when you feel that you’ve reached your maximum scoring capability."</p>
<p>@austin23 </p>
<p>I’ve seen many instances where having a 36 DOES NOT guarantee going to a “great school”. You may be capable /given the chance of being in the strong percentile along with other academically strong applicants, but you may be surprised and get a big fat denial. I’ve encountered many people with 36 who didn’t get into a school that was “great” based on their standards…long story lol. </p>
<p>As a matter of fact , Many schools are great depending on what someone prefers.</p>
<p>In fact, in my eyes , I don’t think Brown University or Harvard University are that great of a school.
Yeah people may say I’m crazy but I realize people only think some schools are “great” because of their names and nothing more. Maybe it’s just me but at one point I thought these schools were everything and thought that I want to go to these schools because are the greatest.But after hearing people who went to these schools and gave me the truth on how school isn’t really that great and regret going and how there are many other colleges that can probably do better than Harvard and colleges outside of the US that makes Brown and Harvard look like nothing, I decided that I was looking things the wrong way. So, those schools to me aren’t my preference and I am making sure I steer clear away from them. </p>
<p>I seen many 36 rejections than acceptances. The higher test score,higher acceptance rate?Maybe it’s just from countless stories but no. Not really. Increase the image of you being a strong applicant yes…but you can still get the boot. If someone has a 35 and upset,they just need to stop.Sometimes being a perfectionist can be hurtful and this is coming from experience. 35.25 . Ok .25 but still a 35 regardless.1 Composite score away from a 36. I know some people want to have pride and whatnot but dang, don’t have to be nit picky about it,it’s just…eh. Quite sad. Heck, although going to a good college is good, what matters is that you have the skills they need. Hell, I cannot count the many countless Brown,Harvard,Yale,MIT,GaTech(Yes.GaTech), Emory, Duke people I know that are lazy/can’t get a job and be capable of doing things hands-on. Also, 13% is low and 25% is only 12% difference yet still low in my eyes. In fact, if you don’t have the skills to work and succeed in the work area, if I was someone employing people, I would definitely pick the non-brown graduate over the brown graduate any day if the brown graduate does not have the skills needed to work in the company and help my company go.Yes I may raise an eyebrow and impressed on how they got into a school considered “Ivy-League” but if they don’t have what I need, they are just going to be on the rejection pile without a second thought.I could care less about what college one comes from lol. I would care more about what one can bring into a society.</p>
<p>I guess that’s just me and knowing people that employ who do not care what college you come from as long as you got what they need lol.</p>
<p>And honestly, if one is just 1 composite score away from the perfect score, that seems to be reaching the maximum scoring capability but that’s just me. It feels like sometimes people want more than a 36 when a 36 is the limit. Can’t get any higher than that.</p>
<p>But I kind of find it amusing people think good test scores means your bound to go to a good school. Maybe I’m being pessimistic but sometimes the very best scores don’t mean you’ll get the very best things in returns sometimes.Life tends to throw a curve ball. </p>
<p>I do applaud those that score high but I cannot bring myself to applaud those that are going all crybaby over not getting a perfect score.</p>
<p>I rather worry about the skills I’ve obtained that makes me a worthy asset to a company’s growth than worry about how I scored a mere number on a test that is insignificant and no longer worth losing sleep over the moment I get admission and am now considered a full-time student at a college I just. If you are at a 30, I say one is at top 1% (from what I recall,it’s top 1% yes)? And to be at top 1% is good and some people need to stop losing hair over being at the top.Seriously. </p>
<p>Again,I say this is just me.I rather worry about my work ethic and my character and skills that will aid me in getting through life than some standardized test score that cannot accurately predict my success. And if people want to disagree otherwise on how a flawed standardized test score can predict how well one does, I can argue about it all night long and show people who were said to not do well due to test scores yet managed to do better in college and graduate on a higher level than those who put them down and had higher test scores than them. </p>
<p>Unless a 36 guarantees a million dollars for the rest of one’s life(would be nice actually loljk), it’s just a number to me. </p>
<p>Sorry if I don’t make sense. :P</p>
<p>And again,this is just me but not all schools have acceptance rate go higher based on scores.I know the schools I’m applying to,acceptance rate is the same for anyone, no matter how weak or strong of an applicant you are in your eyes. </p>
<p>But if people want to stress and retake because of a 1 point difference, that’s on them 
It’s their decision . I just hope they are happy and appreciate the fact they accomplished something that not a lot of majority of people accomplish. </p>
<p>@jkk0001 that’s college
Board, ACT is a different company…</p>
<p>My question was about the subject tests - you responded with something about the ACT. </p>
<p>Anyone just get their essay score in? Along with their completed score report?
I got a 9 on my essay. I was shooting for a 10+ but I’ll take it =/</p>
<p>^^^well can someone who knows please answer both of our questions???
ACT and subject tests?</p>
<p>i got a 33 composite. I’m happy, but was hoping for a 34. E-35 M-30 R-34 S-32 W-9
This was my third ACT. (first time-28, second time-31). My top schools are Northwestern and Wash U.<br>
Should I retake to bring my math up?
I got a 32 on the math section in April but my composite was lower and my science was horrendous. I know that Wash U superscores ACT, but should I still retake it? Thanks. </p>
<p>i still haven’t gotten my score and this is extremely annoying. can somebody help me please 
</p>
<p>I still haven’t gotten my writing score oh well it should come by Friday…</p>
<p>That was excellent Sammy :)</p>
<p>If I got 8 on writing with 32 composite but 10s on writing on my other tests with lower composites, will I be able to send in more than one test so they can see my higher writing score?</p>
<p>Thanks @seniors2015 . And sorry if I come off as pissy. 
I kinda am actually at some(not all) being so crybaby about scores that put them at the highest. And also, It’s just frustrating that some people actually measure/predict someone’s excellence based on test scores.</p>
<p>I guess I just know a lot of people that had crappy test scores and people said that they won’t survive in a “good” college, yet managed to have the highest college gpa out of others who had better test scores than them.</p>
<p>If you designated colleges during your registration, they probably have your previous test scores already and if you check to see if they superscore and they do, you’re good.</p>
<p>I just got my scores (except for my essay)! I have a 33 now, which is a big improvement from the 29 I received during Freshman year. I have a 35 on everything except for a 28 in math 
how can I improve my math score? Also, could I possibly get a 35/36 in the next year and a half? I really want to beat my brother!</p>
<p>Got a 10 on my essay. Woo hoo?</p>
<p>@SammyxB I agree with you that score is only one aspect of whole process. I know number of students who made it to the best college and after year or two they burned out to fit in there and they came home depressed versus kids did their best and they got degree and working. Also 36 does not mean guarantee admission anywhere.</p>
<p>Did anyone get scores in mail yet?</p>
<p>Also, a good school doesn’t guarantee a good job.Lol, has anyone seen how the economy is right now? It’s like hell for graduates now. I know so many people living with parents more than ever or living with a few people to try and save up money .</p>
<p>And it’s annoying how people think based on my scores, they believe I cannot make it in college classes. Many don’t take into consideration that perhaps there are some things covered on standardized test that I never was introduced in class(I’m being serious about this.Especially in ACT math where some parts I never recall in my years of learning ever being introduced) and I might be all worried/nervous/anxious while taking test,etc.I can understand how to some degree they matter, but I do not accept being degraded/put down and told I can’t make it based on sitting on 3-4+ hours in a room with a proctor that tries to crack jokes doing some test that has flaws and is undergoing changes due to losing customers.</p>
