<p>Scores are free online now, so how did everyone do?</p>
<p>Eng 35 (up from 30!)
Math 33 (down from 36)
Read 29 (up from 27)
Sci 36 (up from 35)</p>
<p>Comp 33</p>
<p>I'm pretty shocked as to how well I did in English. I was surprised that I even got 30 on the April ACT. I'm disappointed with my Math score, I was expecting another easy 36. Reading is better than last time, but still not even close to the best score I got (32 in 9th grade).</p>
<p>wow, what was your composite in 9th grade??</p>
<p>36/36/36/36</p>
<p>11 on Essay, so a 35 combined Reading, </p>
<p>Overall 36.</p>
<p>w00t! Happy.</p>
<p>not as good as you people, but still pretty goood....</p>
<p>33/30/28/30</p>
<p>the 28 kinda hurt me</p>
<p>my 9th grade composite was probably 28 or 29...can't really recall</p>
<p>Let me make everyone else's scores look better

33/27/28/25</p>
<p>C: 28 (Sophmore)</p>
<p>My scores are so damn inconsistant from test to test. I've never done so bad before.</p>
<p>I'm still pretty disappointed with what I got. I was expecting my reading to jump 5 points or so, but I only got 2. The big shocker was the improvement in my English scores. Never would've expected that.</p>

12 Essay (YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! Finally!)
32 composite (Grrr, just 1 more individual question right on math or science and I would have had my goal of 33.)</p>
<p>When you come out from taking the test, don't you guys feel like you've aced the whole thing? I do, but then my results say different.</p>
<p>how can you be disappointed with a 33!!! a 33!? dsmo</p>
<p>I came out thinking I did horrible... yet I got a 30!</p>
<p>Expected vs. Actual</p>
<p>E 36 33..... what did I get wrong?
M 33 27..... how the #&$<em>#&(</em> did that happen?
R 26 28.... expected...ran outta time
S 31 25..... ran outta time... but still I did that bad?</p>
<p>Wow am I happy to have wandered into this thread. I thought the waiting for the paper thingy was going to kill me! :D Here's my breakdown:</p>
<p>English: 35
Math: 34
Reading: 35<---if a test I took frosh year counts, then 36:)
Science: 32
Writing: 33
--essay=10 :(
Composite: 34!!!!</p>
<p>Considering that I thought the science was hardcore (could not for the life of me understand the circuitry/planet stuff, but I guess I wasn't alone), I'm super happy! Maybe I'll go through one more sitting of ACT and SAT and actually study farther in advance than the night before...haha I'm such a procrastinator :p</p>
<p>Just curious, too: am I the only one who has nightmares about these stupid tests? I can't believe they have so much control right now! Anyway, congrats to everyone who took the ACT--it was hard! I hope this thread gets HUGE! ;)</p>
<p>I had a dream a few years ago that I got kicked out of one of the standardized tests. I can't remember which one, but I was feeling really confident that I did awesome on the test, and then some proctor kicked me out just before the writing portion.</p>
<p>And what's weird is that writing wasn't on the tests back then. It must've been the ACT as well, because ACT writing is at the end.</p>

<p>This is w/o ANY prep. I took ACT for fun, I mean I only cared for the SAT. But I did better than I expected, esp. now that I saw that 32 was 99 percentile and is the median for HYPS. </p>
<p>I expected a lot better in English and reading. I was surprised by science coz I wasted so much time on the stupid Einstein question, and guessed on the last four (ran out of time). Anyways, I think I will report my scores to colleges now.</p>

<p>Ugh, I forgot my stupid ACT ID. I have to wait--for probably another 40 weeks. Blah. Do you guys think atleast a 30 composite is competitive for Cornell, Penn, Brown, Dartmouth, and the top LAC's (Williams and Swath)? I'm having an anxiety attack.</p>
<p>Hey IcicleRose, where do you think you want to apply?</p>
<p>I went from February 30 composite 30/34/26/28/6</p>
<p>to June 34 composite 35/34/34/33/7 with no prep</p>
<p>"Your essay used some specific details, reasons, and examples, but it needed more of them."</p>
<p>Not sure if I should retake just to improve my essay (any thoughts?) but apparently I'm doing something wrong. I probably have done so poorly with the essay because I have written logical arguments as opposed to arguments of personal experience. My grammar itself though isn't that poor and I wrote close to two pages (it might have been closer to one and a half now that I think about it).</p>
