June ACT Scores

Test Preparation
21

<p>I am so glad I took the ACT. I had a 2200 SAT- 670 M, 740 CR, 790 W.</p>

<p>I took the ACT without any prep, although I did do SAT prep so I guess that kinda helps a lot.</p>

<p>My Scores-
Composite: 34! YESSSSSSSSS
English- 33
Science- 32
Math- 35
Reading- 34
Writing- 31 :( oh well, my essay was a 9??? I got a 790 writing on the SAT and a 31 on ACT-- weirdddd. Whatever, at least it doesn't go into the composite score. I would have been sooo mad. </p>

<p>My math score was lowest on my SAT and highest on my SAT and the opposite for my writing scores. Anyone else have results like that?</p>

22

<p>Composite: 35
English: 35
Math: 35
Reading: 33
Science: 35
Essay: 11</p>

<p>All I did for prep was try to remember what the SAT was like since I took it the week before. The math score was annoying because I got 18s in all the subsections. I got the same score on my SAT essay. I expected no higher than a 32 on the reading since I spent so much time thinking about the passage about tomatoes and grandma that I rushed through the rest.</p>

<p>whoot!! 34 composite!!!</p>

<p>hello32... this is random.. but our scores are almost exactly the same.. i got a 2200 on my sats too, although my stats are slightly different (730cr/740m/730w)</p>

<p>which looks better, a 34 or a 2200??</p>

24

<p>My test score came up ONE point, despite all my prep that I did this time! Oh, GRR!</p>

<p>COMPOSITE: 29
Math: 24
Science: 25
English:34
Reading: 34
Writing: 12
Combined Eng/Writing: 35</p>

<p>My math and sci stayed exactly the same . . . only the reading and the writing came up. I'm proud of my writing score (which was basically a football-bashing essay).</p>

<p>Congratulations, everyone!!!</p>

25

<p>i am pretty sure a 34.. a 34 translates to a 1520 on the old sat. for me it is definitely better bc my Critical Reading+Math (translates to Verbal+Math) was a 1410. My writing score really was what gave me that 2200. So actually I'm really not sure. I wonder if they will come out with new SAT/ACT conversions.</p>

<h2>36 English/Writing (12 Essay)</h2>

<p>33 Composite</p>

<p>I posted these questions on another thread, but I didn't a response:</p>

<p>1) Is there any significant difference between, say, a 33,34,34,32 (33) and a 36,36,30,28 (33)? One averages to a 33.25 and the other is a 32.5.</p>

<p>2) If two people have the same score, a 32 for example, is the person with a couple 36s and lower scores (36,36,28,29) more impressive than another person with consistent ones (32,33,32,32)? Or is no real attention given to this?</p>

<p>3) Do admissions committees convert the scores, or just put a number for all 33s (like, 33 converts to a 2200). By what method do they convert the scores, if at all?</p>

<p>And also,
4) How good does a 36 English/Writing score look, considering that the only way to score a 36 is to get a 36 English score and a 12 on the essay (according to the "Real ACT Prep Guide"? I have (relatively) low SAT scores (2090, 2100 with highest from each), so I'm hoping my ACT score will help me...</p>

<p>^that would really depend on all your other stats, especially your gpa.... but without those, I would still say yes</p>

<p>From above:</p>

<p>"1) Is there any significant difference between, say, a 33,34,34,32 (33) and a 36,36,30,28 (33)? One averages to a 33.25 and the other is a 32.5."</p>

<p>Depends on college; at majority it would make no real difference as they look mainly at composite; however, a number of colleges (particularly in the East) consider the math and English sections to be the most important; also a small number actually consider only the math and English scores and ignore reading, science and composite (examples: Georgia Tech, Rose-Hulman -- yes, those two tech schools ignore your science score completely)</p>

<p>"2) If two people have the same score, a 32 for example, is the person with a couple 36s and lower scores (36,36,28,29) more impressive than another person with consistent ones (32,33,32,32)? Or is no real attention given to this?"</p>

<p>See answer to number 1.</p>

<p>"3) Do admissions committees convert the scores, or just put a number for all 33s (like, 33 converts to a 2200). By what method do they convert the scores, if at all?"</p>

<p>A number use conversion tables but most of those who do have their own conversion tables (many based on recent percentile rankings of the tests) which do not match those you find generally available on line (in other words, if you rely on those on-line conversion tables you may be relying on false information); with the new tests they will redo their conversion tables after SAT provides percentile rankings for writing and overall for its new test in October. Many colleges do not convert at all; at least one, Rose Hulman, actually mixes and matches SAT and ACT tests together to get your highest score to consider for admission, i.e., it can take your highest math from the ACT and highest reading from the SAT to get combined score it will consider for admission.</p>

<p>"4) How good does a 36 English/Writing score look, considering that the only way to score a 36 is to get a 36 English score and a 12 on the essay (according to the "Real ACT Prep Guide"? I have (relatively) low SAT scores (2090, 2100 with highest from each), so I'm hoping my ACT score will help me..."</p>

<p>Obviously for any college that will be considering the writing section (a minority), the score has real meaning. At places like Georgetown which will ignore the writing section entirely for 2006 applicants, it will have no impact.</p>

<p>My friend got a 1720 on the SATs and a 33 on the ACT. Weird huh?</p>

<p>I have my writing score; it's 11. The updated score is 34/35/33/32 11/34.</p>
