***October 2016 ACT Thread***

Yeeeesssss! Jesus, I couldn’t have woken up to better news.

Remember how I said a 31 would make my day?

Guess what I got?

E- 32
M- 32
R- 31
S- 27(screw you too, science)

C- 31

I told you all you’d be just fine but nooooooo gotta be pessimistic huh?!? Great colleges await you friends!

Alright. It’s five AM over here and I want to go back to sleep. I’ll give my two cents on the curve when I awake, see ya.

I really needed a 32 for a scholarship bit I got a 30. My last test I got a 29 and the one before that I got a 31. What doesn’t make sense is my individual scores:
E:31 I guess that makes sense
M:32 thought this would be lower
R:29 thought I would atleast get a 32+ because my highest reading is a 33
S:28 ehh I was expecting maybe a 30.

Oh well

35 COMPOSITE!! 35E 36M 36R 32S!!! I’m so happy yall have no idea

Composite: 35
English: 35
Math: 34
Reading: 35
Science: 36
Ah my god I’m so happy! I don’t know how this happened I took the ACT one last time almost as a joke. I went up from a 29 with barely any studying. And 36 in science? What? I’m stunned in the greatest way in my life.

@soyunchico Same, I needed a 32 for the Alabama scholarship, but I got a 31.25. December test here I come!

I’m so heartbroken. 29 composite. Same as last test. Math and Science killed me. Was really hoping to bump it up to a 32, but now I guess I just have to decide which one looks better.

Help???

September:
Composite: 29
English: 34
Math: 24
Reading: 31
Science: 26

October:
Composite: 29
English: 35
Math: 24
Reading: 34
Science: 24

@Wisconsinite99 yeah I need Alabama scholarship too. If I sign up for December that will be my fifth time so I don’t know what to do because the chance mine goes up is slim.

@cravingivy iu would probably choose September

Mine still says registered…how long do I have to wait until the next ‘wave’ of scores comes out? btw, I live in CA.

@Wisconsinite99 I talked to my parents and I’m not taking it but I wish you the best of luck!

36!!! English: 36 Math: 36 Reading: 36 Science: 35.

not feeling good about the essay though

33!
English: 34, math: 30, reading: 35, science: 34

Congrats to everyone! Where are all y’all high score achievers applying?

I have a 34 superscore, but I only have a 32 regular.

Who know schools in the top 100 that offer merit aid + superscore? Would be very helpful, thanks!

32 Composite!!

One of the best days of my life knowing this long struggle is over with. Three ACT’s later I finally got my 32.

Got a 33E, 32M, 32R, 30S.

Thought I bombed science but ended scoring a 30 which is my highest ever in science (once got a 24). Also, I had never scored higher than 30 on english but math was lower than normal. Reading was also a surprise (once got a 24).

The weirdest thing about all of this is that I never studied since the September test. All of my previous ACT’s, I studied crazy. Guess you don’t need to study.lolz

Best of luck to everyone trying to reach their scores. The struggle is real but you will get there in the end.

Composite: 34
Reading: 36
English: 35
Science: 35
Math: 30

Went from 27C in Sept to 31C in Oct. Don’t let anyone tell you it’s not possible to significantly raise your score in a short amount of time!! LOTS of practice tests and being less nervous the 2nd time around certainly helped. Significant improvement is possible!! :slight_smile: Taking it again in Dec but it’s nice to have the pressure off

@cravingivy try retaking it? try taking the SAT maybe you’ll score better on that?

How do people know how many questions they missed?? Is there a way to see this?

@zxcvbnm1216 the one I didn’t study for at all was my highest! I studied for a while for the June and October ones and did worse than the one I took in April.
