<p>35 Composite. 1st Time Taker. With a 35, I got into 10 of my 11 schools: Pitt, Loyola-Chicago, Michigan, Northeastern ohio Universities colleges of medicine (accelerated BS/MD program), Carnegie Mellon, Vanderbilt, Case Western, Northwestern, Johns Hopkins, and Duke. Matriculated to Duke.</p>
<p>I got a 35 on english, but a 10 on my essay. I guess they liked mine =]</p>
<p>I got a 29 my first time in April and I’m taking it again in June and hoping to get at least a 32, although a 33 or 34 is more what i’d like. I was wondering if it was rare to raise it that much and what youd suggest me to study with or how to study. Thanks</p>
<p>first time i took it (8th grade) got a like 25?
then second time i took it (freshman) got like a 27
then third time i took it (sophomore) 34.25! with an 11 essay!
i guess studying helps…

This is so ironic because in school, math and science are my best subjects!</p>
<p>Anyone know if there’s a curve for this test? and how big it is if there is one?
because i really want to get a 32 or 33 on my June ACT and I want to know how realistic that goal is.</p>

<p>I heard that 55% of students who retake the ACT get a better composite score. I think the #1 thing you can do is get more practice. The first time I took it, I missed a whole section of reading/science cause I didn’t pace myself and I PANICKED! Obviously for those who take it the first time, it’s harder to work with “time management.” </p>
<p>Eventually, you’ll get the hang of it and improve. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE IN JUNE!!!</p>
<p>34, no prep or anything which was probably a bad move
(I had no idea there was a science section hahaha! that was such a joke, I looked at the problems and laughed and filled in random answers)</p>

<p>im happy but should have done better on math and science. I am skipping a grade in math and it along with science is my strongest subject. I feel like I should have been able to get 35 but I will happily take 34.</p>

<p>one point away from 36…grrrr</p>
<p>I got a 34 composite with no prep…but a 29 math.</p>
<p>If I 800 the Math II Sat Subject will the 29 be “overlooked”, or should I take it again?</p>
<p>I dont think most colleges look at the subscores of the ACT. Very few schools superscore the ACT, so im not sure how much the subscores are looked into. Besides, a 34 composite is pretty great.</p>

<p>I have this problem where I took Algebra II, Geometry and Precalc back in 8th grade and my freshman year and now it’s coming to bite me in the ass…Seriously, I finished AP Calc as a sophomore with a 5 on the AP Test, but I can’t even break 30 on the ACT? It’s the same deal with the SAT too… Do I just need to practice these problems more?</p>

<p>Im happy with my score (nothing special though, cuz it corresponds exactly with my SAT). I’m really nervous about the essay though, cuz i felt the topic was childish and i couldn’t go anywhere with it. im gonna retake again in sept, hopefully pull a 33-34 composite and a better essay. then ill retake the sat in nov (got 680 m, 680 w, 600 cr)</p>
<p>Dave, what do you mean they correspond? Your 30 is around a 2020-2050 percentile wise… Compared to a 1960, that’s a fairly large difference. Keep going with the ACT as it’s your better test.</p>
