<p>"Is it worth the 8 bucks to see what I got?"</p>
<p>I would pay $50 if it was necessary : )</p>
<p>Well, I caved...</p>

<p>First time. Is that good enough for the Ivies or should I retake it in October?</p>
<p>^ Those are excellent scores and I will be delighted if I get similar scores. whether or not you should retake is your sole judgment.</p>
<p>For the ivies, you're definitely within range (I believe most ivies mid 50% ranges usually are 30-34). If you want a stronger app, give it another shot. I'm sure many other applicants will be trying two or three times, so don't limit yourself. Still, that's a great score.</p>
<p>When do you usually get the mailed results?</p>
<p>Anyone know what the curve was yet?</p>
<p>Composite 35</p>
<p>Eng: 35
Reading:36
Math:35
Science: 34</p>
<p>pretty darn happy</p>
<p>I, too, would like to know when I will be able to get the mailed results with the writing portion.</p>
<p>im pretty sure that is good enough for ivies, but the rest of the application is based on your essay and e.c</p>
<p>Just received my score, 30, and believe it or not, I am actually happy that I barely made it to the 30s. A big part of testing is mental preparation and focus, and I must admit I lacked in this aspect. Since I was assigned to a small town in pennsylvania, I had to pack up and drive from NJ at 3am, arriving there 5 min late. During the exam, I remember holding in the urge to run for the bathroom during the last two sections and constantly worring that I would have a difficult time finding my father,who drove me there, once the test was over. So, given the circumstances, I'm glad with the act experience. I was disappointed about not getting a 36 on the Eng section, which seemed like a breeze. Upon seeing a 27 for science, I wanted to grab the nearest sharp object and gouge my eyes so further misery would be spared: I didn't expect much, but I thought luck was on my side... The 31 for reading was ok since I virtually guessed every question for that devious whirlwind passage. In the end, All's well.</p>
<p>Can anyone comment whether a 30 would be enough for public universities like UT austin and penn state?</p>
<p>Thank you very much and good luck to everyone.</p>
<p>Finally got my scores this morning. </p>
<p>Composite: 33
English: 31 (Kinda perplexed by this! Usage: 18/18 and Rhet: 14/18... Anyone in the same situation about eng?)
Math: 35 (Stupid trig question with 4 answers!) lol
Reading: 29 (Expected...)
Science: 36 (Not so expected....woot!)</p>
<p>I went up from a 32 in June, so not too big a diff, but I was just looking to go up. I'm pretty satisfied. Anyone hear of a 36 yet?</p>
<p>Can someone explain what it means to get the scores hand graded?</p>
<p>Chet, I had the exact partition for english and got a 31 as well. Is this unusual?</p>
<p>JSB,
No one will know what the curve was. The September test isn't released.</p>
<p>If you pay the fee and have your score hand graded, is it possible that the new scores might be actually lower?</p>
<p>Another 33. No big deal. I really only took the test because the last one I took was without writing (state testing.)</p>

(R&S might've been the other way around, I don't remember.)</p>
<p>It's creepy how my subscores stayed the same.</p>
<p>Is there any way to get test question-answer booklets back if you want to see what you missed? Because I have no idea how I only got a 30 on english...</p>
<p>Got my scores this morning; 35 composite. I don't know whether to be happy that I got a 35 (I foolishly went into the test cold and felt I did poorly afterwards) or upset that I already threw down $50 to take the test again.</p>
<p>omg are you f****ing kidding me? you are upset about a 35? gosh, get a life. that is an amazing score.</p>
<p>I'll bet you got like a 12 on reading because you definitely did not properly interpret my post.</p>
<p>I am kidding, but seriously, reread my post. I am upset with having spent $50 to register for the October test because I do not need to test again, not with having earned a 35.</p>
