<p>I am pretty sure my 23 in math is disgusting.<br>
<3</p>
<p>I am in Trig, but also a college algebra class. If my math would have been a 35 again I would have had the 32.</p>
<p>Wow, some impressive classes..</p>
<p>And, inguyen, I'm in the same boat. Mine dropped 5 pts from practice tests! I want to hurl when I think about it. That's okay... horaay for upcoming good math scores in June!</p>
<p>I got my scores a couple of days ago but I was too disappointed to put them up.</p>
<p>English 34 +0
Math 29 +1
Reading 31 +0
Science 30 +1
Composite 31 (same as last time)</p>
<p>I seriously thought I'd done better but I hope to retake it in June and achieve my goal.</p>
<p>I got a 11 on my essay!!!....my strategy write 3 pages long worth of BS</p>
<p>How'd you get it?</p>
<p>I mean how did you find out? Is it up online?</p>
<p>online! ! !</p>
<p>English - 35
Math - 32
Reading - 34
Science - 26
Composite - 32</p>
<p>I'm absolutely sick of the science section screwing me over. This has happened before too. I just want a 33 to get into the honors program for engineering at Illinois but my science drags me down to a 32. Without the science my average would be 34 and I could be done with this test taking crap...sigh...</p>
<p>Well if it makes you feel any better the science on the 8th was harder than usual. Brush up on finding things in the charts fast, and don't waste time reading the passage unless it asks specifically. Best of luck, you'll get it!!</p>
<p>Well, I can't take the ACT again this year. I'm leaving for India on June 5th so I can't take the June 10th test. Fortunately, I live in Illinois where taking the ACT is mandatory to graduate so everyone in the state gets a free ACT test on April 26th (along with the useless PSAE test the next day). I felt I did well in that but I won't know the scores until the beginning of June. I really hope my science was better. Just a 29 would have gotten me a 33 on the April 8th test.</p>
<p>i do good on science but bad on the reading 27 on it the last time</p>
<p>Oh, well I really hope you got the score you wanted... <em>fingers crossed</em>. I did hear that the science part on the 26th was significantly easier than that on the 8th.</p>
<p>Vandy, you have several times mentioned how one subject on one test was harder than another as if that means it's harder to get a higher score. But the raw scores for each test are converted differently, so that the scoring is easier if the test questions are harder. So what are you basing these statements on, and are you accounting for the score conversion adjustment?</p>
<p>Composite- 31
Reading- 32
Math- 25
English- 32
Science- 30
Writing- 8</p>
<p>I did pretty horrible on the ACT, a 24 composite score....But my writing was 10 !</p>
<p>Holy crap, I actually did better on this one than compared with the SAT!</p>
<p>My essay was pretty good as the proctor actually let us know when we had 5 minutes left, so I had about 3.5 pages worth of really philosophical writing.</p>
<p>Overall composite:34
Can't remember the specifics but the writing essay was 12. </p>
<p>Good luck to all those who are still waiting to get theirs!</p>
<p>I FINALLY got my scores in the mail today. Sheesh, talk about cutting it close.. 3 days left until the next ACT test deadline.</p>
<p>E: 35
M: 27
R: 29
S: 23 (!!!)
Composite: 29</p>
<p>I can say i'm pleasantly surprised by the English. But that's it. All of my test scores were higher on practice tests for the other subjects. A 29 is better than I had expected on that test though with everything that went wrong. The science score was awful - much much lower than on practice tests.</p>
<p>Essay: 5 :( "Your essay responded to the prompt by taking a clear position on the issue. Your essay used some specific details, reasons, and examples, but it needed more of them. Your essay focused on general topics rather than on a specific issue in the prompt". I guess i'm just screwed in that regard.. I wrote my butt off to get it all written in time, and I didn't have time to include anymore details.</p>
<p>Don't understand why I was graded so low on the Essay <em>sigh</em>. It was well organized and stated two prime examples, elaborating (some) on each of them. Also included a retort to the 'other side' of the argument at the end. Being stuck in the 4% percentile for writing hurts bad... Starting to wonder if it's like someone else said where it's more quantity over quality: "write 3 pages full of garbage and they'll score you high"</p>
<p>My Reading subscores are a little odd.</p>
<p>Reading: 29
Social Studies/Sciences: 17 (99% percentile)
Arts/Literature: 12 (66% percentile)</p>
<p>I'm assuming Arts/Literature is the prose fiction and humanities passages. I think I might revise my strategy on those for next time. On the April test, I skipped reading all of the passages and went right to the questions. That seems to work best for the science-type passages which are filled with tons of back-references. The prose/humanities on the other hand appear to be filled with more inferences which can be tough to decipher without reading the passages.</p>
<p>i don't know how they grade the essay. A kid in my english class who cannot write and get's B's and C's on all his papers got a 12 on the essay.</p>
