Official September ACT Discussion Thread

<p>Hey guises, what about a 4 function calculator?</p>

<p>Got a 30 / 10 on my first ACT in June!
This time around:
Prediction: 32/33
Goal: 33/34
Will be satisfied with: 33
Will be done with ACts if I get a: 33
Comment: I hope reading and science will be OKAY this time around, hopefully the articles/stories are somewhat interesting. Oh, and I hope that there’s no tricky questions in E tomorrow!</p>

<p>Do we have any seniors here? I’d feel like an idiot if I’m the only senior.</p>

<p>oops its TI-89 not allowed anywho! guys good luck lol</p>

<p>I’m a senior, good luck guys!</p>

<p>Gl to all!!! I hope you get the scores that you want because I sure hope I do!</p>

<p>Good luck to all. I’m sooooooo glad I can ditch this test afterwards. High 5 to the seniors :D.</p>

<p>are ACT’s scored the way the back of the book in the Real ACT books table are scored?</p>

<p>or does it depend on every test???</p>

<p>^Depends on every test. But the curves shouldn’t be that different from what the red book has.</p>

<p>Do multiple choice scores appear first, then writing, or do I wait 5-8 weeks to see multiple choice and writing?</p>

<p>@ iphonehacker, multiple choice scores should be posted online on the 27th…writing scores will be available in a couple weeks after that</p>

<p>Goal: at least a 34
Prediction: 32-33
Will be satisfied with: 33 </p>

<p>If I get a 34, will try one more time for 35/36</p>

<p>Well, I can’t say that I’m satisfied with how I did. English and math were about as easy as I had anticipated. Reading and science were the ones that really threw me off. For reading, I read the whole passage and fell behind in the natural sciences section. In hindsight, I probably should have just skimmed the passage and gone to the questions. I think I need a new strategy for reading, but I just don’t know why science was so hard for me. I’m thinking 30-32 composite.</p>

<p>I feel the same way as you do, 25Squared</p>

<p>Got 31 last time
Prediction: 32/33
Goal: 33+
Will be satisfied with: 33+
Done: Now. This is the last time I can take it.</p>

<p>Gahhh I don’t even know what I got actually >-> Just please let it be at least 33 :[</p>

<p>I take that back. I browsed part of the answer discussions. Now I think I prolly got like a 28</p>

<p>Science: missed 3-5 =( (29-30?)
Math : missed 2-3 (33-34)
English: 1-2 (34-35)
Reading: 2-3 (33-34?)</p>

<p>hopefully 31 or above… I need that SMU presidential scholarship! lol</p>

<p>I need a 34+ for a good shot at BA/MD programs. Right now, I am at a 33.5, thus a 34. I can’t mess up. Of course, I can retake in october for a last shot, but i just want to be done with this thing.</p>

<p>what did you guys write for the essay?</p>

<p>ps. today was my first time. I really hope i did well cuz im a senior and dont really have another shott!</p>

<p>^you have october and november if you are doing regular decision. You have plenty more shots.</p>
