<p>I'm not sure if the statements on the essay are generic. I got a 10. Here's what it says:</p>
<p>"General statements in your essay were well supported with specific reasons, examples, and details. Some varied sentence structures and precise word choice added clarity and interest to your writing."</p>
<p>I'm sure however it is probably something they repeat often and isn't something that is specific to your essay. (Or it probably does relate to your essay, but it is just a canned response the essay grader probably chooses from a list)</p>
<p>Your essay showed recognition of the complexity of the issue by partially evaluating its implications.</p>
<p>I never really took a side in the essay, or if any, I said that computer use should be allowed in moderation, citing that although it's easier to cheat using a computer, now and in the near future, we will all be using computers to look up information, and being able to use the internet will be a necessary skill to function in society.</p>
<p>I got the same exact message you did on my last essay in June and got a 9 on that one. So I'm assuming these messages are canned messages they select from a list that pertain to your essay.</p>
<p>Apparently, science was mad hard this test because the 99th percentile extends all the way down to a 32. Reading, the 99th percentile goes down to a 33. Does this happen every test, or is it because this month's questions were significantly harder?</p>
<p>So apparently, for everyone who didn't do as well as expected on the science section, you're not the only ones probably. I was a bit disappointed with my 30 science at first because I was aiming for a 35 (science has always been my strongest subject) but then I realized a 30 hits the 97 percentile. Woah...</p>
<p>This thread makes me wonder if this whole college discussion site has only been found by slightly smarter individuals than the average. I see alot of composites that are over the 90th percentile. Not bad all</p>
<p>It's because the average individual doesn't necessarily search nor care for college discussion sites. Or it could be that those that have scores that aren't as good as some of these people's 36's are just afraid to post theirs. Just my opinion...</p>
<p>sorry one more question. If i was to sign up for the Dec 8th ACT date would i have to have the ACT automatically send scores to colleges of my choice in order for them to receive them by Jan 1st or would i have time to view the scores and then decide and be able to send them on my own?</p>
<p>hmm..I sent might right after I got my composite from the 4 sections..I didn't wait on my essay score (not sure if it's there, the system is down now). Since they probably haven't processed it yet, they should still send my writing too, right?</p>
<p>It says on their website that they won't send your score report until your writing score is available, so yes, if your's is not yet up, they will wait before they mail your report.</p>
