<p>I don't know why I'm so bad at science... I do the best in my school science classes!!
What is my super score? Is it worth re-taking?</p>
<p>Where do you want to go? How much merit aid are you hoping to get? For most schools, your score is fine, but pending how competitive you want to be at highly selective places the decision could be different.</p>
<p>Rofl. Let me get this straight. You scored a 36 on the English section, yet you just wrote the most atrocious forum post I’ve ever seen in terms of grammar and cohesion. Incredible. People that are getting low 20s can construct a much more thorough and fluent sentence than you.</p>
<p>^^Actbrah, why don’t you get over yourself, spend as much time studying as you do putting others down, and try to get a high score yourself? By putting others down you really are making a name/personality for yourself, but it’s not one the vast majority of people would be proud to have. Every post I read from you makes me think less of you and that you got the score you deserved (academics aside).</p>
<p>Your superscore (rounded up) would be a 33. That’s a pretty decent score. It would depend on what colleges you are looking at. I suggest going to the websites of the schools you want to apply to to look at the mid 50% test score ranges. Also, check if your schools will accept superscores.</p>
<p>Creekland, perhaps you have taken my posts at face value. I’m unpretentiously pointing out the ■■■■■■ that infest this forum with their calumnies to legitimate ACT students. The originators of the ACT intended for those that scored the highest on this test to be the best and brightest in society. Unfortunately, this forum proves this motive wrong. Those that “scored” at or above the 90th percentile can not erect a sentence without numerous grammatical errors. Moreover, these same ACT idealists exhibit the vocabulary of a 13-year old girl texting. Conceivably the juxtaposition comparison in my previous sentence may seem extreme, but I have never seen any of these perfectionists write a coherent sentence.</p>
<p>Anecdotally, this forum contains ubiquitous posts of “Is my 34 ACT score good enough to get into my state university?” The question remains of these students is are they not smart enough to use google? It’s displeasing to know that these “innovative” pioneers will be our next political and business leaders, yet I digress. In conclusion and to reiterate my thesis, I’m calling out the ■■■■■■.</p>
<p>Sincerely,
36ACTbrah :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not really. Instead, you are being a ■■■■■.</p>
<p>Chances are, many of these students posting used Google to find this forum and are using this site to edify themselves. Not everyone has knowledgeable parents or a GC to assist them with their college search. Even if they do, those same people might have suggested looking at this site. No one is born with the knowledge of what it takes to get into college. Everyone has to learn at some point. The most effective way to learn is to ask people who have been there, done that or who are more knowledgeable.</p>
<p>What you are doing is being like the “teacher” (and I use that word loosely in this case) who berates someone for asking a “stupid question.” I far prefer those who admit that there is no such thing as a stupid question (as long as one is on topic).</p>
<p>Your mannerism, new ID, and style of writing makes me assume you are a recent poster who was upset at having a low ACT score and would like to feel you are “just as smart” or “smarter” than those who scored higher. Your postings are creating the opposite reaction to those of us reading. If you spent half the time reviewing or studying for the ACT you’d likely get a higher score.</p>
<p>And, if my assumption is incorrect, your postings are still identifying you as a ■■■■■ and one few colleges would want if they connect your mannerisms to your name - even if you were to have a 36 (highly doubtful).</p>
<p>The science section really isn’t science, per se. It’s an “observe the trends” test, if that makes sense. If you can, try to find an ACT tutor that can work with you on the science section. If tutoring isn’t an option, take as many practice science tests as you can get your hands on. You’ll notice that there are patterns to the way the test is structured.</p>
<p>32 is an excellent score and should get you a nice sum of merit aid. Nonetheless, I would retake the test just to see if you can get a higher score.</p>
<p>Also, ACT does not super score. Sorry, I know that’s a bummer.</p>
<p>Hope this helps!</p>
<p>I bet that 36actbrah scored in the low 20’s. And I guarantee that he used a thesaurus to come up with big words that meant what he actually wanted to say for that post.</p>
<p>Creekland, it’s true, exemplary students who scored well above the national average can easily stumble across this website with a quick Google search–but to vainly ask whether their score in the 100th percentile is good enough is egotistic and disdainful of one’s self. The ACT challenges students to think critically and to approach topics with a 360 degree (2pi radians) view. These students that come on here are either completely blind or possess tunnel-vision. This is exactly what the ACT did not intend for students. Those that scored the highest should be at the apex of society in terms of critical thinking. Unfortunately, this is not the case.</p>
<p>I don’t condemn inane questions. In fact, I welcome them wholly. But an inane question along with arrogance ought to be chided. When you ask a teacher a simple question such as, “What is science,” do you first list the teacher all your perfect test scores from previous science classes to prove your worth? Absolutely not.</p>
<p>khh594, drat! You caught me. I’m sorry I confused you with my eclectic vocabulary. Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with these big boy words, as it’s what the Juggernaut students at Harvard, Princeton, and Yale use in their sleep. But then again, why am I talking to you pathetic noobs that scored 32s. Your sentences spew blunders and are full of errors.</p>
<p>Love,
36ACTbrah</p>
<p>Ha, you’re pathetic.</p>
<p>khh594, absolutely nothing to back your statement up? No wonder you’re stuck at the score of 33. So what did you put for the writing section? Did you just write one sentence that said, “I’m confident and therefore I’ll get a good score!” </p>
<p>36ACTbrah</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Would you like us to point out your errors in this post? ;)</p>
<p>You can start with realizing a 32 is not in the 100th percentile (nor is any score). If you’re interested in writing, people are referred to with the word, “who” not “that.”</p>
<p>In general, you ought to realize EVERYONE makes basic grammatical errors when talking and typing.</p>
<p>And no, students do not necessarily have to realize that top scores are “good enough” for various schools. Again, people are not born with this type of knowledge. It’s learned. A 32 isn’t even “good enough” for the top of the top schools. It’s marginal. Would one mention their test scores to a teacher? Perhaps, if they were in a situation about to study with a new teacher and letting them know their credentials - eerily similar to asking about colleges one would qualify for.</p>
