<p>with prep it shouldn't be that hard to raise to a 30.</p>
<p>Can someone help me. I need serious help with timing. I could not finish any of the sections on time. #1 probably because I didn't know what to expect heh. Anyways on math I got a 28. That's with guessing on 12-15 problems that I ran out of time. Time is such an issue.</p>
<p>Yeah, its mostly about practice and your prior ability. A lot of it is just the ability to figure out what type of problem it is, and attack it directly. If you have any hesitation about a problem, and you try to approach it in ever which way, your going to have a lot of trouble. Quite a few of my buddies couldn't finish the math and the science. </p>
<p>I wish I could tell you there is a clear cut strategy for me, but I think it has to do with how I have been taught since an early age.</p>
<p>The key is practice practice practice. Its hard to formulate a strategy about wide varieties of math problems.</p>
<p>Whew! Finally got the scores.</p>

<p>Two questions away from a 36! But this is still awesome.</p>
<p>I hate you guys. I need to do well by the December one or I am not getting into my top choice schools.</p>
<p>***. Choked on reading hard</p>
<p>2nd Try

<p>Wow didn't even improve much, only by 1 pt (adding all sections together) in the end.</p>

<p>dont know how i did so bad on english... oh well</p>
<p>I got a 35 on the math section, but my subscores were 18, 15, and 17</p>
<p>did that happen to anyone else?</p>
<p>I just want to shoot and kill all of you. I do not know why all of you even retake your scores. Do you have any idea how I feel? I am very solid all around until test scores come into the picture. Yeah omg 34 how did I mess up so bad.... You gotta be fricken kidding me.... Wow. Get a life. People like me want to get a 30 and it is very difficult. I am not good at these types of tests, it isnt fair damn it. Arhh I am so stressed out right now. No way in hell Tufts, Notre Dame, or Boston College will take me with my current score.</p>
<p>Jake, do not judge your scores based on what poeple got on this forum. A 26 is still decent because most people on this forum use this forum because they are good and like taking the ACT which will mean that they will get a good score.</p>
<p>Also, you should not judge other people by their scores. Some poeple are naturally good at the ACT.</p>
<p>35 Composite</p>
<p>34 English
36 Math
33 Reading
35 Science</p>
<p>If it makes you feel better, I have a 27 Composite (25 E / 28 M / 27 R / 27 Science). Was shooting for a 30, but oh well. I'm happy with mine</p>
<p>still kicks my score's ass though lol. Damn it. I need a 30 in December. Time to find a prep book and find a way to finish on time.</p>
<p>Getting a 26/27 whatever is still really good, look at the percentiles, it's in the range at a lot of really great schools. Good luck with Dec. =)</p>
<p>Composite - 32</p>
<p>English - 34
Math - 30
Reading - 35
Science - 27</p>
<p>I'm quite pleased. I almost decided to go back to sleep and not go take the test, but figured I might as well give it a shot, so I'm happy I did. Wish the Math and Sci were higher so that kills me just a teeny bit, since I just totally ran out of time on both, but oh well, I'm a humanities person anyway.</p>
<p>Composite-34</p>
<p>English- 34
Math- 31
Reading- 34
Science- 36</p>
<p>I'm really excited. I raised it from a 32 with no prep at all. I walked out thinking I had done really badly. So yeah, I'm really happy.</p>

<p>Up from a 33 (36 math, 36 reading, 35 sci, 26 Eng).</p>
<p>Why cant they use your best combination?!?!?!?!</p>
<p>when does act mail out scores? since my scores aren't in the database, i might just not pay for early viewing and wait for it in the mail. </p>
<p>act blows.</p>
<p>BOO HOO...why don't i have a pity party for the people retaking the ACT w/a 34...i can't understand it. I struggle with standardized tests, just got it back and got a 23...2nd time..1st i got a 25...and i'm within the top 8% at my school</p>
<p>GO figure lol</p>
<p>I can't believe people seriously think they NEED to improve on a 34 or a 33...it's almost rediculous...i mean, i know a 25 will get me nowhere even with all my other credentials which i believed were decent...but one damn test score ruins it all. oh well, i still think standardized tests are a conspiracy >:O</p>
<p>Guten abend</p>
<p>MechRocket, I'm in the same boat as you are. Sigh....
How ridiculous is this?!</p>
