What would you consider a good ACT score for an average student?

<p>My SSAT is 96% and ISEE is 9,9,8,and 9. I’m not going to apply Andover anymore. I can go to Ivy school without all those expensive private schools.</p>

<p>wastate - Expect rejections from everywhere but community colleges. Your highest math is Algebra I, you have no science classes, etc…You must be ■■■■■■■■ or something. If you aren’t, then work hard throughout HS and join us again in September of your Jr year.</p>

<p>I’ve done honor Algebra1 and honor geo. and are working on honor Algebra II/tri. @ University now.</p>

<p>lmao wastate… “OK”</p>

<p>A 29 composite is very mediocre, low by ivy league standards</p>

<p>Don’t skip high school. Frankly, it’s just ridiculous (unless you’re one of those super brilliant genius kids who won USAMO and Intel at age 14). And you’ll likely need more math than Algebra II/Trig (preferably at least AP Calc AB). Also, scoring in the 96th percentile on a standardized test isn’t impressive at all. There are plenty of kids who score in the 99th percentile on the SAT (2200 and above) who get rejected regularly from the Ivies.</p>

<p>Omg, it’s a ■■■■■. Fail guys, fail :p</p>

<p>1500 is average on the SAT i believe. I think 1700+ is a good score for the <em>average real life person</em></p>

<p>i doubt he’s a ■■■■■. the act can be taken at a young age. i have two sophomore friends who both earned a 33 on the ACT in middle school</p>

<p>Who wants to skip all of high school, even though he/she got rejected by Andover :rolleyes:</p>

<p>guys, I’m only 13 years old. Now, I learned from you guys that ACT 99% on reading, 96%-English, 95%-Math for a 8th grader really are not a big deal after all. Thanks for telling me the truth. I may take a science course, such as biology in summer for the fun of it.</p>

<p>^It really isn’t a big deal, and you will need a lot more academic preparation and more time to mature before “skipping high school.” My friend got a 35 when he was fourteen, but he never considered trying to go straight to college.</p>

<p>It’s good to know. By the time I am 14, my ACT score would be much higher than this one. I’m sure about it.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>It is and is not a big deal. Are you advanced for your age? Yes. Are you special? No.</p>

<p>There are plenty of people out their who are just as smart or smarter than you. All you have proven is that you can read, pick out grammatical mistakes, and do easy math. What else do you want us to say? You are venturing to the land of the overachievers. Since many of us did very well on the ACT, some of us at a young age, it will take a lot more than that to make us bow down and proclaim you genius.</p>

<p>Something for people in the top 1% to remember, there are 3 million people right up there with you in the US.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Well that’s depressing lol. </p>

<p>It’s like “You’re 1 in a million… which means there are 7,000ish more people exactly like you.” </p>

<p>Look, if you’re really getting a 29 in 8th grade then good job, keep up the good work! But don’t skip high school.</p>

<p>i think the ACT is easier than the SAT thats why so many peoople have 30+ on the sat, and Wastate you need a 2100 on the sat to go IVY or maybe a lil less</p>

<p>dont count on skipping HS just take dual credit courses in high school</p>

<p>Thank you guys, I like people tell me the truth. By the way, I just took SAT today, March 13th. I’ve got two acceptance letters for very good private schools; and passed the test for gifted public high school test. I’ll choose one of them for this fall. Thank you!</p>

<p>For firehose, fyi, I’m a genius, IQ-161 and a member of Mesa.</p>

<p>^Mensa is lame. Although I just barely made it in. I tested out of curiosity. But they don’t do anything really. </p>

<p>Anyway, read the article about the girl who went to Cambridge at 15 and is now a prostitute (I hope you really are a ■■■■■, if not I just corrupted some poor 13-year old)</p>
