<p>So I got a 35 on my first ACT test.</p>
<p>Breakdown:</p>
<p>English: 36
Mathematics: 34
Reading: 35
Science: 35</p>
<p>(Weird Math score, I'm currently taking multivariable calculus, took Calc BC freshman year)</p>
<p>Anyways, I just went in and took it, didn't even see the format of the test before.</p>
<p>Do you guys think I should take it again and shoot for the 36? Of course, I'll look over a book or two if I do this.</p>
<p>I think you definitely have a shot at a 36 if you get to understand the test better and maybe take some practice tests. I think you should retake it.</p>
<p>^I agree, you should retake if you’re sure of a 36 next time (after practice).</p>
<p>Why would you not?</p>
<p>Btw, you might have scored lower in Math than you expected because you might have lost familiarity with more basic topics like Algebra, Geometry, etc.</p>
<p>As to why I would not - well, I am a Junior and I have APs and stuff. Additionally, I want to get out to Africa this summer to work on my Swahili. </p>
<p>However, the 36 looks very very promising. I guess I’ll flip a coin tonight with my family and see what the result is.</p>
<p>LightSource - I also think this might be the case, I would definitely go over basic math. </p>
<p>ACTSeeker - Thank you, if I do decide to retake it, I will definitely look at some practice tests and the like.</p>
<p>Take it in June before summer starts ; ). Good luck!</p>
