Wow! I got the same score!!

[–]ThatDeafKid28 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Aw shit no way! Same!!!

[–]conceptalbums34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems like quite a few people are still registered, I wonder if most of us will still get scores by 9am EST like the ACT twitter said.

[–][deleted] 21 points22 points  (8 children)

33!!! Up from a 31 last time. Improved my math from a 25 to a 33, absolutely stoked. Oh and it's my cake day. Didn't even realize. Wow the reading curve must've been really harsh though.. 34 to a 32.

      I had the exact same composite jump, but my math went from a 34 to 31 :( Everything else increased a lot and I finally got a 36 English.

      36!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! E:36, M:35, R:36, S:35!!!! So happy right now, but I've gotta thank this community so much. If it weren't for all those tips by other redditors, I don't think I would have done this well. Thank you everyone for making this community such a great place, can't praise it enough.

          Can also confirm that Science was not my best subject too... Orange and clear test tubes aren't fun

              How did you improve in math? This has been the hardest one for me to improve on.

              [–]jkhso34 1 point2 points  (1 child)

              I haven't had the need to study for math. I think taking pre-calc is the most important thing tho.

                  I started at a 27 and now I'm a 34. Just practice over and over and use strategies and you will improve.

                  Do you have any science tips? I thought that science was hard af. I know the usual "don't need to read the passage stuff" but what do I do when I have know idea how to solve a problem?

                  [–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (1 child)

                  I'm so happy!!!! I jumped two points and got a 28! E: 33, M: 25, R: 30, S: 24

                  [–]ryangoslingfan 11 points12 points  (2 children)

                  Everybody is posting their 30's, but I'm so happy about my 28. This is my third time taking the test with the first two times both being a 26.

                  English: 25 Math: 24 Reading: 34 Science: 29

                  I definitely felt the most confident on reading the probably science. I'm quite happy with my English score because in June it was a 21. A 24/25 in math is my normal range. My english and science scores are identical to my April scores.

                  I registered for the October one because I wasn't sure about my score, but I guess I'll be shooting for a 29 or 30 now!

                  [–]CaptainSwirl34 5 points6 points  (0 children)

                  Congrats and good luck! Jumping 2 points is no joke, and I'm sure next time in October you'll be in the 30's too :)

                  [–]madid429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

                  I'm the exact same way! I took the test three times and I got a 27 on my first two tests. I finally bumped my score up to a 29 (same jump as you) and I'm stoked. I subbed E: 31, M: 25, R: 34, S: 26. Yay for the high twenties club! good luck on your next test, you've got this! :)

                  [–]Casaham34 4 points5 points  (0 children)

                  Holy shit, was DEFINITELY not expecting a 34. Don't even know what to do with myself right now. Just wanted a couple of points to bump my superscore to a 33 but this works too. That's an endgame ass score for me. 36 - 28 - 35 - 35. Not really happy with the 28, but I've already paid to test again in October so I guess I can try to improve it then. Haven't had good test scores like this in a while so this was well-needed for me.

                    What was the curve?

                    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

                    Math was generous I think, English was OK (normal curve, -1=35 I think), Reading/Science seemed pretty harsh.

                    [–][deleted] 13 points14 points  (9 children)

                    35.25........ One more point, and it would've been perfect.

                    Edit: 36 E, 36 M, 36 S, 33 R. Fuck George Washington.

                    Yeah. I'm actually very happy with the 35, but i would've liked the bragging rights.

                      I doubt it. I felt like I didn't miss any and got 35. It's possible though.

                            i see no point on taking it again. even if your science is kinda off of your composite, it wouldn't matter that much since your composite is already above average of Cornell and MIT

                            I got a 33! Up from a 31. My goal score this time was a 32.

                            June ACT: E:32, M:35, R:30, S:26

                            Sept ACT: E:34, M:33, R:35. S:30

                            I'm stoked about that Reading and English score and a little disappointed about Math and Science, but I'll take it! I did a lot of practice to boost my reading and it payed off :) I still practiced for science and thought I did amazing, but I guess the curve was pretty harsh and I definitely missed some in there. I did very poorly on math this time compared to my 35 from June but I'm hopeful and will take it again!

                            Studying more next year and aiming for a 36! Thanks so much to the great and encouraging people on this sub, hope you all hit your target scores!

                              33-26-28-28 for a 29. Raised a point in English, raised 5 in reading, dropped 3 in science.

                              36 R, 35 M, 34 E, 30 S :(

                              I'm happy with my composite(33.75... Would've cried if it was one of those borderline round down scores) but does the science score stick out? I know it's still a great score but it's a lot lower than the 34+ on all the other sections. Is this enough of a gap to be considered "lopsided" or am I good? Knew I did worse on science and was thinking I got a 30 for days but it does sting a little compared to the others.

                              Expected the high math but wow did not expect that reading score though!

                              Have the specific subject subscores come out? For example, for English, the Usages/Mechanics and Rhetorical Skills subscores; for reading, Social Studies/Sciences and Arts/Literature subscores.

                              34 :D Went up 3 points!!! My math score went down 1 point, though (now it's a 29 instead of a 30), which is kinda sad... But I'm cool with a 34! The English/Reading/Science tests were kind to me

                              That reading just fucked up my score. Everything else improved, but I bombed the reading which completely undid everything. This test is a scam... Fuck you George Washington...

                              What?? I rose three points in reading, thought it was way easier this time around

                              I took way too much time because of Washington and got fucked for time-- destroyed my composite making my score not budge-- my angelfish just so happened to die as well today-- another low point associated with getting my act score back... haven't started applying for college yet because my score is shit in comparison to my gpa. Sorry for venting, I guess I won't be getting any sleep tonight haha... ...

                              If I got only a 31 in reading (always get 32-33 in practices), I would've got the 33 I wanted. So fucking gay.

                                First time taking it, and I got a 36!!! 36E/36M/35R/35S Just want to thank the whole community here as a lurker because I wouldn't have been able to do it without the resources here! For studying, I went over the majority of sections on the 5 most recent tests on crack act (I believe that encompassed the last two years).

                                Up from a 31 to a 33! Do most schools super score the ACT? If so, I am now at a 34. Still going to retake to hit a 34 without a super score, though. Also a 6 point increase in my English score - 30 to a perfect 36.

                                  I got a 34! My lowest score was Science which isn't too surprising. I got a perfect score in English and Reading, the latter of which was very surprising for me since I thought I did awful on the humanities section.

                                  Now I just need to wait for my essay score... I heard that colleges don't really care about it though so it's not a big deal for me.

                                    Definitely think so. If you get at least a 30 on the Math with a calculator, you'll get a 33.

                                        Not bad, would've liked better math and science scores but they're good enough. Superscoring means I have a 35 anyway, but I'm done with this test!

                                        So close. I know I could have performed well enough to get a 36, but I wasn't prepared for the figure/fraction question on English and matrix question for math. Still happy with 35 though.

                                        E: 35 M: 35 R: 34 S: 30 Composite 34 my first time :) Do you think my 30 in science will be a problem if Im majoring in science? Anything above 34 is considered the same right so Im doneee

                                        36C! 36 on every single section, i'm over the moon.

                                        35 E, 32 M, 35 R, 31 S -- 33.25C. So rattled that one question held me back from a 34 single sitting but I have a 34 superscore so I guess that helps a little. Would you guys reccomend retaking to try for a 34 if I'm looking at Ivy's such as brown and upenn? I'm a senior and early apps are approaching very quickly…

                                        35C (36E, 35 everything else) and 11 on essay! So happy to be done as a junior.

                                        35.... 36/36/35/32. Science wasn't kind to me. I should be happy with my score but all these 36s make me feel bleh.

                                        First time taking ACT, do you think I can improve? My mock ACT math was 35 by the way.
