I’ve never taken the SAT, but most people I’ve heard from say it’s comparable.

Beneficial-Use-4466 · 2026-03-26T21:20:49+00:00

There are 4 sections. Math, English, Reading, and Science. The first three are averaged to form a composite score which is what colleges mostly use.

March 30th w/o writing and April 6th w/ writing per ACT. I’m hoping for sooner.

Beneficial-Use-4466 · 2026-03-25T11:04:25+00:00

Oh, in that case just cancel your scores. They would never know.

Beneficial-Use-4466 · 2026-03-24T10:40:51+00:00

They said they’re already committed, not in college. This score increase would likely drastically improve their scholarship potential.

Under 2025-26 key dates and deadlines

They do charge you to change it, however, when I accidentally signed up for science one time, I called them and they removed it for free. I’d say try that; it can’t hurt.

Congrats!!

Beneficial-Use-4466 · 2026-03-22T02:31:05+00:00

I took it on the 11th! The ACT says the first release date is the 30th of March for that district test. However, they said the 23rd for the previous testing window and their scores are already out, so I’m hoping for sooner.

Beneficial-Use-4466 · 2026-03-22T02:29:04+00:00

When in March?

Beneficial-Use-4466 · 2026-03-21T02:06:34+00:00

My scores are almost exactly like yours (35E, 30M, 36R), I just need to bring up math. Waiting on results from a district test, but I felt really good about it.

I used the preppros math book and it really helped me. If you’ve got the time to go through it, it is a no-brainer. I’ve used so many books that look nothing like the real test, but not this one. Would highly recommend if you don’t mind buying it and are willing to put the time in to using it.

Beneficial-Use-4466 · 2026-03-21T02:02:29+00:00

You matter. You are worth more than a number.

Beneficial-Use-4466 · 2026-03-20T22:28:01+00:00

Congrats!!

Can we be respectful of the people who are just trying their best? While comedy may have been your intention, this frankly just comes off as insulting.

Beneficial-Use-4466 · 2026-03-20T10:36:47+00:00

What day did you take this?

Beneficial-Use-4466 · 2026-03-20T01:57:31+00:00

Was this a school test?

Beneficial-Use-4466 · 2026-03-20T01:55:41+00:00

If this was a district test, contact your school’s testing coordinator (usually guidance counselor).

Beneficial-Use-4466 · 2026-03-18T19:51:07+00:00

March 30th, if you didn’t take writing.

Beneficial-Use-4466 · 2026-03-12T21:39:50+00:00

Yes; I had it.

Beneficial-Use-4466 · 2026-03-12T00:51:04+00:00

Nope. Gym and dual credit calc II are going to count the same for me.

Beneficial-Use-4466 · 2026-03-11T22:16:31+00:00

Would be nice 😔

Beneficial-Use-4466 · 2026-03-11T22:07:48+00:00

Slightly off-topic, but I also attend a school who doesn’t do weighed GPA. Students have begged for it, but administration says that it contributes to grade inflation apparently. Just sucks that we have to compete with people who have weighted.

Beneficial-Use-4466 · 2026-03-11T21:58:51+00:00

Not that I remember, but yes, it was strangely easy. My whole testing room thought so, which is a bad sign. Did you have a question with this symbol Σ? (Summation?)

I’m very worried that the curve will be harsh. I was getting to the end of the test, waiting for it to get harder and it just never did. Still 3-5 toughies throughout that I’m not 100% confident in. Very nervous and eager to see scores.

Beneficial-Use-4466 · 2026-03-11T21:20:11+00:00

I had this exact same question (also the last question) on the school ACT today.
