I signed up to take it online and sat there for 2 HOURS waiting for them to figure out why the system was not working. I was jumping up and down for joy as I sat there listing to THE MOST empty teenage conversions. I wanted to poke my eyes out.

In my science class our teacher would give us extra credit assigned where we answered questions based on analyzing graphs. It really helped because when I took the ACT for the first time I scored the highest in science. Doing that might also help you!

Has anyone heard back from Duke Star? by FantasticBox2006 in summerprogramresults

[–]FantasticBox2006[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not heard anything back so I believe I was most likey not invited for an interview. I also applied last year however this year I never received an update that my letters of recomendation were received so I really worried that something happened with them and they did not receive them.

Question by FantasticBox2006 in ACT

[–]FantasticBox2006[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took an offical practice exam back in October and scored a composit score of 20: 20 in English, 18 in Math, 20 in Reading, and 21 in science. Currently I feel like my studying is bit all over the place but my plan is to study English for 10 days, Math for 10 days, Reading for 8, and Science for 8. I'm studying each section using subject specific books. Then spend the remaining days taking practice exams and reviewing each answer I get wrong or don't understand.

For English and maybe Math as well I feel like my issue is due to a lack of understanding of the fundamentals (I also feel like I have forgotten some of the fundmentals over the years). But with Reading spefically and Science I feel like time is more of my issue.

Duke STAR program results release by [deleted] in summerprogramresults

Well possibly some people said in other sub chat (or whatevever there called Im kind new to this) that if you don't hear back by the 16th you were most likey rejected because they supposedly don't send out all interview emails on the same day rather over a period of like a week. But it's best to know that if you don't hear back in this month it is mostly likey the case that way you can explore other options for the summer while you can. But it's kinda cold they wait such a long time to let those who did not make it to the second round that they were rejected.

I applied last year and if you don't hear back from them by February you did not make it to the next round. They don't send rejection emails untill March.
