ACT Scores

Post by **pixel** » Thu Jul 01, 2004 9:24 am

English: 23
Math: 23
Reading: 29
Science: 27
Overall: 26

I can get $4,000 with this score, but I think I'll be heading back to do my testing again.

Not bad, what grade are you in?

Entering my senior year
I'm sure if I studied (ie Cared) or actually got a good night's sleep, I could have gotten higher.

when i took it i liked it a lot more than the SATs. most colleges say 25 as the minimum 'high score' to get in or whatever. You should try taking it again (you have plenty of time) and see if you can get 30. it shouldnt be too bad.

I just took them earlier the year and just got my scores back a week ago. English is always what gets me.

My lowest scores were in English on the SAT, SATII and the ACT.

English: 24
Mathematics: 31
Reading: 29
Science: 26
Overall: 28

Supposedly I did pretty well, but I was hoping to get around 29 or 30.

I got a 19 the first time I took it, but that was way back in 7th grade (I was 12 or something?) as part of Duke University's Talent Identification Program. I haven't taken the ACT since. I did take the ACT Plan test or whatever, but it is x/32 instead of x/36. I got a 27, which roughly equals about a 30 if I had taken the ACT. I want to take the ACT again, but I believe I missed the signups for the summer testings...

Around here, as long as you take the packet and registration with you to a testing site, you can be a "walk-in" and take it.

full...scholarshop...with a 30

I wish I could get any sort of a scholarship, but my grade point is kinda...blah (3.1). Well, at least I don't have to take my ACT junior year, but people say I should take the SAT

Some places do. I finished top my class and got nothing. Im going into soooo much debt for college.

Wouldn't it make sense to give more to the poorer performers so that they can use it to benefit their education?

Then again, that's sort of how it work in my school - but in the end they got all the best computers, as much tea and biscuits as they could consume in an hour, regular trips to theme parks and cheese factories.

The school occasionally pimped them out to building sites as cheap manual labour - no doubt preparing them for the next forty or so years of their life - and I doubt they managed to gain even half a dozen GCSEs between them.

Alright then, maybe it's best to just give up on the no-hopers

.

It's just a shame no such scheme exists over here...
