ACTs!
Boredom ensues during my summer! D:
Anywho, with the coming of school (damn you, August 17th!), I'm curious.
What was your ACT scores? Any experience/nervousness with taking the ACTs?
I took the ACT last year (Sophomore), made a 26! WOOO!
Discuss, dear EoFFers!
My ACT was 0 because I didn't take it. I took the SAT instead which is four hours of my life I want back.
It's been a long time since I took mine D: /old
I got a 29, which I promptly decided was too low. So I retook it the next year and got a 31, which I was happier with.
I got a 33, which happened to be the top of my school that year. The guy who got a 32, a sorta-friend of mine, was pissed XD.
One of the years I took it there was a guy at my school who got a... 35, I think? Yeah, I have no idea what gods he was praying to that gave him that.
I heard that if you get a 35 or 36 composite score, you had to take it all over because they assume you cheated.
My best subject, btw, was Science. I got a 35 in it. My worst was reading, I think, where I got a 30. Also, I got a 7 on my essay XD
I took both the SAT and the ACT, but I don't remember my SAT score. I think the ACT I got a 31 total...and somehow I scored really low on the math portion (which I always did great on during practice tests), but got a 35 on the english portion (which I always did worst on the practice tests) *shrug* No idea how that happened...
My younger brother has always done better than me on exams though...I think he scored perfect or almost perfect on his SAT a few years ago.
I got a...24 I think? I did good to okay in everything but Writing. In Writing I got a 2, the lowest possible score. Because by the time I got to the writing portion I'd been in there for like three and a half hours or something and I was like, "what do I think of extra-curriculars?...uhh...okay here goes. 'We should have school clubs and sports because they're beneficial to the educational experience. It would be kind of dumb to cancel them. I mean, football pays for itself.' Okay can I go home now?"
Good thing most colleges ignore your writing score (but still require you to take that portion for some reason).
I scored a 1460 on the SAT, and then, at my college counselor's insistence, I also took the ACT. I scored a 32, which, when roughly equated to SAT scores, was right around... a 1460.
I was not particularly pleased.
I got a 32, but that was a million years ago.
I have never heard of this happening. I got a 35 and no one ever made me retake it. I can't remember which section dragged down my score, though, because it was over ten years ago.Originally Posted by leader of mortals
I didn't take the ACTs or the SATs. I scored well on the NCLB, RICA, CBEST, and CSET though. Those are the exams you have to take to teach elementary level.
Eeeeh, I was proud of my 26 til I saw all of the higher scores...
Ah well! Good for my location!
I got a 27 on my first try. I'm retaking, hoping for the 30's range.
Wtf way to be stereo-types guys!
They always say gamers/nerds are very smart...
Why doesn't this apply to me???
I was embarrassed to say my scores but what the hell I'm pretty so it's ok to be dumb.
I got a 20 on my ACT. That's right, the lowest score that will get you into college. But hey, I got accepted to both The University of Florida and Florida State University (but only because I'm getting my A.A. Degree with a 4.0).
Community College is the best way to get into University.
But yeah. I'm so horrible with test-taking. With every test I take I finish before everyone else which is NOT a good thing at all. I speed through tests and then do horrible on them.
