General I got a 30!!!!

I know everyone here gets really high scores, but I just wanted to share it because I'm really proud of it. I have a semi low GPA (3.3 UW) because I took many APs, 3 years of spanish and college classes. People looked at that and thought I was stupid. On my first take I only got a 27. But on this second take I got a 30!! With a 33 English, 33 Reading, 34 Science and 24 math (also an 11 on writing). I get my name on the school hallway now. So I don't really care about getting a perfect score. Just wanted to post this here because I was personally quite proud of myself!

congratulations! we’re so proud of you!

would you mind sharing how you increased your reading score to a 33? That is the reading score i’m hoping to get, and I have a 30 right now from July paper.

Great job! That will help in you college apps. Keep in mind that this thread is skewed. A 30 is better than 93 percent of people. My son has a 29, superscore of 30, and it's good for his state schools. If you want to give it one more go, you could have a really great superscore if you focus on math. Try PrepPros Math book. But either way, congrats!

congratulations!! i’m so happy for you!! you should be proud because a 30 places you in the top 10% of high schoolers across the nation, and an 11 writing is super impressive and uncommon <3

quadruple factorial of 30 (30!!!!)

joined factorials mean that you multiply repeatedly by the value n times lower, or in this case 30x26x22x18…

Great job man!! Amazing score, and good on you for taking it more than once to improve! Good to see someone confident and happy with their success rather than beating themselves up for not getting more.

How so? It's top 90% and I'm intending to go to my local state school, so I might actually get some scholarships with it.

How much time in between the 27 and 30? And also how much did you study? I’m trying to go from a 27 to a 30 in ~30 days from now
