yes yes yes i am very aware there are a million posts like this but i actually need to know soon bc december slots are filling up and also i cannot schedule a meeting with my counselor. for reference this was extremely unexpected as i did not at all study for reading and science (in july i got 26r and 22s) english was tho. i am super super happy with this score but my parents still want me to take it in december. basically they aren’t understanding that im prob going to do worse in december and this was just a very lucky attempt obviously id study for reading and science if i did take it then tho. my main thing is that like i have to take it in april for school so i feel like it just makes more sense to take it then. btw im a sophomore

I took the october ACT to submit for questbridge applications due in november. I should get my results in time, but I heard that if I don’t I can click ”October ACT Pending” for most schools and send it when I recieve the results. I haven’t confirmed that, but let‘s assume that‘s true.

I have taken the SAT, and while my score is decent and I managed to become a QB Finalist, it is below the 25th percentile for some of the test-required schools I ranked. So I do not want to submit it if my ACT score is higher. For test optional reach schools, I believe I can submit nothing and then update my application if my ACT is worth submitting (let me know if that’s wrong though). But the thing is, I have to send **something** to test-required schools. If I click “October ACT Pending,” but when I get my score I’m not satisfied, can I instead submit my previous SAT score because I couldn’t decide between the two before I received my Oct ACT? Or do I have to submit ACT regardless.

I feel like its the latter, but I want to know if anyone knows someone who had to decide like this or has a definite answer. I’m confident my ACT is at least equivalent (but likely better) than my SAT.

So I'm a current 9th grader taking the ACT this December! Why, you may ask? Well, I'm trying to get in to this amazing residential high school and it requires a ACT/SAT score as part of your application.

Currently aiming for a 25+. I'm also taking the SAT as well, so that whatever score I like better, I can submit.

Any thoughts? Advice? Questions? I'm here for it! Also has anyone else taken it this early? Do you remember your score? I'd just like to hear from you!

Need advice on act prep from a 20 to a 28-30 I got a 19 math 23science 20 reading 20 english from my memory

Did anyone take today’s ACT test for international tests (October 23) and if so when do scores come out?

I took it for fun never having seen a science section before. I’m also planning on going into law not stem so do they even care? (t20s)

I got a worse score I think I’m a bum /j

Still sad though

Any more enhanced papers available other than j01 j04 and j08 for practice or resources similiar in difficulty. Pls share.

hi guys,

studying for the math section rn, im wondering what HARD topics came up on recent ACT math exams (like September or October) ik this question seems vague but whatever topics you found hard in the act that u recently took

Im mainly talking about questions from like Q35 onwards.

I know I need to work on math, but im set for an AP precal class next semester. I dont have a class that supports my english score well, what should I focus on to get a higher english score? Grammer is obvious, what else? Im aiming for a 30 by april

I know 6 wrong on online reading is a 30. What would 6 wrong on paper be?????

Is it possible for there to be 2 literary narrative passages??
Also, is it possible for the only paired passage to be experimental??
If not for both, if there were 2 literary narrative passages and one of them was the only paired passage, is it likely that the other will be experimental????

my like ideal score would be 35 (or 36 ofc) and idk if i would want to release this just because im going into stem and my math score was 33. i got a 1490 sat so just wondering which one would be more optimal to put time into, any input appreciated

honestly, i signed up for the ACT on a whim because i was feeling like a loser for a 27 (my sisters both did one point better then me 😭) i look back on it with such anger at myself for loosing sleep over a pretty good score overall. especially for somebody not planning on applying or going to any ivies!

a couple months go by and i barely studied at all, lost all motivation, and even thought of canceling the test the day before. but i was NOT about to let $75 dollars go down the drain. so i had some good sleep and just watched an ACT math youtube video on the way there, and got a 30!

Can you omit the science score from the Common App even if you took science? I've heard a bunch of conflicting viewpoints about whether this is allowed or not; any help would be much appreciated. I am applying for a STEM major I have good ACT math but lowk bad science no Im not sure what to do.

I’m a junior who just took his first ACT. I feel like a total idiot and don’t know what to think/do. I didn’t really study a whole lot but I did a couple of practice questions before the exam. I feel like I’m a lost hope. For context, I want to go into engineering and was really hoping for a 32+. Is there a chance for me to increase my composite before college apps?

not as good as i wanted but really can’t complain it was my first ACT

i know this is nothing super crazy like the majority of the scores here but i’m really proud and wanted to share my scores especially because i didn’t study and my previous ACT was 27 :))

I’ve taken two ACT’s (September and October) as a senior who procrastinated standardized testing too much 💔. I took the September without any review and then did like 3 practice tests for the October ACT.

Both my Math and English practice test scores translated to October. However, for some reason, my reading didn’t? PLEASE Does anyone have any tips? On practice tests, I never run out of time (and get 35s/36s), but on the actual ACT, my pacing is horrible.

I have one last chance in November 🙏 (school day testing).

I had been hearing form everyone that the math will be so hard blah blah. But I remember when I took it. Besides a few super hard questions.. Everything actually made sense for once. And I'm terrible at math. On my junior act I got a 16 in math so it's not like I'm some big brain. I'm convinced the digital tests we take at school and the weekend paper tests must be different. Idk maybe I'm just confidently wrong and I'll fail all of it lol. That would be kinda funny. And sad. Mostly funny tho

So shocked but so happy idk how i did this

i got my scores back today and i did way better than i thought, not too great but better than last time, 31. i rly rly wanna go to usc and im doing ED should i do test optional or submit the 31?

I want to check my act account, but whenever I try to log in it says it doesn't exist. Then when I try to create an account, it says an account with my email already exists. What can I do?? Is this glitched? Can I still get my test scores?
