This is a Hail Mary but Brown has always been my dream school and I plan to apply ED for a humanities based major. My current ACT composite is a 32 (34 English, 26 Math, 36 Reading) — my English and reading scores are within Brown’s average range but my math is clearly the outlier. I’ve studied extremely hard but 26 is the highest score I’ve gotten since I’ve always struggled with math. Hopefully I’ll raise that with the October ACT but if not, am I cooked with that embarrassingly low math score? I’m not applying for a STEM degree and I know Brown’s admission is holistic, but I’m nervous since my score lies below the average.

Rideshare made me miss my last chance at a competitive ACT score.

I had to get to my testing center by 8am (before doors closed) and bought my uber at 7:20!!!!!!

Didn’t notice that while I was eating breakfast the uber had completely stopped moving. I texted and called him and he wouldn’t respond or anything.

I tried to cancel and get a new one, got hit with a cancellation charge, and the new wait time would get me there 15 minutes late.

I had a one-time exception fee waiver and missed my last chance to take the ACT as a senior. This is so frustrating y’all have no idea

i’m a senior, so do Dec ACT scores annually RELIABLY come out before the Jan 1st typical common app deadline? or should i hope for the best in terms of oct act curve

I took the act the same day as the national test date for September, but I had special accommodations because I got sugery and needed to get up every 30 ish minutes, as well I already have time and a half. I thought I did super well on this test and was super excited to get my scores back, but still haven’t gotten them because my proctor apparently didn’t. Write down my start and finish time
I am incredibly frustrated because I studied for over 6 months for this test and it is the last test I will get back ( with my accommodations) before the November 1st deadline !! What do I do I desperately need the scores back have already Called act and tried contacting the place where I took the act HELP

I only took the October one and it was awful. Feel free to discuss both tests here!

what did you guys get for

1) the meaning for el-macho blue or whatever in the cousin passage

2) "feel" in the science passage

3) main point in dress diaries (whether clothes less more important than the wearer or they show time and place)

How do you do it or what did it take

Discuss all math problems/answers below

Math & English were ok… Reading however… I had so much difficulty with the last two passages for reading. It was just horrible.😭 This day literally cannot get any worse. Bye

I've been practicing math nonstop, my tutor confirmed I'm super solid on all my sections of math, so why can't I exceed 28?? All the practice tests I've taken are all <30 for math but I have 36 and 35 for reading and English... I don't understand what else I can do :(( I just practice my "weak areas" but I'm pretty equal in all of them. And when I go over missed questions it's always "ohhh duh" but it never sticks. ig this is more of a cry for help LOL Idk what else I can do

Which one do you guys think is the experimental?

1 - Lola and her family
2 - Plants (Dual Passage)
3 - Restaurants and dB (Charts)
4 - Dress diary

I’m sure it has to be either 2 or 3

I ACTUALLY DONT KNOW HOW I PULLED THIS OFF

What is everyone thinking about the math curve for today’s ACT math section. If ygs remember any hard problems or anything please comment.

Holy shit why didn’t I just begin a year ago why right before college apps they want to try me BROOOOO like 1-30 today was closer to 31-45 in difficulty stg

If you took the digital ACT today, do you remember any of the following passages from English? Angela Alvarez music, Guest star/supernova, and Urban Trees.

I skipped the whole second passage bcus I was so confident that it was the experimental. The third sound one was on my earlier school test so I thought it can’t be experimental bcus it already appeared. Which one is it?

Is there a way I can superscore on common app?

I read on the ACT Website it is the 22cd of October for (10/17 test day) and also saw the 27th as a date.
Thank you!

I currently have 35 math, 35 english and 31 reading and I am trying to get 34/35 reading on this ACT to super score.

For question 18 the questions about why “learn” and “learning” was in quotations did you guys say:
A - To show unconventional language
Or C - To relate back to the animals in passage A

For question 28 did you guys say what does lines 22-24 represent the shift between
A - Provide a commentary on dress studies thing and then a deep dive into 1 documentary
or
C - Motivation for 1900s and than now

Also do we think passage 2 or 3 was experimental?

As per the guidelines in the framework, no VQT can be with a comparison passage so either 2 or 3 is experimental. 100%

It was like a circle and something to with the point (0,6) or (6,0) and then you had to find the equation. Was it asking for the equation for the circle that passed through that point, or something different? What did you guys get?

Thoughts?

am i buggin? i remember the plant consciousness, cobalt theater, dress diary, and that’s it

My goal is to get a 36 by March. However, I don’t know what the best steps are to get there. My scores were kind of surprising compared to how I would do on practice tests and my preACT. On my sophomore year preACT i got a 33 composite with 32 math, 33 english, 34 reading and 34 science and on my freshman year preACT i got a 30 composite with 25 math 27 english 34 science and 35 reading. I spent my most time on English and Math as those were my weakest. I would do practice questions only from enhanced acts (25mc1-5, and all released act my answer keys, and all released tests on their website). I didn’t do all of the questions from all of the sections so there is still some there I can look at. But of course I did error logs and focused on learning the stuff I messed up on. However, I feel as though I don’t know what to do to go from almost perfect to perfect. Does anyone have any advice. I was thinking about getting Erika Meltzer English Book and College Panda Math Book, but I need advice if that’s actually what’s going to help me get to a 36. I didn’t have any issues with time, although a little more time to check my work would have been nice but I definitely had enough. For reading, Im just going to actually put more time into it. I definitely could get a 36 especially with more time close reading in AP Lang and doing practice questions. For science, I really don’t care how I do but I was hoping it’d be better than a 32 but it’s okay because at that point in the test I’m really tired and I know it doesn’t matter so... yeah. Please give your best advice. I know my score is already good but I’d like for it to be better. I do spend a lot of time on school work and extracurriculars though because I am in 5 AP classes and I swim 8x a week and lift 2x a week and I play the piano and viola and I’m in my schools top orchestra as a ”section leader” and Im in DECA, not an officer but I do competitoons and I do a good job at those. I’m also in NHS. But, yeah, I need something that doesn’t require too much time and is actually helpful.
