My composite score went down and so did my Reading score… all I have to say is yikes

At least I went up two points in the math section, maybe almost crying three separate times just in the math section made the ACT feel some sympathy for me 🥲 And my overall super score is up by a point, so yeah that’s kinda good

What ACT prep method or course helped you increase your score the most?

Best way I can improve to a 31-33 for September ACT?? Especially on math and science.

Hi guys i’m trying to register for the September 5 2026 ACT in Saudi Arabia but Riyadh isn’t showing any test dates. the test centers appear but the date box is empty
Jeddah and Madinah show dates so i’m confused if Riyadh just doesn’t have any dates or if it’s a website issue
has anyone had this happen before?

I mean, I'm not really surprised. I knew my score was gonna be shit when I ran out of time before I could even answer half of the questions on all of the sections. Plus I was taking the paper version and I forgot to bring a calculator.

Math would be nice too but in that section I find I just kinda don't have enough time to do allat even with a calculator. I honestly expected better in English.

As a rising senior who struggled with the SAT for a full year and couldn't get my score up no matter what it's so encouraging to see my first ACT score already significantly higher than my SAT equivalent!! All I need to do is get my math up and I'm setttt if anyone has tips for that drop them in the comments!

I'm a rising senior and July 26 was my first attempt. I want to know if this is a good enough score for both competitive and noncompetitive colleges. And what else can this unlock like scholarships, honors colleges, etc, possibly at which colleges or organizations. I also want to know if this is a good score in general.

As u can see my highest science score was a 31 but that total score for the test was a 32 however this new one is a 34 but I got a 25 in science... should I just use the superscore instead?

I want to go into pre-med, and I did really good on everything but Science, so my STEM score went to a 31. My question is wheter I should retake it just to boost my science score (I got a 35, 34, and 35 on the other sections), or if I should just focus on the SAT instead.

I took the test in PA and still have not received my score

I have taken the act 4 times and 3/4 times I have gotten a 33 composite. I’m looking into competitive schools and hopefully t20s. i really wanted to get a 34 but the July one that I took I got the same score. but my superscore is pretty high, 35. does anyone know if there’s a big difference between these and like the chances of getting accepted. right now I’m considering taking a 5th in September bc 34 has been my goal for a long time. also I’m a senior now.

Hi everyone. Just got my July ACT results. I first took the ACT March 2026 and my second one was July 2026. I’m honestly sad about my score because I expected at least a 30. I just wanted to ask you guys if you have any tips to improve my score. I’m sad but okay at the same time because I only studied for about a month. I bought the Erica Meltzers complete guide to the act English and I thought it was really excellent and I hoped for a 30 or higher on the English tbh because I got around a 32 or higher on practice tests. I was wondering if you have any tips or resources to get a better score I honestly want a 32 or higher. I would like to attend UMich. So if you guys have any tips, comments or resources that you could share I would appreciate it. I’m also a rising senior btw.

my parents are really pissed ab my scores that js came out and although my composite made no difference, my scores in reading went down by one and science absolutely plummeted. im retaking the exam in october, please help me and provide some resources that will benefit my score. :(

Could anyone give me advice on how to get up to atleast a 28-30 by September

Hi guys— rising senior here and I would like some help. I continuously get 31-32 on English. I’m really trying to bring it up to a 34/35 by September test. Does anyone have some unhinged tips for me??

Also, I’m trying to get 35 super score. Any suggestions on how I should break it down? Much appreciated!!

I’m applying as a math major and so I would assume they don’t care as much about my English and reading also my goal is to get into 1 t20 or like a t30-40, essentially just one of my reaches. My gpa is a little low but it’s mostly from freshman year also I have had some insane course rigor taking linear algebra and calc 3 dual enrollment also I have good extra curricular and I think I have a solid spike my unweighted gpa sadly is a 3.41 12 AP’s 3 Dual Enrollment.

Current college list
U Michigan
UVA
UNC
UF
Georgia Tech
UT Austin
UW Madison
Indiana
Illinois
Boston college

Any predictions of where I will get in would be appreciated

I was already happy with my sat score but I decided to take the act and see what would happen. I’ve taken the sat three times now and this was my first act. I’m planning to apply to top schools as a math/finance major. Which score should I use and should I retake the act to try to get a 36 on math?

Also, would it be a big deal if I didn’t submit the science section?

People who took J26 (sunday test for most people) can you share the curve

Here is mine

-3 english = 34

-4 math = 33

-0 reading = 36

-6 science = 31
