ACT is a joke

7 Upvotes

Taking the October test tomorrow and still don’t have my September results. Don’t think anyone who took K16 has them yet and it’s been almost a month since the test. College app deadline number 1 already passed too. Just zero urgency at all.

General Should I cancel Tomorrow?

2 Upvotes

I’ve already been accepted to the uni I wanted to attend with my full tuition paid. I got the same amount of money someone with a 36 on the act would get and a high gpa and academic rigor. My ACT score was horrible when I took it junior year. This year I’m taking on 3 more dual enrollment classes and I’ve had no time to study at all. Every week I have a lot of work to do and I don’t get it all done until Sunday. Then Monday comes along and the cycle restarts. My counselor told me to retake it both in October and December and to apply to the best University in the state afterwards. My family would not afford to take me to that school if I were to go. I got my full tuition paid at the second best school in my state already so I’m definitely going there. She expected me to do a full ACT course and tutoring as well but I never had time to. I go home and do my work for 4 hours at a time. My only free day is on a Saturday and I’m still doing some sort of work. I’m not a good test taker when I know I’m on a time crunch. I’m still horrified about the awful score I had the first time I took It and I have trouble sleeping because of it. At this point I just want to cancel it. I know for a fact that I’m not taking the December test though.

Score cancellation question

Post image
4 Upvotes

Basically I took the act in july and june and in june I got sick mid test so I couldn't finish english and reading sections. Should I just cancel my score from june, would this be like unethical or against the rules if I want to apply to a school like mit that wants all scores? I took sat twice, once in freshman yr and once in jr year where I got a 1560 (800m 760R) .

General Worried about ACT score for EAs

2 Upvotes

I'm worried by ACT score won't come out in time for Early Action (Nov. deadline). I'm taking the October 18th one (first time taking the ACT), and I am not sure what I would do if I don't get my score in time. I took the SAT twice (1300 and 1320), but I've been getting REALLY promising results from ACT practice. I haven't been working on apps as much as I should, and my personal statement is barely started... if I lose all this time only to not even receive my score, I think I'll cry.

Scoring variability

2 Upvotes

Hey gang - frustrated at how my scores can be all over the place. Practice tests I’m scoring 35 English almost all the time and reading I’m scoring mostly 33-36 but then sometimes 30-31. Real test got a 34 in English and 30 in reading.

My math is 33 and I’m happy with it.

Any tips?

I got the score I wanted from September (33), and I wanted to take this one for science, but I was burned out and decided not to study because why the hell would I want to take it again. Should I cancel or just not show up?

General Practice Test Accuracy

2 Upvotes

How accurate are the practice tests? I have my first and only ACT tomorrow and I just took the ACT Online Practice Test 1 on the website and thought it was incredibly easy. I got either a 35 or 36 on all the sections and was wondering how accurate this is to the actual test, it just seems way too basic and simple especially compared to the SAT. Also any last minute study tips appreciated!

Some questions on act

1 Upvotes

If I’m 17, and a junior, and took it only once last year and made a 26, how many more times should I expect to take it to make above a thirty. I feel lucky to have made a 26, though during the rest I was surprised by how much simpler it was than I thought. let’s pray, and goodluck to everyone, I know that it isn’t guaranteed to make a 30+ no matter how many times but I just wanted to know yalls experiences. My scores are high In reading and writing (32 and 30) but my math and science really sucked( mainly science)
