excerpts from Up Your Score: ACT, The Underground Guide to Outsmarting "The Test". i hope you guys made gameface quintuple-36 granola-blast snakmix [the list of popular methods to prepare is also accurate, i dug a hole and sat in it]

As a senior, this ACT is my final one. I’m pretty sure I didn’t do better because of my reading score. Whatever I’m just happy to get this done with anyway. No matter what score I get on this test, I’m going to burn all my prep materials either way. It has definitely been a rough five months for sure. I’m so glad to see this ACT era is coming to an end. Even though it’s been awful and definitely draining, it will be memorable regardless.

(should’ve taken the SAT instead)

can anyone tell me how reliable the oct 22 score release date is? Do most people who took digital get their scores that quickly?

Hello!

I took the October ACT today, and immediately after the English section, a kid spoke with the proctor and immediately left- like, literally grabbed his stuff and nervously left the room. The proctor didn't say anything, and I took all the sections, but even after writing, he didn't say anything at all. Should I be worried about cancellations? Is it possible the kid just didn't want the test to be scored and just left?

Can’t believe I was able to get this score after so long!! SIX ATTEMPTS!!!

(not the national sep 19th act, this is my sep 29th school day act, although I did take the national one too and got a 33)

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

How was the curve for each section? Please share your score and how many questions you got wrong. Thanks.

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)

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

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

How do you do it or what did it take

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

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.

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

Discuss all math problems/answers below

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

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.

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

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?

I ACTUALLY DONT KNOW HOW I PULLED THIS OFF

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!

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