Hey Vapperss, I will be praying for your score

I hope I get 30+, I want a 33+ on reading and english because those are my favorites, math...meh, and me & science are not friends.

-2 math, either 35 or 34.
-1 or -0 science, but my last sitting was 36 science, so for superscore, 36.
perhaps missed 1 for english and writing, perhaps 0.

So hopefully 35, 34 with dumb mistakes but probably still 35 superscore.

Feeling a 34 on math, 32 english, 34 reading, 30 science which would leave me with a 32.5 -> 33. I'll take it but that's being optimistic. I probably got a 32 or 31.

Hoping for a 34-36.
I've missed one in science, haven't seen any wrong ones for reading, nothing wrong for grammar but I'm unsure about one, and math I just want to put my head down and give up. Probably a 32/33 on math.

The math I found unusually hard this time. Granted, this was only my third time taking the test. Too many sin/cos/tan functions. Ran out of time unfortunately, had to randomly bubble about eight questions. I have a 32 superscore, 29 highest composite. Hoping to break the 30 barrier since NYU doesn't superscore the ACT.

Science wasn't too difficult either. The essay prompt was so easy it was almost silly. But that's how they all are.

^ I thought I kept reading in a ton of different places that NYU does superscore? Or were they wrong?

Hoping for a comp. of 28 (minimum). Not sure if that will work, though. My expectations are pretty much: math - low 20s (yeah, I flubbed up that bad), science - 25 minimum/30 maximum, reading - 30+, English - 33+.

I hope those last two are right, at least...

I see on the ACT website it says scores will be reported between November 8th, and dec 23rd. If there are no unusual circumstances, i.e. wrong number on test or something, do they usually come out on the first day available?

On topic: was getting 32's on practice tests, but today I think I did awesome. Praying -2 is a 35 on math, and im looking at around a 33...

I wish we got our test scores back before the end of registration for the ACTs. I don't know if I should sign up for december or not. Is there any point if you're scoring a minimum of 33, anyways?

NYU superscores the SAT but they'll only take your highest composite ACT. At least that's what the info session I went to last weekend led me to believe.

Defianced, if you're worried about a school getting it in time for an ED deadline, colleges get them way earlier than you actually do. But then of course there's always a question if you actually want that college seeing your score. I think SAT has rush fees, don't know if ACT offers that. I'm sure they do. Everyone likes money.

Lol you have a 33, no. Be grateful. I mean unless you're one of *those* kids.

Got a 33 composite in June...
34 English
33 Math
30 Reading
33 Science

I'm NOT expecting anything better this time around. Already got -3 for sure in math, -1 in english, -2 in reading, and -1 in science. Assuming this is all I get wrong... I'd probably end up with
35 English
33 Math
34 Reading
35 Science
Making my composite, at MAX 34.25 assuming I made no stupid errors or other mistakes of which I'm not aware.

FUUUU

Hopes of 34+ crushed.

I'm just worried about not getting into the college I want to go (Midd), that's all. But yeah, a two point difference on the ACT is about max what I'll be able to change, so it isn't worth it I guess.
