yeah.. I agree with thecalccobra. I had no idea what to expect going into the ACT. Maybe I'll retake it now that I know what I'm doing.

I also agree with kevinscool, though.

Hahaha Why, of course it probably would not have been that low. I'm just laughing at the incredibly interesting difference between the 2 scores though. It's funny how I scored worse on a test that only requires me to read graphs... Wow... Oh well!

And yeah, it required no science skills... unless you count looking at very odd graphs and reading tons of paragraphs "science" skills...

^ im like you, Science helped me.

I feel like my Reading score (27) got switched with my science score (34). If i just did well on my reading i could have gotten a really good score :[

No, they look at your composite. The breakdown is important, but not THAT vital.

First time taking the ACT:

E: 31
R: 29 (I panicked)
M: 29

...S: 26
C: 29

if it wasnt for that science section i would have gotten a 30, lame.

SATs > ACTs, for me its like a +500 point difference between the two tests (when converted)
