What did you all get the first time you took the official ACT?
22 (freshman) lol but hoping for a 30 from this one.
a 16 in 7th grade, but my first real time I was a sophomore and got a 26
28, December of Junior Year
32, April of Junior Year
33, October of Senior Year
Jamesjunkers…my junior son took it in September for the first time and got a 28 and just retook the exam in February. He wants to get at least a 30. What did you do to make such a jump?
In addition, james, did a lot of colleges to which you applied only ask for your best ACT score?
30 - Early Spring of Junior year
31 - Fall of Senior year
35 - Fall of post-graduation (I took a gap-year)
The first time was in 8th grade and I got a 24.
It was just getting over those test jitters you have the first time. In reality, I did about a month of prep for the first test, then about 3 days of prep for the second and third. I knew I could do better, I just had to get past my nerves.
In terms of colleges, it was about an even split. Some required all scores, some allowed me to choose. I don’t think the 28 is really holding me back though, I think I proved I was better than that. In addition, I had two SAT subject tests of 740 and 780, so I don’t think they thought my ACT was a fluke.
Thanks, James
35 in December. One and done.
29 (February of Junior year) just got them today
