How do you think you did? *June 2012 ACT*

<p>Title pretty much says it. This is mainly for those who have already read through the official reading, science, English, and math section discussions, getting an idea of what questions they might have missed. </p>

<p>I’d say I probably got around a 29/30 composite score. For my essay I feel that I probably got around an 8, +/- 1. My essay would’ve been better if I didn’t freeze up when there was 10 minutes to go. As I was writing I realized I had made a mistake in my paragraph and couldn’t fix it. It wasn’t big enough to kill my score, but the time I spent trying to find a way to fix it pressured me for time. If I hadn’t made that mistake, though, I feel that I would’ve made at least a 10 or 11 on the essay. </p>

<p>Overall I’m aiming for a higher composite score, but I’m not really disappointed with my current score. Even though it’s lower than my previous high score, I went into the test expecting a low grade. I’ve had four other exams this week and was sleep deprived. On top of that, I haven’t really been able to study for it. I maybe studied an hour for it the night before. It’s really my fault that I didn’t study. Even though I had several other things to do/study for, I could have sacrificed some free time. Oh well, I’ll do better next time.</p>

<p>So, how do you think you did?</p>

<p>English - 34
Math - 32
Reading - 32
Science - 28-30
Writing - At least a 10? How long was everyone’s essays? Mine was two pages exactly.</p>

<p>Composite 32, which is my goal. I will be very happy with a 32, but I think I’m being conservative with my math and reading scores and a 33 may be possible, but I don’t want to get my hopes up :P</p>

<p>English 35
Math 36
Reading.34
Science 35</p>

<p>English 26-30 I felt that I did good on this one, but last time I thought the same thing and got a 23</p>

<p>Math 34-36 As far as I know I only got 1 wrong, but I may have made a dumb mistake on 1 or 2 of the easier ones</p>

<p>Reading -30-33 I got about 5-8 wrong, I really don’t know if 30-33 is accurate for 5-8 wrong though. Any help?</p>

<p>Science - 28-32 I feel like I did pretty good on this, but I’m cautiously optimistic. In April I felt 10x worse about science than I do about this one. I got a 28 back in April, so I assume I did better than a 28.</p>

<p>Composite: 30-33 Best and Worst case scenarios according to my predictions up there^</p>

<p>English 34-35
Didn’t feel extremely confident for whatever reason after this one. </p>

<p>Math 35-36
I really think I aced it, but I can’t really count on that, I guess. </p>

<p>Reading 35-36
Not to be cocky, but this is kinda my norm. </p>

<p>Science 34-35
Wasn’t bad, but not a cakewalk. </p>

<p>Writing 8
Hopefully. Writing is pretty much the only reason I took it again, to improve on my 7. </p>

<p>Composite 35
But hopefully all my actual scores will be on the higher half of my predictions and a 36 will be mine. ;)</p>

<p>Hoping-
English- 35
Math- 33-34ish…but honestly I’m not feeling good about the section anymore :confused: seeing that i made a ton of careless mistakes :/…
Reading- 35 hopefully
Science- 33 hopefully
And hopefully I will get a composite 34 at least, or at least anything besides a 31 which I’ve been scoring</p>

<p>English- 29 ish
Math-32 ish
Science- 31 ish
Reading-29 ish</p>

<p>I will probably be met with bitter disappointment on score release morning. Although, I do feel pretty confident about these scores, I guess haha. I’d LOVE a 31, but I know that’s not going to happen. Maybe I should set my priorities straight and crack open that red book I bought 6 months ago, lol.</p>

<p>English 36
Math 35-36
Reading 35-36
Science 34-36
Writing 10-11</p>

<p>grammar: 29
reading: 29
math: 23
science:26-27</p>

<p>I hated this math section today. After question 40 I got wrecked.</p>

<p>English: 36
Math: 34-36 (Think I got either -1 or -2)
Reading: 36
Science: 33-34 (I didn’t finish the last two questions, and think I got the rest of them right)</p>

<p>Composite: 35-36</p>

<p>English 36- fell asleep about half way through, woke up with 5 minutes left and finished with ease.
Math 36- would have been even easier with a calculator.<br>
Reading 36- I had read all the passages by chance in my spare time so I recalled them exactly and finished in 7 minutes.
Science 36- My fives on every ap test relating to science helped me immensely, though it was a lot of common knowledge.<br>
Writing 12- I wrote a beautiful 7-page analysis of the socioeconomic benefits of allowing the controversial clothing in school.
Composite 36- Pretty easy this time around. A solid improvement over my 36 35 36 36 11 from last time.</p>

<p>@GoodACTor: Out of everyone who has posted in this thread, you’re the only one I’m skeptical of. Seven pages is pretty lengthy. It’s much more impressive if you’re efficient with your wording and get your point across in fewer words. I also feel that writing on “the socioeconomic benefits of allowing controversial clothing in school” was a poor choice with a weak argument.</p>

<p>7 pages??? Lol, you seem very sure and confident of yourself.</p>

<p>Are there even seven pages of writing space in the ACT booklet? I thought there was only five or 6.</p>

<p>With perfection comes confidence. Any argument that can be supported well enough can be a “strong argument.” And it was difficult to contain all of my ideas in only 7 pages. I gave my best effort to be concise.</p>

<p>There are 4 pages in the booklet. I wrote non stop for about 25 minutes and only had about 3 full pages. I doubt you had 7 full pages, unless you skipped lines, wrote really large or had extra time.</p>

<p>I would believe you much more if you posted a screen-cap of your previous ACT scores.</p>

<p>@WJSidis I can make that happen after I get home. I didnt bring my scores to the village I’m helping rebuild in Africa. I’m sure you understand.</p>

<p>@GoodACTor: You can check your scores online, you know. Also kind of funny how you fly to Africa the day after you take the ACT.</p>

<p>The 36 composite wannabe is lying lol</p>
