How long does it takes for international students to get there scores? I am from India but my status is still registered 
35 in math subscores pre-algebra= 18, algebra= 16, plane geometry/trig = 16, not sure the curve if section is worth 60 points?
If we already got composite scores, when will we receive writing scores back?
In Los Angeles, still says registered ):
Does anyone know if -1 Science is a 34?
@balrog29 no. I missed 1 and made a 35
the answer to that math question was 15 right?
can ppl who got 36s post their answers to the ones we were debating over lol
Does anyone have any practice tests??!!
Does anyone know the exact scale for this ACT? Also, what are the major changes regarding the fall ACT?
@MrAustere ■■■■■■■■.com has a ton of past tests
Rising junior here.
C: 32
E: 31
M: 32
R: 33
S: 31
I got these scores with about two weeks of light to medium test prep. Do you guys think I have a shot at raising it to a 34 composite? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
@msdarcy , it will say “National” because this was a national test. My son’s previous test was a state wide test and says “state” (no specific state, just “state” ).
I called ACT. The telephone rep said the next release is on Friday. Then after that scores will be released every Wed/Fri.
@Chew97083 pretty much the same for me. I’m a rising junior and scored a 33C with self-study. Math and Science were my lowest scores, but I also made stupid mistakes on English and Reading, as I scored a 35 on both sections but have consistently scored 36s on practice tests.
I definitely think we can both raise our scores to a 34, but it depends on the nature of the errors. I period say Math is the easiest to improve on, followed by English, then Science, then Reading.
So much of it is also in the specific’s tests personal difficulty. Based on my preparation, I found this test’s Math section to be easy, even compared to Red Book exams.
Dang, how many of you guys got a 36 C?
@Chew97083 I think you have a good chance of raising it to a 34 composite! I’m a rising senior now and was in almost your same position this time last year. I had a 33 and wanted it up to a 35 (AND GOT IT!!). You’re at such high scores that it really just takes a lot of time and practice tests. My Reading and Science were already at 35s so I needed to raise my english and math. I took about 2 weeks full of reading practice books and doing practice tests (and then writing out every question I missed and how to do it). It would have been less stressful had I started studying earlier. If you just set up a good routine and look at what your weaknesses on the test were and focus on those areas you have a really good shot! (personally, my junior year classes also helped a lot. Taking Calc and Lang really helped my scores.)
Define “36”… If by 36 you mean 32, then, yes, I got a 36.
Unfortunately, Reading is probably the most difficult section to raise your score on, and colleges will be concerned by a low score on the Reading section. I scored a 35 on the Reading, and I would say the most important thing is to realize how simple the vast majority of the reading questions are. They almost always are recall questions or ask you to identify major themes or ideas in the writings. Luckily, I’d assume your difficulty comes not from inability to read and comprehend material but instead is due to a lack of complete understanding of what the ACT is testing.
In my opinion, Science is similar to Reading - you just have to know exactly what the test will require of you. Never read anything without a purpose in the Science section. If you’re having major time issues, then fly through one time to complete easy “fact-finding” questions then go back to more difficult questions.
Thanks everyone for the encouragement and advice!
