***OCTOBER 2015 ACT DISCUSSION THREAD***

No ACT scores yet, son tested in Missouri.

Anybody in the Eastern U.S. receive their scores yet? I’m hoping I get mine tomorrow

I don’t understand the writing scale at all
I got a 36 writing on both the September and the October test, even though my October essay wasn’t that great :-/

@AddyB123 don’t question it if it’s working in your favor :wink: Congrats on the scores!

Thanks haha, I’m just concerned about fair scoring for everyone

Someone I know got a 36 on the ACT and got a 24 on writing and he has to take it again. Sucks

Just got my writing score omg. Didn’t expect it to be out this soon!

All of this writing talk is scaring me because I am a poor writer

@picuberoot i hope you did well to match with your 36 composite :wink:

“Someone I know got a 36 on the ACT and got a 24 on writing and he has to take it again.”

This person should NOT take the ACT again because of that writing score. Really really silly.

I got a 15 on writing…idk how. I was really confident about my essay, idk how this new scoring system works

@songmino ahahaa i got a 36 on the writing. I really was NOT expecting that at all. Really grateful that the new rubric worked in my favor :slight_smile:

You’re incredible @picuberoot Congratulations

@songmino thank you!!

You all make me REALLY concerned about my writing score

Just got my scores back! I live in Eastern U.S.

Composite: 33
English: 35
Math: 34
Reading: 34
Science: 29
Writing: 29

Pretty happy with the score, but I had intended on applying to very competitive schools! Really not trying to retake it :confused: guess I’ll talk to guidance counselor

How are writing scores coming out? Daily?

I tested in Missouri & haven’t received my scores either. Hopefully they’ll be up in the morning?? This was my 3rd time taking the ACT. I’m a junior. I took it for the first time in June and got a 28, then received a 31 in September. I didn’t study either time. I really want a 33 so I can increase the OOS scholarship money I receive. I purchased the ACT Red Book & Black Book. I plan to study 3 full weeks before the test, do you guys think this will be enough to boost me just 2 points?? (Currently my best individual scores are 33E, 33R, 28M, 28M)

Sorry I meant 33E, 33R, 28M, and 28S

I got a 23 on the writing with 30 comp, last time i got a 30 comp with 26 writing. I talked about allen iverson on this october test, guessing the reader wasnt a big AI fan.

Allen iverson is a basketball player if you’re wondering
