<p>This 34er Senior is applying to Rice (1st choice!), WashU, UChicago, Creighton, Yale, some of the Minnesota LACs, and University of Nebraska-Lincoln Honors College as a safety school.</p>
<p>Never got around to posting scores but here they are:</p>
<p>C: 33!!!
English: 34 - yea baby
Reading: 33 - yea baby
Math: 34 - I HAVE A CHANCE AT UVA/WHARTON!!!
Science: 29 - **** it! I’m horid at science but it dosen’t matter. Science may have ****ed my score the past 2 tests but I got the best of it this time!</p>
<p>To say I’m happy is such an understatement. I got a 19 on my plan and thought I would never take the ACT. 3 tests later and I’m sitting at a 33. I feel insane I’m so happy right now.</p>
<p>SO SO happy!! i was expecting a 31 at most! last time i took this, i got a 29 (reallyyy brought down by my 26 in english). but i moved up NINE POINTS on english and improved so so much! now i have a chance at my top choices!</p>
<p>Does anyone have ‘insight’ on how schools review ACT scores? For example, do they differentiate whether you have 34.25 vs. 33.5 even though both have the same composite of 34?</p>
<p>Sweetbunny, honestly for the last one that I took I was the most relaxed. I went into the test with the “I’m gunna kill it” attittude. I honestly think this was the trick. For the week before the test I casually studied princeton review cracking the act and Barron’s 36. I took 1 practice test a week. I feel like I just got a good test which is what this standerdized testing is all about.</p>
<p>^^ That’s the best plan. Practice tests and a “I’m gonna bend this test over” mentality. As silverturtle once said, approaching the questions strategically is far less important on the ACT than on the SAT, so practice tests are the best way to study</p>
