***SEPTEMBER 2015 ACT DISCUSSION THREAD***

Still haven’t gotten my MCQ score :’(

Two things:

First, my daughter took the ACT with Writing yesterday (Junior), and they were told the earliest their scores would be ready is in 5 weeks.

Second, if you are going to send your scores rush (priority), check first with the school to see if they even accept priority scores, which are actually unofficial paper scores. ACT is more than happy to take the extra money on this, but they neglect to tell you that this is an unofficial copy of your scores (essentially, it’s what you would print out from your own account). Some schools will accept this, but others will not, and ACT has no idea as to who there are.

Help!!! I’m applying for EA and I still don’t have my writing scores!I emailed ACT about it and they didn’t respond :confused: How Should I fill in my Common App??? It doesn’t let me leave it blank…

I can’t believe I took the October ACT yesterday, and I’m still waiting for September ACT writing scores. I have two November 1st schools and I have no idea what to do. I can’t wait for this application process/standardized testing b.s to end

@3dloser don’t self report on your Testing section, instead explain your circumstance on the additional info section together with your scores

@HereToHelpYou Do you know if you can delete SAT scores like ACT scores?

Did anyone get their writing scores today?

@LordBendtner yes you can cancel SAT scores, but it is not as easy.

You have to do it within a few days of the test.

Does anyone else not have their writing scores… it has been 1.5 months…

Its been more than a month since I got my MC scores! This is outrageous!!!

I spent my weekend warning sophomore and junior parents not to have their students take the ACT fall of senior year!
My public service announcement…:-/

Just tell them to concentrate on the SATs!! Don’t bother with the ACT…BS company. My daughter wasted summer time and I wasted tutor money for a test she now may not be able to use. Still waiting for the writing scores. It is ridiculous!

My friends who took the test on Sep 12 in Bangalore, India still didn’t get their scores. Lol ACT.

@SRG1098 Exactly! We still didn’t get our multiple choice scores…I don’t even give a damn about writing, at least ACT can show our mcq scores so that we can decide if we want to take the test again…

Man it’s been more than 3 weeks
I haven’t still received my writing scores
I got my MC score on 30 September only
But no word on writing
I contacted the ACT and they are saying that they post scores Monday to Friday at 8 am CST
I have applied for EA In 4 universities
I can’t fill out the writing score in common app and therefore can’t submit it before 1 November
Is there any way I can submit my common app without filling the writing scores ??

@lucifer1 don’t self report on your Testing section, instead explain your circumstance on the additional info section together with your scores

Is it worth reporting in additional information even if I got the same composite score as the last time I took it?

But then it shows my application as incomplete and there is no submit option left.
What should I do about this?

My son put in the score box the test date (September) The app allowed him to do this so it flags as scores that will show up…eventually…waiting…eventually…waiting.
Suggested he do the PDF/screenshot thing but he’s resistant. Waiting to see if writing score shows up this week.
Saying a prayer to St. Jude for all of you kiddos!

BTW-does anyone know if they post scores continually all day or are they done by 8am?
