***SEPTEMBER 2015 ACT DISCUSSION THREAD***

Finally got my writing scores three 11s and a 12 with a 31 overall.

okkk… can someone help me out here… just let me know my chances of getting into boston college’s carroll school of management.
i got a 32 this september test, 35 E 31M 29R 34S and a 36 on writing somehow. BC superscores and my 31 april test gives me a 33 superscore. i have a 94 unweighted GPA taking an IB diploma schedule in a really competitive high school. varsity basketball since sophomore year captain junior and senior year, buncha community service all that good stufff. anyyy and allll opinions pleaseee

Everyone at ACT honestly needs to be fired for being so unbelievably lazy. I refuse to believe one change to the essay would take this long to grade.

Seems everybody is waiting for writing score but I still have not got my multiple-choice scores yet!

@Hester3385 - I really hope you can get your scores soon. I know what it feels like. The ACT should have warned us that the scores might not be released in time for early action deadlines.

Does 32 ACT seem better than 2110 SAT?

A 32 is better

Lol, just got my writing scores back. Got a 29. Kinda disapointed. Was hoping 5. Was hoping for at least a 30. Ah well, I’m applying as a science major anyways.

Finally got my writing score today, checked around 8:30am EST. Got a 22 on writing but i could honestly care less because I got a 30 Composite score

Have any international students gotten their writing scores yet? Also are they done posting for today?

I don’t why but the act percentile chart isn’t opening up for me. Can someone tell me what the percentile is for a 29 on writing?

September 2015 and beyond percentiles are posted on their site, but in summary

32-36 99%
30-31 98%
29 97%
28 95%

etc

Daughter just received Writing today 11/11/11/11 or 31…98%. She had gotten a 10 (or 33 or 99%) back in June…Rough on Writing I guess, but her % stayed good. Given the newness of this ACT writing test, I think most colleges will be looking at percentile % to gauge capability…

@Nikos87 thanks!

Ugh I got a 32 for writign I’m maddd

@songmino are you an international student? Because I am, and I still didn’t get my score…hmm

For those of you like @songmino and others who got 31+ on writing, how’d you guys format your essay like what was the topic/main focus of each of your paragraphs.

Thanks :slight_smile:

33 Composite.
36 Writing.

Can you superstore the writing portion?

@clichescreenname no the writing portion is generally not superscored because it isn’t a part of the composite score.
