***September 2016 ACT Discussion Thread***

OP, that’s not anecessarily academic weakness. That’s a common sense weakness.

You already got SAT 1600 and C35. Why would you even bother taking the ACT again?

I can see maybe going for C36 for bragging rights.

But if you really think any college in the universe is going to reject you because you “only” got C35, something is wrong with your judgment.

You’re totally fine.
:slight_smile:

How was Sep ACT test in general ?
Awaiting for tomorrow’s result to get a better score, I now have C35

DS’s status also changed to tested just now.

I hope the curve was not too bad, I really want to get a 30 and I am crossing my fingers.

Are the scores coming out in 9 hrs?

Still “registered”! I hope it comes out tomorrow though, the wait is killing me!!

Still registered

Tested.

@FueFueFue Yes!

If mine is still at registered do you guys think that I won’t be getting my scores tomorrow?

Tested

“Tested”

Before these scores get posted and my son has a heart attack, can anyone clarify how Writing will be scored?

Will they be using a 1-12 score or a 1-36 score? I know they have been going back and forth.

Any clarity would be helpful.

ETA: I did the work and looked it up myself. From the ACT website…

@STEM2017 The writing will be out of 36. It was out of 12, but last September they changed it to 1-36. However, the writing score will not be released till at least another week.

@Wisconsinite99 I’m pretty sure they reverted back to 2-12 scoring. From their website…

@amazondotmom @auntyji @STEM2017 do you know if the status doesn’t change to tested, does it mean I won’t get my scores tomorrow?

@HenryFeddersen I don’t know. Sorry.

For international students does it always come out late? When would the next batch be released?

Tested. And for those who have “registered” status, it can still change to “tested” by tomorrow.

@STEM2017 Subscores on the essay are out of 12, but the overall writing score is out of 36. At least it was like that when I took it last time in June.

@Penguin007 so even if now I’m still “registered”, I can still get scores tomorrow?
