<p>Well today in the mail i got back my ACT booklet with all the answers i chose. I got four wrong total, one question short anywhere (i’m pretty sure) of a 36. </p>

<p>But here is one i got wrong:</p>

<p>“Soon after i arrived…”
6. Which of the following would NOT be acceptable in place of “Soon”?
E: Not long
F: (Nothing)
G: As soon as
H: When</p>

<p>I F****** PUT “NOT LONG” AHHHHHHH</p>

<p>What was i thinking?</p>

<p>No offense, but I’m surprised that this is the question that kept you short of a 36… Were you just extremely tired or are all the questions on the ACT this easy?</p>

3

<p>You probably got your wires crossed and were thinking which one would be acceptable.</p>

4

<p>Must have been a mis-bubble on your part :(</p>

<p>I just want to make sure, the answer is H, right? lol</p>

5

<p>The answer’s F. That’s why it’s in paranthesis, and you could probably figure it out because it has absolutely NOTHING related with time!!</p>

6

<p>35’s not a bad score. Congrats and don’t pound yourself over it.</p>

7

<p>Ummmmmmmmmmm I think I might have put long after if I had this question… >_></p>

<p>can someone tell me WHY it’s not correct?</p>

8

<p>“as soon as after I arrived” and “when after I arrived” both sound wrong…?</p>

<p>Good job on your 35, though. Remember that admissions remembers that you could very possibly have gotten a 36 on another version. As far as I know, they look more in ranges than at exact numbers. 34-36 or 35-36 may mean the exact same thing</p>

<p>You might be in the running as a presidential scholar…</p>

<p>^Vadox, Thats what I thought too. I know it’s off topic, but could someone explain what the answer is?</p>

<p>Guys, the answer G: As soon as. You can’t say “As soon as after i arrived…”. Its convoluted and such</p>

<p>Anyways, now i’m positive i was one question away. I got 36’s in math and reading, one wrong in science for a 35, and 3 wrong in grammar (75 questions) for a 34. One more point anywhere would have been a 36 (they round up if the average of all four scores is a 35.5, mine now is 35.25, and the booklet says that you need 73-74 questions right in grammar for a 35, i got 72.</p>

<p>I’m happy with a 35, i was expecting a 31 or so, but still, its so easy to be like whatifwhatifwhatif. :(</p>

<p>whatifs are horrible, just stay proud of your great score and try and get it out of your head.</p>
