ACT score

I took the ACT for the first time last weekend (I'm a junior) and I was just wondering approximately what I should expect to get. I'm like 99% sure I got all the english correct, there was like 3 math problems I probably got wrong, the reading I probably missed 2 or 3 and the science I probably missed the last 3-4 because I ran out of time. Does anyone know an approximation of what I should expect to get if I missed all the ones I think i could have?

nahh, i got so many wrong and i got a 23...im guessing you would get a 33 if you really did only miss that few of the questions.

The thing is you may think you got them all right, but most likely you didn't. That's what happened to me, but I ended with a 31. So maybe that, but just enjoy the anxiety of waiting a few months.

no no no no no, you cant miss that many and get a 33 (sorry), like the guy said above 31 is probably what youre looking at, but good work for sure!

That score is below average. Take it again.

this, and consider studying/getting a tutor. A good act score can do huge things for you

Which reminds me, unless you got a 36, it doesn't hurt to retake it again.

Worst case scenario, you waste 3 hours out of one of the 52 saturdays of the year. Best case scenario, you are able to get into a way better college and receive lots of money in merit scholarships. My math score alone got me a half ride to UP.

study until you know everything that relates to the test, then keep studying
as for potions, i hear a few shots of everclear before the test helps clear your mind

I feel that most kids that take adderal for the SAT/ACT do worse than those who don't, just because they use the drug as an excuse to not study as hard.

I got my score back today and I got a 30. I'm really happy with that because I know I could have done better so I'm hoping to get that up to a 32 in one of the next 2 i take.
