I took the ACT test last year and got a pretty good score of 30. I’m probably going to take it again by the end of this school year, but I’m a bit unsure of how sending the score will work.

When I took it last year, I had no idea what colleges I wanted to attend and so I basically sent my score report to random ones. Now, this year, I have a better idea of what college I want to go to. Although I realize that only your best test score counts, the ACT web site says that only your score report for your specific test date will be sent to the colleges you choose. So, say I get a lower score on the ACT this time around and my score is sent to the new colleges I have chosen. Will they be able to only see this score, or will they also see that I scored a 30 last time?

I know, slightly confusing, but I am confused myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I got the following on my ACT test score.

English: 18
Math: 21
Reading: 24
Science: 20
————————–
COMPOSITE: 21

Here is the whole story. I was taking practice tests and I did great on it. I am confident until the test day. I woke up worried that I am going be late. The whole time in the car, I was cramming up for some extra practice stuff. I went to my test center and it was full of bull crap. It was a very poor colleges with students misbehaving. The supervisor of the test was an ass. She almost had to frisk me because she thought I faked my ID. During the test, this girl was sitting behind me wearing perfume that almost suffocated me during the test. People talking on their CELL PHONE during the test. The supervisor was sitting on her ass sleeping. It was break time and three people were missing for the test. We had wait on them for 20 minutes. I knew the questions but the whole testing arrangement was like living in hell.

How should I handle this next time?

I’m in panic attack mode. i just saw my ACT score and it is 3 points lower than my previous result (31). i had this test score sent to my top choice universities. two of the universities already have my previous score. will they look solely at the high score or see them and wonder whether the first one was lucky? they are still humans and see the scores and think what the hell is going on? should i be worried?

to add on I took the SAT and i did eeeh so-so. does that matter?

I go to Campolindo High School (a public school that is ranked 2nd in the state of California) and I have a cumulative weighted G.P.A. around 3.75 – 3.88 (because I have taken extra college courses outside of school, my G.P.A. is in that range)

Sat Reasoning Test Score (not so good) : 1710: math 570, critical reading 490 and writing 650

Sat II (Biology) – 510 (may improve however)

SAT II (Math level 2) – 540 (may also improve)

My personal statement is very good(considering i got tutored from someone who used to read the freshmen applications for UC Berkeley)

I have really good extracurricular activities as well:
sports – Cross Country (2yrs), Wrestling (1yr). Track and Field (3yrs)
# Volunteering at the American Red Cross (24hours completed)
# My trip to India (community service/distributing medicine for the poor)
# Nano Technology Lectures at UC Berkeley
# Mock Trial
# Mr. GQ (this year)
# Captain/Founder of the Campolindo Bhangra Dance Club
# Dental Internship and Plastic Surgeon Internship
# Leadership at schools – (volunteering at football games, dances and rallies) – cultural event coordinator/organizer
# Material Science Seminar @ Haas School of Business (1 day)
# Pre-engineering program (6 weeks) – hands on experiments w/ math and science

So which UC colleges can I feel confident about getting in to (after all, there is no guarantee) – Thanks

I took a practice ACT and there were some grammar questions that I need clarification with.

Which is correct for the comma?

Red, white, and blue
Red, white and blue

I thought both were OK, but the test had both of them as answer choices. Iv’e seen both of them before so I’m a bit lost.

Also, which is correct?
Charles’
Charles’s

I don’t remember if this was on the test but I think it was, which one is right?

Well actually, not what is right but what would the test score as right.

Thanks =)

the complete question is A college requires applications to have an ACT scores in the top 12% of all test scores, the ACT scores are normally distributed with a mean of 21 and standard deviation of 4.7, what is the lowest test score that a student could get and still meet the college requirement.

I just received my SAT scores from the March exam, and I recieved an 1880. 670-math, 610-CR, and 600-writing. I had a tutor for a few months to help me. I started with an practice test score of 1810 and raised it in diagnostics at least 200 points. I had the expectations of reaching that high score. I’m now scared because all my work and studying didn’t help me all that much. Why couldn’t all my hard work and time pay off? What should I do to try to improve?

Well, I took my second time for the ACT Test on September 13,2008 and I just received my score which is a composite score of 17!! I’m thinking about retaking this test for the third time because I don’t want to apply for college with a 17 on the ACT. The next test date would be October 25, 2008, I have about a month to prepare and study for this test. However, I’m also register to take 3 SAT Subject Tests which is literature, math level 2, and U.S. History on November. So, I will need to study for those too. I want to apply to 3 UC Schools this year, I don’t think I will get accepted if I apply with a 17 on the ACT Exam. Is it still possible for me to get in UC Schools such as UCSB, UCI, and UC Riverside with a 17 on the ACT? Which test score is more important, the SAT Subjects or the ACT?? Should I retake the ACT Test for the third time? Is it worth it?? I’m going to have to study for both tests at the same time.
Oh..my first time taking the ACT Test composite score was only a 15 so I did improve 2 points higher this time. But, still I want to improve it up to at least a 20 because I really want to attend CSU Long Beach and their average ACT Composite score last year was a 22.
