Don't you get points off for guessing on the SAT? That's so dumb. I would do terrible on the SAT.

yeah you friggin lose a quarter of a point.
its bad enough for missing out on points for not getting the question right. but for it to go down more because of deduction. WTF! |

took the ACT. my composite score was 24 for my second take. not the greatest, but i didn't use any prep books. if i could do it over, i'd probably go with the prep books, though.

Some of the juniors who took it this year havent even gotten theirs back yet and they took it in march. Apparently our school sent them in late and the people who score them said they might not even look at them because they were in late. |

My writing score has been up for a while now. I got a 26 for combined English and writing. I don't remember the 1-12 score I got and I'm too lazy to look haha

My writing score was finally released. :)
I got a 10. Better than I anticipated. English/Writing is a 31. I think I might retake the ACT's again. Hopefully I can write just as good of an essay. |

I lost the paper that had my ID on it so I can't check the score for the practice one I took. Nearly four hours of my life wasted that day.

At almost all the schools here you can take the ACT or the SAT. They'll take either one. So most take the ACT since we're required to take it to graduate. That's odd, it seems like most people like the ACT a lot more. |

in california almost everyone takes SAT.
i was flipping through my UC booklet, and it seems like 94% of applicants take the SAT, but only 23% take ACT. some people like me like to take both. well i FINALLY got my ACT score. english: 33 (+3) math: 32 (+2) reading: 23 (-1) science: 26 (-1) writing: still waiting -____- composite: 29 (+1) yeahh. im pretty pissed about the reading and science parts going down. and bringing down my composite score. |

Meh, I got a 26 on the ACT...oh, and my writing score was a 10/12.
I'm going to retake it in the fall. I was hoping for a 30 or higher. |
