Your ACT Score

  This should be interesting. Probably smell a lot of burning pants.
  
  Mine was certainly nothing of greatness. Only a 21 my first time and 24 the 2nd time. My english score killed me both times.....damn southern ohio.
  
  My 15-year-old daughter just got hers back and scored a 26. She wants to take it again after her junior year.

  31 ... math held me back. Funny because on the GRE it was the opposite, my math was higher than my verbal.
• Ironman92

  

  nice....math was my saving grace
  
  After the test, I thought I did really well on the english part, when I got my score back I thought I must've colored in the wrong circles for the question. My 2nd time was better but proved much of the same.

  27 both times...science got me (maybe it was just my negative attitude about science that cost me)

  What's the lowest anyone has ever heard?
• gerb131

  

  21 and a 23. Math is my downfall.....

  27... The 19 in Reading and 21 in Science killed me!

  I worked in admissions at my university, I remember seeing some 11's.

  You get 10 for spelling your name right.

  Good God, I'd say. What did you get in the other two? 34?
• ernest_t_bass

  

  I needed a 21 to reach the certain level of admissions I wanted. I got a 22 the first time and didn't take it again. If I took it again, I'm sure I would have gotten either a 35 or a 10.

  I'd say Rio Grande would've taken an 11.

  28. I don't remember what section I did well or poorly on.

  Loves these threads, they always bring out the smartest of the smart!
  
  I got a 26. I always hated Science, and it came back to bite me.
• Ironman92

  

  Sounds like you must've done pretty well on all of them.
• Ironman92

  

  Yeah, still waiting on some members of mensa.
• j_crazy

  

  31. don't remember how i did on the parts, but do know my low score was the reading part.
  
  oddly enough i did much worse than i thought (based on my ACT score) on the SAT, like a 1050.
• enigmaax

  25 the first time, 28 the second. Science sucked. I was so tired of the test the second time, I blind guessed a large part of the science section and got around a 19, after getting a 21 the first time (might have been the other way around). Did fairly well in English and Math - 33 and 30.
• superman

  I got a 31. The lowest I ever heard was a 9. Rumors flew in my hometown, that it cost him a schollie to Penn State.
• Fab4Runner

  

  These threads are sooooo great.
• j_crazy

  

  yeah i should've probably prefaced my score with the fact that i got a 27 the first time. that 31 was on the second attempt.
• fish82

  

  28...taken on 2 hours sleep and the stench of Little Kings still on my breath. Top that.
• Ironman92

  

  ^^^^ 33 in english.....lol Yeah, that's fairly well. More than doubled my english score.
• bigkahuna

  18 as a Sophomore and 24 as a Junior, was good with that so stopped.
• Ironman92

  

  ^^^big improvement My daughter said not ever having any chemistry hurt her she felt......but still got a 24 on the science. Hope she can jump a little higher.
