nadiaj0y 261 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I took ACT awhile ago and I finally got my score.. it's really bad, fml. Have you received yours? edit: Do you feel that ACT determines your intelligence? I personally don't think so, especially when I'm doing decent in school and am a part of the Honors but I got a really terrible score. I guess it's all about the anxiety and how confident you are.

But you're right ~ I guess I'm bad at taking tests which is actually true because it often occurs. This was my second test and I got the same score. I should've studied a lot. fmlfml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzo 4,159 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 sat and act scores don't determine intelligence. I know people with 2200+ sats who suck at college lol.. I never took the ACT however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesargent 2,935 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 When I was in high school I took it and got a 26. Then I had to retake it because I was accused of cheating (I didn't cheat ). I also got a 26 the second time and I was okay with my score. I definitely don't feel like it determines your intelligence. I know a really smart guy I was friends with in hs who scored very low on his because he's just not a good test-taker.

YooJeong 6,303 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Don't hate me but the first time I took it in March I got a 33 and I retook it with writing and got a 35 :\ I didn't study the first time, but I did a practice test before I retook it, so that helped me bump my score up. I had an advantage because I already had taken calc when I took it so the math part was easy, and the rest is all about timing. 34 meh A 34 is a good score, why meh? Even if you want to get into Stanford, a 34 is more than good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was my second test and I got the same score. I should've studied a lot. fmlfml Don't. The ACT honestly doesn't matter. Like seriously. My friend got a 35 and he was rejected from the same school that my other friend got into with a 30. And also, the ACT has nothing to do with intelligence. It's 100% about timing and knowing the structure of the test. You will do great things regardless of whether you got a 36 or 20 or 10 on this shitty test. Honestly, what gets you success and "intelligence" is simply hard work and effort, and passion for what you do. Don't feel bad<3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend has a 36, will be valedictorian, volunteers at a research center for Alzheimer's, etc. And got rejected from Yale. My other friend got a 30 (31 superscore) but wrote a kickass essay and got into Yale ED.... I think scores matter but honestly, essays and letters of rec and ECs matter more. The 34 definitely won't hold you back And I hope you get in RD! All best wishes to you <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovebelt 1,037 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 i got a pretty average score and still got accepted into the colleges i wanted so i don't think it measures you intelligence at all. you can always retake it if you'd like i did and my score only improved by two pts... lol but yeah.

_Joo 2,335 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I got a 35, but I also had years of attending expensive test prep classes which helped a LOT. Doing well on the ACT/SAT is more about practice and understanding how the test is structured; it really isn't indicative of your intelligence so don't feel bad! 34 meh yoo a 34 isn't meh at all :/ my friend got into Harvard with a 34...
