Just curious, I took a practice test a week ago and got my results today. I got a 29.

I'm pretty happy with this score, seeing as I took it at 9 o'clock PM on a weekday after school, extracurriculars, work, homework, and with no dinner. I was so tired I had trouble finishing most of the sections.

32 on English
28 on Reading
28 on Science
26 on Math (heh)

Oh well, I got a full paid scholarship to any school in FL with that score so I'm not complaining :D

First time I took it I got a 30. Second time I got a 32. It has been so long ago, I don't think the scores matter anymore.

Composite of 31. I got a 36, with zero missed questions in science. My math sucked hard core beucase at that time I had not taken most of the math classes that were needed to do well. I think I got a 26 or so. I would have to pull it to be sure.

30... aced the "science" part and did well on the math, but bombed the reading section because it bored the hell out of me...

Composite score of 31.

I thought I'd do way better then that since blank answers don't count off.....but my verbal back then was extremely lacking. I think I got a 23 or 24 on verbal, and did really well on Math and Science.

I hate standardized tests.

30 composite. 36 in reading, 34 in Science Reasoning, 28 in English, 26 in math. That was in the 10th grade. Didn't take it again.

I took my ACT test in like 1988, so I don't know how comparable the scores are to the current system. IIRC, I scored a 25 or 26, damned math portion killed me. I really hated math back then, it intimidated me but not so much today.

The national median score was 19 at the time.
