I would hope most people would say higher now.

Thus, what's the point of bragging about an ACT score*?




*33 composite ACT score checking in.

Higher now. Cousin scored a 35 and was mad because he didn't have enough time to answer the last 4 questions.

29 here, and they didn't have the "composite" (where they take all of your best scores over all your attempts) when I took it.

I would do worse now than I did in high school as I haven't been in calculus (trig really) and other things since high school.

I haven't had a math class in almost 20 years so I probably wouldn't do good on that part now.

The ACT or SAT are for rookies, the only legit comparisons are among GRE, LSAT, and MCAT scores.

Composite score is your overall score on one exam combining all four sections. You're talking about super scoring.

ACT: then
SAT: now

this is just a guess. i only took the ACT in 7th grade, so i hardly remember it, but i know it's more achievement oriented where the SAT is aptitude oriented.

Higher.

I think that the math would be a bigger challenge, but I didn't take the test seriously high school. I took it hungover, on about 4 and half hours of sleep.
