Yea, if I was going to embellish, I'd have said something above 32. Coincidentally, that's what my little brother got. He currently drives for Lyft full time. Test scores aren't everything.

True story, my 29 consisted of a 24 in Science and a 31 in the other 3. Every time I took the damn thing, my math, reading and English scores went up and my science went down. Pissed me off.

It should piss you off considering the science part was just a glorified second reading section.

Some lying fricks in this thread!!!

Got a 21 my Sophomore year which got me TOPS so I didn’t take it again. I was pretty lazy in high school

I got a 25 my first time around and was generally satisfied as I knew I was getting TOPS. My dad made me take it again under the wisdom that scores always go up the second time around. I know it's cliche but I legit got drunk the night before, because it's high school and I was irresponsible, and ended up with a 24 on the second go. Disappointed but really didn't want to take it again. It's been a minor nuisance to me that I didn't score at least a 27 or better, as that's the range I was expecting, but oh fricking well.

There are multiple folks in here admitting to scoring under 30, so I’m not sure what crawled up your arse.



Nothing up my arse. I'll proudly admit I scored 26 on mine. I just think there's a bit of exaggeration going on.

That was a bad decision. A 24 could have been more money for you. Surprised your parents wouldn't suggest it.

So what does it tell you about a person that makes a low ACT score; good GPA in school and passes professional exams that are way harder than the ACT. Dumb as nails I guess.

You're just mad people did better than you. Is it really that hard to believe there are many on a college based message board that beat a 26?

Made a 28 sophomore year without prep and hungover as shite.

That was good enough for my post high school plans so I didn’t even think about it again.

Took in 7th: got a 21.

Took again in 11th: 26. Forgot my calculator, had to borrow a pencil, and left Silliman graduation party at 6:30 in the morning to go take it at Redemptorist.

Got a 12 in math other sections were in 30's. Science Reasoning and English are incredibly easy drunk. Read question, skim for answer or look at graph.


ACT, or any standardized tests, are not hard. Only math requires actual work.

Well shite...maybe I didn’t have a 18 in the math then. Been a while. I remember what I got in the language sections. I just know my math brought me down to a 31 overall.


Which makes sense on my miscalculation. Sense i’m Not a math person
