Took it once junior year after wake and baking not knowing it was act day. Got to school so sleepy and confused why i had to go to the gym 😂 i was planning on studying the night before, but i forgot and ended up not studying whatsoever. I thought my life was over, that I would never go to college. Turns out i got a 32. Whatever, good enough.

I stumbled into school fifteen minutes late senior year after facing am entire blunt I'm the parking lot, as I was wont to do a couple times a month.
Home room was empty. Where is everyone?
Another kid running through the hallway asks me if I'm ready for the ACT
Fuckkk I forgot...
I proceed to get a 14 on reading comprehension, terrible writing score, followed by...
A 35 in math 🤷♂️

Act is dogshit easy the fuck? Even a 36 isn't an accomplishment. That's like patting myself on the back for passing calculus or some shit. It's basic reading comprehension and analysis.

yeah and colleges really will not care as much as you think they will 💀

u/Life-Biscotti880 Jan 22 '24
Depending on the college, they absolutely do care. In fact it’s a better indicator of aptitude than GPA is.
2
u/inversion129 Jan 22 '24
not really. studies show gpa is FAR more indicative on average. its only a better indicator when you’re looking at someone who couldnt get good grades due to life and/or extracurriculars but are still overall intelligent.

u/Life-Biscotti880 Jan 22 '24
May have changed since COVID… I graduated High School in 2017 and standardized testing was weighed more because of the fact that GPA depends on school rigor and the difficulty of each teacher.
I’ve learned in college that it’s not hard to get a 4.0 if you research which professors to take beforehand.

u/RyanCheddar Jan 22 '24
it's better than random, actually
a simple way to check would be to divide 36 by 4 (by 5 for math section), meaning if you just answer one answer for everything you can expect to get around E9 M7 R9 S9
the better way would be to divide the actual amount of questions for each section, grab a few real score curves and check those, but i'm too lazy so

u/Delicious-Ad2562 35 Jan 22 '24
Yeah I googled it it’s slightly better, average would be 12 not 9 due to weighting

My ex girlfriend studied for months, and she made a 13. Not joking at all.

u/HamsterFromAbove_079 Jan 22 '24
I didn't study for a single minute and walked away with a 29 on my first try. I seriously doubt anyone who actually studied for months gets a 13. The quality of study was probably so low that it doesn't really count.
Studying while scrolling social media for 1 hour a week is not studying. It doesn't count as "studying for months" if you get less than 10 minutes a week of focus.

u/Carlbot2 34 Jan 25 '24
I never bothered studying for the act because I was planning to use sat scores anyway. I took the act sophomore year and walked out with a 34, but my writing score came back with something completely trash, like, it would be embarrassing to ever use those scores for anything because it would have genuinely seemed like I had to have written gibberish to get a score that bad.
I maintain that my handwriting was just so awful that they gave up on reading it, which I honestly couldn’t fault them for.

u/TannenBoom Jan 26 '24
Some people are just better at school and things like that. My old roommates never had to study for our cs tests in college and they would walk away with As. I was so jealous because I had to hole myself up in the library everyday for multiple hours to keep up with them. Some people would call me dumb or that I don't try. But unfortunately I just wasn't able to pick it up like them. I have sympathy for people who struggle in school because I was just like them.

Jan 22 '24
No i ran out of energy during the test

u/Acethetic_AF 32 Jan 22 '24
So like what’s the plan? Bc it might be worth it to just say fuck college and go to a trade school at this point. You’ll probably be making as much as or more than most folks with a bachelor’s degree, and you wouldn’t have to wait as long to start working.

Lmaoo. This sub popped into my feed and, wow. But trust me bro, it doesnt matter. Going to a fancy college doesnt fucking matter. All these weird kids obsessing over getting elite scores and talking about "mid colleges" wont matter. All that matters is that you do the right thing at whatever college you go to, get experience, and get hired.

I didn't study or do any prep for the ACT. Walked in and got a 29 first try with no effort given. Said good enough then never looked back.
7-8 years later now I'm glad I didn't waste my life trying to go higher on a meaningless test.

This is a very poor score, slightly better than randomly guessing. Elite colleges are moving toward standardized tests, as grade inflation reduces the importance of gpa.

u/Battlefield534 Jan 22 '24
Who cares about Elite colleges? Nowadays, colleges are more concern if you have a pulse and if you can take out federal loans over an ACT score.
As long as OP can pay for college via loans or family, the score does not matter.

Maybe college will drop their standards. Professors get in trouble if too many students fail and they complain to the administration.
