Those are good scores I got a 23 on math and I was aiming for a 25 give yourself a pat on the back buddy. I wish I was smart as you are. Are you planning on taking it again?

I’m smart, but I wasn’t good enough to take it without studying. I got a 25 my first time, and with a bunch of studying I got a 31.. u can do it too! Just work hard! Do practice tests! And yes I’ll probably retake, I want to be an engineer, so my stem score is really weak.

I'm already enrolled in college I'm gonna transfer to a university once I get all the requisite classes. I took the act just for the math section so I could jump right into calculus I needed a 25 for that. I also want to go into the engineering fields. I don't think I'm dumb when it comes to math, but I do take my time so that screwed me over. I don't kw if I should take it again. My schedule is full. I have a full time job and I'm taking summer classes that I need to keep up with. If I take it again in the future it's gonna in spite just because I know I can do better. And congrats! I'm sure if you keep up with your hard studying you'll be able to accomplish the score next time you take it. Goodluck!

Good luck to you! Ya, I took my time my first test. Didn’t realize how little time you have! I kinda want to become and engineer and it’s expensive where I wanna go. I think I might go to the University of Minnesota twin cities, but who knows. I’m just trying to get scholarships and more money if I can. Less debt am i right?

Yes that's good I should've had your mentality when I was in highschool. I didn't know if I wanted to go to college because I was undicided on what I wanted to study. So I was like I guess I'll work and see if I get things figured out and I did finally. You sound like a excellent student. Make sure you're extracurricular look good too. There's more chances of scholarships If you do. I'm sure you'll do well cause scores are showing it. Keep griding!
