I heard it was like a 1500.....is there a higer one? I know that the highest score on the ACT is a 36 or a 37, and that pays for your whole tuition.

Oh yeah. A handful of people every time would get a perfect 1600. But now, the max score is 2400. I'm sure someone's already done it.

That's great! It translates to about 1450 or so on the old SATs, if that helps. Most scholarships haven't necessarily adapted to this score though, so if you see a request for the score out of 1600, add the scores from the Verbal and Math sections.

Most place will take the highest verbal, math and writing scores from any of the times you take it.  You can mix scores to get your highest possible.  There are some places that only take the highest overall score from a sitting.  You can always email the school to find out which one it is.\n\nAlmost all college will not care about your lower scores if you only take the test twice.  I have heard about school looking at them if you take the SAT like five or more time.  This should not be for you.

1228 out of 2400? because then it is not that great, but you will still get into some colleges as long as you apply to easier and less competitive colleges.\n\n1228 out of 1600 is not bad at all. for your first time especially. try it again, if you can oull of a 1300 out of 1600 then you're set for some pretty good schools, along with good high school grades and activities of course.\n\ngood luck, and where are you planning to apply?

According to national statistics, it is between 20 and 21... But I think that if you think you could do better a second time around then you should definitely go for it. I took the test on June 10th (a week and a half ago) and I havnt got my results back yet but I dont think I did my best. So im treating this time like a practice test and I am going to take it again in October...Remember, the better your ACT score is, the more options you will have in choosing a college. And almost everyone raises their score at least a point or two the next time they take the test... Because you are more familiar with it you will do better also.

The score report that College Board sent you should tell you what percentile your score falls into.  The higher your percentile, the fewer people who scored higher than you did (so the better the score is considered).  50th percentile is considered average, with half the people scoring above 50%tile and half scoring below 50%tile.\n\nThere are 3 sections on the SAT w/ a max of 800 per section.  Average in any one section is typically around 500, so average for the whole test is about 1500 (500 x 3).  1610 is a little above average... a respectable score, but not mind-blowingly high like a 2300-2400 would be.

A schoolmate of mine got a perfect 36 on his ACT, his name is Gene Kopp. It's extremely difficult to do, but I'm sure on ACT's website they have a basic frame or circiculum on what to study. They also publish lots of books and study guides that are for sale on their website or in your favorite neighborhood bookstore. You can do it, it just takes a lot of study time and as many practice tests as you can afford.

An ACT test is geared definitely towards mathmatics (all types of it, too).  It also requires a lot of reading comprehension--this was my problem, because they give you passages that are so boring you must read and reread them to even get the gist of what it's about.  Science is involved, but it is the easiest part, in my opinion.  That's because I like that sort of thing.  You can do a Yahoo search for sample ACT tests, and see what you are headed for.  I would recommend that approach for now.  You don't have much time left.  When I took the ACT it was written form--I'm not sure it's changed or not to computer form.  But regardless, practice with the online testing and you will gain a better background and preparedness for the test.  Good luck to you!

Whether or not it is a good score depends on your goals for college, and it also depends on the strength of your application as a whole.  With a horrible GPA, recommendations, essay, etc., even a top ACT score will get you nowhere fast.  On the flip side, a mediocre ACT can be carried along by a solid high school transcript, amazing recs..you get the picture.\n\nTo be honest, your score will leave you in the middle of the pack at most schools (see the post about 21 being the national average).  Often, college admissions is about setting yourself apart and above from the average, so if you decide to keep your 24, I would suggest you put plenty of effort into your GPA (if that's still possible), be intentional about earning your teachers' respect (which will help lots in recommendations), and overall seek to make everything else about you stand out.  \n\nHopefully you studied for the ACT, and barring any hugely tramatic or highly irregular events in your life during/after the test, it is often best to stick with your original score.  But again, the choice is yours.  If you feel like additional studying would help raise your score, consider checking out a book from the library or ordering one. Princeton Review and Kaplan offer quality prep materials, and there are many other companies out there too.  Also, you can take a prep course, offered by numerous companies including those listed above.  These two methods (I studied on my own) are good ways to improve your score (obviously this method is best employed before the test, but will help if you decide to retake as well).  \n\nAnother thing to consider is the school to which you plan to apply.  Check out their 25%/75% listings for ACT scores. If you fall in the 75% or above, you have a competetive chance of getting in without retaking, assuming everything else equal.  If you are near or below the 25%, the rest of your application will need to be stellar...or you need to be the Dean's son/daughter.  Also, you should find out how your prospective schools deal with multiple ACT scores. Some average, some take the top but consider all.  If you are applying to a school that takes the top score, seriously consider taking the test again if you think additional preparation will allow you to score higher.  \n\nSure, a higher score will improve your chances of admission at the school of your choice, but there are many other factors to consider when deciding whether or not to retake the ACT.  Admissions committees consider a whole lot more than just the test score, and not to diminish its importance, but a low score will not necessarily preclude you from consideration at the school of your choice.  \n\nUnless you want to go to Harvard, Yale, Stanford (or any ivy league or top tier school)...then odds are you're screwed unless you retake and get a 36.

A 1700 ON THE SAT IS ABOVE AVERAGE.  COMPARE YOUR SCORE TO THE AVERAGE IN UR AREA TO SEE HOW WELL U DID.  TO GET INTO COLLEGE A 1700 IS A GREAT SCORE.

Wow.  You have everything?  Except the .05 for your grades.  Guess what, I got into college with lower than a 2.0 before.  You just need to talk to the teacher and say something like: I really want to go, but will I be able to even though I am .05 below the 8.0 grade scale?  I could boost this up if given the opportunity, but to prevent me from going because of a minor thing such as .05 which is not much compared to 1.0  which is not as close as 7.95 as it is exactly 8.0, so if you are as confused as me, would you consider a solution to this problem because I am so close to having an 8.0.  Do I have to go to summer school to improve that by .05 points in order to go?  Is there something I can do to ensure I can go?  Will I be allowed to go even if I do not meet 8.0?  And out of how many others have perfect scores and are allowed to go?  "Just because something or somebody tells you that you cannot, or you will not do this or that, then you must step up and say how come?  Why?  Then after they answer, do you easily give up?  No, you fight back with your words because you really want to go to L.A.  So, do as I have suggested, stay calm and collected and speak softly, but carry a big stick, that is your mouth, and the words that come out of your mouth shall stick to them faster if you go over it like a rational adult without arguing or complaining.  So, be brave, be courageous and when you are ready to speak, let your heart do the talking for you.  Believe it or not, I have always gotten farther with a positive attitude.  But this nation is so accustomed to complainers and whiners that they easily quit on what they really want to do.  No wonder we have psychology!  So, you really do know what to say now, don't you?  Remember the last time you got what you wanted without asking for it first?  Who hands out anything on a silver platter here?  I work hard and earn everything just like you.  So, having a physical disability didn't keep me from acheiving my goals or accomplishing my dreams.  But others who wouldn't allow me to do these did, and they got the wake up call when I spoke from my heart's content, that they were so touched they just had to give me what I wanted because God did the talking for me.  I am just a vessel He uses to get what He wants for me, believe this and you will not need to know what to say when He speaks through your mouth and out comes the words, and it makes you happy because you gained more bravery.  Or you can accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior since He died for your sins, man.  That we are brothers no matter what anyone else may say or do, and it is because God answered your question through me.  No one in their right mind can reject Him.  Hence the words: Right mind.  That means: Free from stress and disappointment in yourself, as well as others.  And I am not a preacher, yet I preach the message as it is universal understanding of getting from one point to another.  You have the help you require when you help yourself first.  Help yourself by speaking and verbalizing your concerns to the teacher, to the administration, to even the president of the United States, but who is going to listen unless you do something out of the ordinary.  Remember, you are like a stranger in a country of your own.  You speak the language differently now.  You should love yourself, so you may do what you really like, then you can use this to help others love themselves so the entire world will love one another, even their enemies and strangers they do not know.  This is the message and it has never changed.  Do you believe it?  Do you want it?  You have to want it more than going to L.A. in order to get to L.A. for those who trust in Jesus get what they need, and even what they want.  And those who do not, I tell you, are suffering needlessly.

best bet is to go for the highest mark. It does depend on the test though. my A+ said it was 80% but after i passed on my pass sheet is said 75% so my ACPT and ACDT both said 80 and were 80 my ACHDS said 70 and was 65 so i would assume the full 87% and hope your lucky and its lower

My average score is 809. (814 is the highest of the three scores)\n\n699 is respectable.  Just keep up to date with all payments and your score will go up over time.\n\nI think riblix (below) got rejected on a loan to buy a pack of gum.

my whole town basically tries to go to UGA and i have spoken to a rep from there. i know about their admissions. I think you have to write 4 short essays and they look mostly at your grades and SAT scores. basically they both have to be good. If your grades suck, and you have a super-high SAT, they may not let you in bc you're not a hard-worker. They have a good advertising program i'm sure.

720 is good, but I know there another scoring system call Vanguard.  Your score is good enough to get a Discover, but Discover isn't accepted at all place, but its a good start though.\n\n\nLC
