is a 17 score on the ACTS extremely terrible? does this score have any hope?

Well it is not the greatest but remember that colleges look for more than just ACT or SAT scores.  Not many schools even look at ACT--where are you planning to attend?  BYU?  In addition to SAT or ACT scores they also look at school participation in clubs, athletics, leadership, community involvement, church involvement, etc...  So if you are involved in other things you can still have a shot at a good university.

The MAT scaled scores currently range from 200 to 600 with a mean (average) of 400. So a score of 363 is somewhat below the average score. In order to know just how much below average this score represents you need to know the standard deviation of the test to see if it 363 is greater than one standard deviation below the norm. Otherwise it would fall within the normal range.\n\nYour personal score report should also have given you a percentile rank, which tells you how you did in comparison with others who took the test. This is sometimes easier to understand than standard scores. For example, a percentile rank of 45 means that you scored as high or higher than 45 out of 100 people who took the test.

Yes the above poster is correct but is also cocky...this is NOT a college test...it is a HIGH SCHOOL test but for some advice...memorize the TYPES of errors they give....doing so made writing my best section on the SAT last time rather than the worst which it was before that.

I couldn't afford the courses either (over a grand for some help? No ma'am!) but I did pretty much the same thing you did. I got a couple of help books, went to different websites that gave me free practice tests, got an idea of what the test was all about by starting all this about six months before the actual exam and I ended up scoring at 1400 (this is the old SATS, out of 1600). \n\nIf you can get a group together to do faux practice tests, it'll work out even better. Me and my friend would compare how we got different answers. Even if we both got them right, it was helpful to see how someone else deduced the answer and ended up helping me out a lot on the test because I could try to answer hard questions using a different method. \n\nGood luck on your committee. It definitely sounds like a very good way to prepare our hispanic youth for their futures

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.

you have to devote your whole life to the stage. always be prepared to be unprepared, and don't be afraid to ask for help. if you're struggling between grades and fine arts, i know where you are and it all depends on the tests, no one will want you to perform for them if you don't have great grades in everything.

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

The average score is about a 152. But you will need around a 170 for the better programs.  I suggest Kaplan.  They even have a higher score guarantee.  I think the direct office number is 617-661-6965.

umm did i just help u cheat on this test by giving u the answers? if i did, just pretend my answers were guesses. and no nobody cares about anything except SAT / ACT for college. if u do well, ur school will probably put u in advanced classes

The score was Franklin 59, Pius 23. You posted in the wrong category though.\nThe chap below keeps editing his post to try and out do me. I don;t know who he is, but I once gave him a best answer and he has been following my questions ever since, I;m a bit concerned.

ACT is a test that takes a lot of knowledge and puts it all together.  Knowing this you have to kno what to expect on the test.  To do this you have to STUDY!  Buy a book and do the test in the book.  The more tests you take the better your knowledge is of what to expect and the higher your score is.  Don't be scared to guess on the test.  It is better to mark something then nothing...ever if you don't have much time left and you have 10-20 questions left pick a letter and just mark all of those questions.  Good luck!

A 1500 is definitely an average score. The mean scores for each section is roughly 500 apiece, making the average total score around 1500. Thus, your score is not great, but not the worst.

If you are going to take it again, make sure you are doing something different to prepare for it like taking a prep class, etc. If you don't, the test is designed so that your scores won't change that much given your same level of skills and effort. 30 points out of the scoring range of 600-2400 is not that much. Many colleges and scholarship committees take the average of all your scores. And as previously suggested, you may also want to consider taking the ACT as well. Good luck.

That's a pretty good score. - Congratulations! But it depends on what school you want to get into. Probably some Ivy leagues won't think that's good enough.

If you can't score at least 750 on the SAT Math section then don't bother.  Otherwise, just register for it, and then beg if you have to.  You're obviously not concerned about English.

the ACT is easier than the SAT in my opinion, go get a book and review the different subjects and go to the ACT website, and click the option where it says to sign up through US mail or something similar to that, and they send you a practice test. i recommend you to study for science because that was one of the most difficult parts.

I have. That was one year ago though and I can't remember a decent score. Try asking your leader about that.
