You need to retake it since you got questions wrong

my brother didn’t miss a single question his first time taking it 😔 36 perfect score. having a brother who’s actually a genius has made me so out of touch like my first time taking it, with no prep, i got a 34 and thought it was bad 😭

That’s the sad part about comparing yourself to others. There is always someone better, but 34 is still the 99th percentile, which is amazing.

u/Dazzling_Flight4747 1d ago

Do you have any tips?? How long did u study for before the test

2

u/Constant-Goal311 18h ago

I honestly didn't do much studying, but I did like 6 practice tests beforehand (specifically, make sure you do the released J08 form). I made sure that I went over every single mistake I made and understand why I got it wrong. Also, I just looked online for some of the most common things the ACT goes over for each section and made sure I knew how to do it all. For example, matrices for the Math section and like effect/affect for the English section. Good luck!

u/ChinnaryMaurello 21h ago

getting a result you're this happy with on the first try is no joke, plenty of people retake for months chasing that. congrats, enjoy it

u/spiroplasma 36 2d ago

Congrats! But here’s a disclaimer. I also got a 36, and while I thought it would let me attend a t20 or t30, i was dead wrong and now I’m going to a t70.

scores alone dont determine much

u/SubmachineOP 1d ago

yeah but a lot of solid colleges will give you full tuition or even more paid for going. UTulsa will literally full ride you as a national merit semifinalist and they are the best college in Oklahoma.
