Tomorrow the ACT early scores come out. It turns out I do not have enough money on my debit to get it. I am about $2-$3 short. Would anyone be willing to transfer this amount to me by epassporte in exchange for me doing a non cc site for you or some other favor in the future? Please let me know. It would be greatly appreciated.

I took the ACT, and my science section was entirely full of chemistry questions. I've never taken chemistry and didn't even understand what the question was asking, let alone how to solve any of the problems.
I guessed on literally every question and got a 96% on it (43/45 or so)... ended up being my best section. They must have scored it incorrectly or mixed my test with someone else's, lol. But I did pretty well so I'm not complaining.

Yep, I'm happy about it. Got 28, which converts to just about what I got for my SATs also.
But I took the SAT IIs and I totally sucked. Not only that, but I sent them in with my college application to a college that doesn't even require them! It could have only hurt my application.
...I get my answer from the college on Dec. 15, so it's on my mind every day.

Haha I am always bitching about how my scores suck. My first time also with no prep. Hoping for 27+, although I know i ain't getting that since timing killed me. 30 would help me get into Notre Dame, but that is wishful thinking.

George Washington University. I have a good shot of getting in; I match their ideal student profile pretty closely, but of course there's always the chance I get rejected. I really have no idea whatsoever if I'm going to get in. At this point I want to get in more so that I don't have to go through the application process again than anything else.

30 is definitely aiming high but it's definitely possible, I'm expecting around 24-26 for me I hope but I know I'm going to be disappointed. I plan on applying to University of Kentucky and Virginia Tech but I have to get my scores up on both tests. (Best of luck to everyone who's paying $8 tomorrow. lol

It is out of 36. Since my 26 was compromised of higher math and english score it equals a 1200-1220/1600 on the SAT's. That's ok, but that isn't getting me into tufts or Notre Dame. Oh well. I can do better, I am just retarded.... I need to get as close to a 30 as possible. I need to figure out how to finish each section. Time was a huge problem.
Hmm.. i didn't put my ss# on the form cuz i messed up filling it out and i lost the other part of my ticket ( guess i have to wait to see what I got

Fuck, man, I've been trying to get through on the ACT hotline thing since 3 PM EST and I had no luck. It was busy every damn time so every kid in America who lost their ID must be calling that. I called another hotline and she even tried transferring me and she said they were too busy. \ Anyone else take it?
I got a 25 ( i only studied like a hour the night before.....I got 29 in math and 27 in science part... stupid reading and english crushed me. I've always hated english class. Still deciding if I want to retake it... 25 will get me into the college i want but not the scholarships i was hoping for

ACTs are balls hard, so much harder than the SATs although not the SAT 2's but that goes without saying.
I got a 25 my first and only time, I had to go way out of my way to take them too. If any of you are from Jersey I pretty much had to go from Guttenberg to Fort Lee, which is a good like 10 minute drive without traffic =/ Anyway, I didn't like it the sections were too long, but I'm in college now so I couldn't have done that bad eh?

10 minutes is "way out out of [your] way"? I drive 40 minutes to school every day.
I only took the ACT once, and I didn't study for it. If I wasn't so sick of all these standardized tests, I would take it again, but I'm just so tired of them.
