hey, im a junior and i took the act in february and i got a 27. but i have add and theres a chance i could get time and a half for aprils test. my question is how many of you think would benefit by having extra time on the test? do you feel that the only thing stopping you from getting a near perfect score is the lack of time offered?

Did you prep much for it before? A 27 ain't bad for someone with ADD. Did you finish on time? Were you able to concentrate?

no i didnt prep for it, i just wanted to see what i would get. it shows with my math, i forgot some simple geometry rules and stuff like that. i got a 30 in english , 28 in math, 25 in reading and 24 in science. for reading and science i marked c's straight down the middle on like the last 10 questions for each section cos im so slow haha. do any of you know anyone with add who has received extra time on their act and if so did it change their score dramatically? also back to my first question, do most of you think you could significantly raise your score if you received as much time as you wanted?

i took the act with extended time today. i took it once in february under standard time and got a 27, but i took it today with 5 hours to do the test. i think i got around a 34
