Hey guys
So i just took my first practice ACT and got a 26 comp on my ACT (26E, 29M, 25R, 23S) and i was wondering how long it would take to raise my score to a 32 comp. Before this I studied for the Old Sat , but i didn’t get the score i wanted so i decided to take ACT. For those who scored 30+ can you please tell me what you did to achieve your scores and how long it took? I have about 40 days before my june test so do you guys think it is possible for me to raise my score to 29-30 by then. BTW I am currently a junior and i plan to take the act three times ( june 2016, sept 2016, and oct 2016-should be the last time).
Thank you for your time
Also, which sections do you think i should work on first for the most rapid score improvement on ACT?
I received a 32 on my ACT with a 36 in reading and a 34 in science. I think improving your science score would be fairly easy bc it requires minimal knowledge of actual science. All the answers are provided, and the only challenge is the time limit. English would also be easy to improve by a few points. All you need to do is buy an ACT grammar rules book or just search grammar rules on Google.
I did so well on the reading section because I’m a fast reader, and I think I found the passages interesting on the test that I took. The trick is to pay attention while you read (quickly) and remember that all the answers are explicitly stated in the text.
I would take several practice tests, like at least 10 after you have tried to learn more material. I’d say you could improve your score to a 30 in less than a month depending on how often you study.
Good Luck!
You need to understand why you made the mistakes you did and figure out if you can avoid them next time.
