5th time taking ACT? help.

<p>Hey everyone.
I've taken the ACT 4 times.
I'll be honest I studied very little for the four tests and I really don't think I reached my potential.</p>

<p>In order of test dates I received:
23 com
25 com
25 com
23 com</p>

<p>This is MY LAST chance to get a 26. I need it for admission at my university.
I REALLY want to go there and I know I can do it.
I've signed up for the April test and have hired a tutor to help me for the next six weeks.
I have also been practicing every day.</p>

<p>Is this possible, and what should I do to study?
any book recommendations and PLEASE, if you have any words of confidence, I could really use them..I'm getting terrified that I will not make a 26.</p>

<p>I'm aiming for a 27 so just in case on the test I make a point lower than normal, I'm okay.</p>

<p>Thanks guys.</p>

<p>you shouldn’t have taken it if you weren’t sure you were going to improve. I have taken it 4 times but I was sure I was going to improve b/c of the Practice Tests. Use the Real ACT Prep Guide</p>

<p>I took the test 4 times as well.</p>

<p>I took 8 practice tests between my 3rd and 4th test. That is why I scored 5 points higher :D.</p>

<p>I agree with JuBOBO. Taking accurate practice tests helps a lot. You also have to be very dedicated to study hard. Composite went from 26 to 32</p>
