ACT Practice way too easy?

<p>Hey guys</p>

<p>On my practice tests, especially in the Science and Reading sections, I score very high. I miss maybe 3 questions MAX, am usually in the 33-36 range.</p>

<p>However, on the real thing, I score pathetically. I got a 29 and 28 in reading and science respectively last time around. I have taken it 5 times and want to be done (I want a 32+!!) and only have a highest of 29 right now! I feel confident everytime because I score so highly on practices and even while taking the real thing but am disappointed when I get my results back. I know I am capable of scoring higher.</p>

<p>Help?</p>

<p>Oh, and these are the books I use:</p>

<p>REAL ACT
McGraw-Hill’s (got a few of em) Just finished a few practice tests on here and scored 34-35
Barron’s <–I find these to be harder than the real thing and kind of an esteem killer lol so I avoid it.</p>

<p>use Barrons. The only reason you say it’s a esteem killer is because it’s a challenge. Many 36 scorers score 30 on Barrons, and it’s good to raise your score instantly.</p>

<p>Princeton review was pretty accurate for me if you want to try that.</p>

<p>Hahahah…we established like a week ago that McGraw Hills is a horrible book. And here’s to proving that they provide you with false confidence. </p>
