ACT prep: help needed

Test Preparation ACT Preparation
1

<p>I took a practice test at Sylvan and i got a composite of 25. I want to get at least a 31 on the June 14 test.</p>

<p>English: 27
Math: 23
Reading: 27
Science: 21</p>

<p>I have the Real ACT prep book. What would be the best way to prepare for this test? I am not going to Sylvan anymore, so that isn't any help. I keep on running out of time on the Math and Science sections. I think that i am doing okay on the english and reading sections, but don't really know how to improve my score. I would love to be solid on all the sections, so suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :)</p>

<p>If you're just waking up now to a test that's 5 days away you're too late</p>

<p>But you can take it again and get the real act and princeton review
barrons too</p>

<p>those are the 3 books worth getting imo</p>

<p>yes, just taking the practice tests over and over will help with speed. Make sure you understand the questions that you are missing as well. I got a 29 first try and working to get to 31 or above. I met with a great tutor who suggested the above plan to me.</p>

<p>Go to the library and do the practice tests from all the ACT books there over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over until it's time for the real thing.</p>

<p>When you're practicing the science section, don't spend too much time reading the passage/graphs before starting on the questions. Often each Q will focus on a single chart or paragraph, so going to the questions quickly can save time. I know many people like to completely skip reading before starting with the questions but I think skimming over the material can help and doesn't waste time.</p>
