<p>I went from a 26(feb) to 27(april) by doing nothing. Was too busy with school work</p>
<p>28 - February
34 - April</p>
<p>(Did all 3 practice tests in the Red Real ACT Prep Guide and used the Princeton Review’s “Cracking the ACT” to learn English grammar rules, geometry laws, and tips for science/reading) Good luck to you all - I’m done! :)</p>
<p>30 - Feb
32 - April
hehe I guess I’m set since I was an ESL XD
I’m so amazed to see that apparently everyone who got >= 32 (1% of ALL testers) is in CC lol!</p>
<p>I thought the state administration was much harder… there were some problems on there that would not have been on a normal ACT. idk, the national ACTs are much better standardized, and I think that accounted for any discrepancies between my 2 official scores.</p>
<p>went from…
Feb: 26
April: 28
did nothing to prepare for both of them because i was too busy with school.</p>
<p>34 to 36 feb to april</p>
<p>33 to 35!
English stayed the same, Math increased by 2 points, Reading by 3 points, and Science by 3 points.</p>
<p>When do essay scores come out again?</p>
<p>Essays will probably be up in a couple of weeks</p>
<p>What is the difference between the state and national administrations?</p>
<p>thats something i’d like to know too…
is the state one harder?
im taking mine the 22nd…</p>
<p>idk, maybe this is just me, but I felt like that there was a level of standardization missing from the state test… Usually I can sort of “feel” what an answer is supposed to be on a standardized test (hard to explain, and it doesn’t work so well for math section).</p>
<p>But most of my friends thought the national test was easier, and most of the people I know picked up a couple of points going from the state test to the national test.</p>
<p>This is pure speculation though, it’s very possible that I’m wrong.</p>
<p>Until reading this thread, I had no idea that there were state versus national administrations and that it made any difference!</p>
<p>Someone got a 5 point increase last year in my school, and he got challenged by the ACT producers… The guys parent hired a lawyer and stuff… He had to retake the ACT alone while a real ACT proctor watches him. In the end, his score was terminated because he didn’t score as high as last time… scary stuff</p>

<p>What??? I don’t believe you…</p>
<p>that’s way too high of a gain unless you cheated.</p>
<p>I went from a 25 (sophomore year) in April 2008, to a 32 on the April 2009 Test.</p>
<p>I got a 4 point increase… Hopefully I don’t get challenged O.O</p>
<p>but just to claify: I definitely did NOT cheat… I would never sink to that level.</p>
<p>i got an 8 point increase from december to april: 24-32… no one has challenged me yet lol. i feel like they would have to have some real reason or suspicion to challenge.</p>
<p>i scored a 29 from a 27…kinda upsetting…but i still wanna go for a 34…but i still have time</p>
<p>how did you guys do on the state test vs. the national test?</p>
