<p>Is anyone else nervous about the ACTs next Saturday? It's going to be my 2nd time taking them but I am still scared...</p>
<p>I got a 29 last time and am hoping to bring that up to a 31-33.</p>
<p>What are you guys doing to prepare yourself?</p>
<p>Well, I just purchased a few books devoted towards it in addition to the one that I currently possess.</p>
<p>It’s a fact that buying act prep books increases your score. </p>
<p>Buy 1 book +2 points
Buy 3 books +3 points
Buy 9 books +4 points etc…</p>
<p>But honestly to improve your score, you should take a few practice tests and make sure to get a good nights rest beforehand.</p>
<p>I don’t think that you need to purchase nine books to increase your score that much.</p>
<p>Not really nervous (Im a veteran at this lol) but we’ll see how it goes.</p>
<p>This will solely be my first ACT test.</p>
<p>You’re right warts i actually think 7 act books = 4 points =P</p>
<p>How many ACT preparation books are there?</p>
<p>There are a lot. Check out Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Borders, etc.
I’m going to take a full practice test tomorrow as if it were the real thing (ie. waking up early in the morning, timed breaks, etc).</p>
<p>I’m not that nervous, surprisingly. I’ve been getting solid 31-33s on practice tests, even though my goal is 34+ I guess I can just use my SAT score if I don’t do good enough.</p>
<p>^You seem familiar. </p>
<p>The test is in solely one week!</p>
<p>My first ACT! I’m really really nervous.</p>
<p>Seventh ACT test lol</p>
<p>going for 35 :)</p>
<p>my first ACT test… don’t know what to expect honestly</p>
<p>4th test for me, only taking it because I have never taken the writing like I should have, but since I’m taking it, aiming for a 34(I have a 33)</p>
<p>first ACT.
aiming for 30+</p>
<p>you can take ACTs like 5 times and colleges won’t know right?</p>
<p>Oh my gosh…I totally forgot I had registered for this. Still reeling from the 2340 SAT I got last Thursday. Can anyone suggest any good books for the ACT? I have one, the Barron’s Passkey or something like that. Is that good?</p>
<p>lol i don’t think you should take ACTs if you’ve already gotten almost a perfect score on the SATs</p>
<p>Yeah, but I had already registered before I got my scores. I don’t think that ACT refunds registration cancellations and I don’t want to waste my money.</p>
