<p>I got a 24 on my ACT (everything 24) and was wondering...</p>
<p>After studying for a month, how many points do people usually go up in their composite score?? I took the April test with no practice and got 24 but now im looking to get in the 26-29 range with one month of practice...is this possible?</p>
<p>Usually I have seen increases of about 2-5 points over three months of prep.</p>
<p>Oh wait, 1 month? As long as you are prepping seriously, like 6-8 hours per week, then I would say the same advice applies.</p>
<p>I saw a 6 point increase after a year of not preparing...24 -> 30.</p>
<p>This may, however, not be true for most.</p>
<p>a year of not prepping? You mean you retook the test a year later?</p>
<p>6-8 hours of week is easy...thats an hour a day..i was thinking about hour 30 mins - 2 hours a day everday...to me, i dont need to study, just review and practice..i hope i can go up at least 5 points...</p>
<p>i'll be using the ACT for Dummies and the Real ACT's book to study....</p>
<p>The first time I took the test in February I got a 26 (29 English, 25 Math, 23 Reading, 25 Science). Afterwards I had to switch back to studying for the March SATs, so I only studied for about a month for the April ACT and got a 28 (32 English, 28 Math, 27 Reading, 26 Science).</p>
<p>A lot of times it just depends on the test (and the curve!). I increased my score by 3 points by doing nothing. Maybe I was just more relaxed and timed myself better? I don't know.</p>
<p>20 first time '05 (21 english, 25 math, 14 reading, 18 science)
35 last time '07(34 english, 35 math, 34 reading, 35 science)</p>
