Barron's ACT

Test Preparation ACT Preparation

I just used a Barron’s ACT and scored a 32 with no prep
(31, 34, 34, 29 English,Math,Reading,Science)

I found Math and reading to be relatively easy compared to the SAT. English was alright, i suppose. But I found the science section to be extremely hard. It was really hard for me to make sense of all these graphs and text in such a short period of time. I ended up missing 10.

1)Is the Barron’s ACT harder than the real test? If so, by how much?

2)How likely is it for me to raise this 32 to a 35-36?

I’m a sophomore, by the way. I have taken honors chem/physics and currently taking AP Bio right now

I think it is very likely you can raise your scores to the 35 range.

The best way to prep is with REAL ACT tests. Time yourself and review what you do not know.

For Science, I think practice science tests in a timed setting will help you improve that section.

Congratulations on starting early and your great starting score.
