<p>Well guys, June scores are finally starting to trickle in. What are some of the biggest jumps in scores from previous ACTs to the June test?</p>
<p>I went from a 20 in math to a 32 in math after a year in Honors Pre-Calc and 3 math practice tests the day before the test.</p>
<p>Went from a 27 to a 32 in reading</p>
<p>i posted this in the other thread but ... this should give people hope lol </p>
<p>c: 33 (+7) </p>
<p>math: 36 (+5)
English: 32 (+7)
Reading: 34 (+10)
Science: 28 (+5)</p>
<p>AKittka, what did you do for Science specifically(you had the same that I used to have)? I definitely ran out of time, but is managing time the main thing that you need to work on when taking practice tests?</p>
<p>I went from 24 to a 32 in Reading after trying out a new strategy.</p>
<p>^ yeah definitely. and i would suggest going straight to the questions for science and finding the answers in the information. i was hoping for a better science score, but for some reason i wasted too much time (time management again) on other passages and had to guess on the last 5 questions. take practice tests under timed conditions as well. i'm sure you can definitely raise your score.</p>
<p>I had a decent jump, but nothing compared to AKittka</p>
<p>composite: 33!!! (went up from a 31 ^_^)
english: 34 (+5!)
math: 33 (+1)
reading: 35 (+3!)
science: 30 (+1)</p>
<p>English: 35 (+2)
Math: 29 (-2)
Reading: 30 (+5)
Science: 35 (+9)
Composite: 32 (+3)</p>
<p>One day I just took a practice science test and for once I finished it with extra time. No new strategy... not really sure what happened.</p>
<p>No jump for me, 1st time</p>
<p>English:31
Math:32
Reading:31
Science:23</p>
<p>Composite:29
The 1st 3 scores went above my expectations so it's a jump for me; just one more point on any section and I would have broken the 30 barrier.</p>
<p>I went from a 24 math to a 32 math.. 30 to 32 composite. 30 to 34 reading.. hmm that's it. my English stayed the same, and my science went down.</p>
<p>C: 28 (+2)</p>
<p>E: 29 (+6)
M: 31 (0)
R: 25 (+3)
S: 26 (0)</p>
<p>From April to June. Don't know why my English score went up so much, I didn't really do anything.</p>
<p>I took in April for my first time, retook it in June.</p>
<p>C33 (+2)
E35 (+3)
M33 (+1)
R34 (+3)
S28 (-2)</p>
<p>Blasted Science section.</p>
<p>Guys what should I do for English and reading
I did bad on those
especially aktikka you had an amazing jump!</p>
<p>^If you are familiar with the SAT Writing portion, then ACT English is just as easy. Read up on some rules in Princeton Review, but honestly what helped me was paying a lot of attention in 9th-10th grade English class, and the ACT is all about your success in your curriculum. </p>
<p>For Reading, I got a 31(and I got a 560 on the January SAT Critical Reading). I did something different though from the January SAT and read the whole passage first, and after 1 or 2 paragraphs, look around through the questions to find questions that relate to the 2 paragraphs you just read since they're so fresh in your mind. Other than that, just try to get more from what you read(comprehension+speed) by practicing passages.</p>
<p>i got a 34 in english so maybe i can help you?!?! its my first time too.while some people find it helpful to do the corresponding questions as they read the passage, i first read the passage and then answer the questions that go with it. This is because it gives u a better overall sense of the meaning of the passage as well as the structure and rhetorics and helped me do better on rhetorical questions. For the punctuation/grammar questions, u just have to be familiar with some grammar rules. also, the act likes to trick u with long, overlywordy choices so if u see those as choices, pick the most concise one. it all comes down to practice really if u wanna improve and learning some grammar rules. sry i cant help u in reading, but ima get a better reading score next time (time management issues on June ACT lol).</p>
<p>Science: 25 to a 34 (+9 woot!). No prep or studying =]. From March to June.</p>
<p>Rest:
Comp 33 (+4)
Eng 29 (+1) =[
Math 34 (+1)
Reading 33 (same)</p>
<p>Comp: 31(+1)
Eng: 33(+3)
Math: 36(+2)
Reading: 22(-7) ;_;
Science 31(+4)</p>
<p>I'm so mad about reading; if my score had stayed the same, I would've gotten a 33.</p>
<p>At least I have a 33 superscored</p>
<p>This was my third time taking it.
First time I had no prep at all, the second time i had a little prep, this time I had a lot more but still not very much. I think what helped the most was just being comfortable with the test.</p>
<p>Comp: 34!! (+5 from second time)
Eng: 34 (+7)
Math: 33 (+1)
Reading: 32 (+2)
Science: 35 (+7)</p>
<p>I probably wont retake unless I did poorly on the writing section. I can't believe it, if I had one more question wrong, it would have dropped my score to a 33...</p>
<p>AKittka, how the HECK did you go up by 7?!?! I got a 28 on this one, i just want a 30 but i'm not sure how to go about doing this the right way. it's making me kinda sad :(</p>
<p>i went from a 0 to a 36 (+36!)</p>
