<p>Was the Sept 09 without prep hot?</p>
<p>Sept 09 was with 2 weeks of moderate prep

<p>from 21 to 22 to 24 to 29</p>
<p>hotinpursuit…i got a 32 in september, looking for a 34+ in our required March test. I practiced a ton over the summer for the first test, so maybe i need coffee…what kind do you drink and how often…etc…</p>
<p>First time: 32
Second time: 31
…
…
Fourth and Fifth Time: 34
Sixth Time: TBD</p>
<p>I did nothing to be honest. I just went in and took the test. I guess maturity?</p>
<p>rofl mabs I got a 32 on my first try and a 31 in December…hopefully I follow your trend…lol</p>
<p>haha I had doubts after I got a 32 (on my third try)</p>
<p>but I thought</p>
<p>ehh w/e nothing to lose. I’ll give it another shot. I’m glad I made that decision :)</p>
<p>@JuBobo: How did you bring up your scores? And How long did it take you?</p>
<p>so you literally did no prep? </p>
<p>I’m taking a couple practice tests here and there, and i dont feel like i need to…did you do anything differently between your first 3 tests and the 4th and 5th?</p>
<p>nope</p>
<p>Well the summer went by but I doubt that did anything lol</p>
<p>I had already took all the practice tests (PR, Barrons, all the official tests I could get my hands on) before my first try. I did them again before the second try but I got lower somehow lol</p>
<p>But to put it in perspective.</p>
<p>The main thing killing my score the first 3 times was the science section (Well it still kills my score but not as much as it used to).</p>
<p>I got 26, 26, 27 in the Science section the first three time</p>
<p>The last two times I got 33 and 30 in the Science. I struggle with the time limits in the Science Section a LOT.</p>
<p>Ah, I see…</p>
<p>I did fine in Math and Science, but got 31s and 30s in Reading and English…so those are the main areas i’m working on for my next test</p>
<p>Practice practice. That is the answer.
My son got 27 (6 grade), 32 (7th), and 35 (8th).</p>
<p>35 in the 8th grade!</p>
<p>Wow. Im impressed.</p>
<p>Wow that is outstanding! But don’t ACT scores expire after 2 years?</p>
<p>no of course not</p>
<p>why would they expire??</p>

<p>I literally took coffee for the 2nd time in my life on the day of the ACT.
I experimented with it the 1st time about a week before the ACT, and then I tried it on the day of. Looks like it helped.</p>
<p>I improved 2 points from a 29 to a 31 composite. I didn’t actually do anything more. I just went to school and actually learned more.</p>
<p>@hot</p>
<p>what kind of coffee? i need to get that 35! lol</p>
