<p>So I have taken ACT once, Prior to that SAT twice. I got 30 on ACT. Is it possible to get 32 without studying much? The reason I say this is, you are not going to forget what you have learned in one months time. Right? So if I just brush up here and there and keep in touch with the subjects, is it possible to get 32 without studying rigorously? </p>
<p>So you may ask there is a reason why I didn't get 32 the last time I took a test and if you are not going to get different results if you are not doing something different. This is a valid question. </p>
<p>I'm thinking sometimes it just depends upon the test and from the test to test scores can easily vary by 1-2 points even when there is not much difference on studying front. What do you guys think?</p>
<p>It’s possible, but it isn’t particularly likely in my opinion. There’s always going to be variance between tests, but you have to remember that that goes both ways; although you could get an easier test, it’s equally likely that you could get a harder test and get a worse score than you did on the first one. I don’t think that excessive studying is particularly necessary unless you have timing issues. That being said, I’d say that even though you are frequently practicing the subjects in school, you should take a few science practice tests if nothing else. Mainly because the sections don’t draw so much on scientific knowledge as an analytic form of critical reading, which you rarely practice under such time constraints. Also, science generally has the toughest curve, so missing one or two extra questions (especially when you’re in the 30’s) can have a pretty deleterious effect on your score. But growth is natural, and I wouldn’t be shocked if you got a 32 without studying much because the difference between a 30 and a 31.5 (the lowest 32) is only a few questions.</p>
<p>yeah but you are banking on an easy test date, not your own merit.</p>
