<p>Hi,
I'm taking the ACT on February 8, so that gives me just a little over a month to prepare more. Here are my average scores from practice tests:</p>
<p>So science is definitely my weak point. What do I do to increase my score dramatically for science in these next 4 weeks?
And how do I get those last few points for the other sections?
My goal is at least a 34 composite.</p>
<p>It would be great if you guys could list tricks and tips you've been using to increase you score!
Thanks!</p>
<p>how many practice tests have you taken, over what period of time? if you’ve taken enough, then i don’t think your actual game day score will be much different. what has been your highest score in each category? so what has been your highest composite score?</p>
<p>ok so for english just memorize the barron 36 section…it lists everything you need to know after that just do a few practice questions to get the hang of it and you should be good (i got a 34+)
math is a little harder to improve in a short time since you need to make sure you understand all the concepts and then do a lot of practice questions to understand how they word things and timing
reading- practice, practice, practice after a while you will just get the hang of how they want you to think about it
science- their is nothing you have ot know to be able to do it, their is only 1-2 prior knowledge questions on the science ACT, which makes improving your score even easier and doable in 1 month, just do practice sections (properly timed) do over 30 of these and you should be good make sure you look over your mistakes and understand them
since you need extra help in science let me tell you some tips, DONT READ THE INFORMATION (other than for the viewpoints one) go sraight to the questions and answer based on the graphs/tables/etc dont spend more than 4-5 min on any of these sections, do the viewpoints passage LAST and read it through and do it like a reading passsage (underlight, annotate, look back in the article, etc)</p>
