Can l improve?

Test Preparation
1

<p>To be honest. I'm horrible when it comes to Standardized testing, l recently took that ACT Dec.14 for the first time and my scores were horrendous.</p>

<p>English- 13
Math - 17
Reading - 16
Science - 15 </p>

<p>Com- 15 :( </p>

<p>I'm a A's and B's student with a 3.0 GPA. I'm currently a Senior and would like to apply to FAU (Florida Atlantic University). I've registered for the next ACT which is a MONTH from now and l was wounder if l study hard would my score go up 5 to 6 points?. My goal is to get least a 20+ is it possible? Is there any tips/ guides that will help me?</p>

<p>My mom hired a tutor for me starting tomorrow for the rest of the month.</p>

<p>Anything is possible and it can’t hurt to try. I recommend taking practice tests to get familiar with the format of the ACT. </p>

<p>The Real ACT (found here: [The</a> Real ACT, 3rd Edition (Real ACT Prep Guide): Inc. ACT: 9780768934328: Amazon.com: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Real-ACT-3rd-Prep-Guide/dp/076893432X]The”>http://www.amazon.com/Real-ACT-3rd-Prep-Guide/dp/076893432X)) was highly rated by other CC members. The book has practice problems and answers. Good luck!</p>
