Can't get pass a 21?

Test Preparation
1

Hi everyone, recently I took the Feb ACT and my composite was a 21. I did a practice test prior and my prediction was a 21, and when I was in 10th grade I did the plan and my prediction was 17, so I feel great that I surpass that expectation. My only problem is tat no matter what I do I can’t seem to get pass a 21. My sub scores was:

English 26
Math 15
Reading 23
Science 20

I know I can get higher but all the rules we lean seem to leave my mind and I know that the math is really bringing me down. I have to take it again in March since my school is making us take it but I plan to do it again in April, but do you have any tips or strategies or websites that helped you in anyway? I recently brought the ACT prep book for the actually site and will start using it but any help?

As well the score I’m aiming for my dream college is a 24.

What math classes have you taken? For the ACT, it is a good idea to have taken algebra 1/2 and geometry, and have familiarity with basic trig.

I’ve taken Algebra 1, Geometry, and Adv Alg with Trig

Hi! I’m a junior and I just took the February ACT. My advice would be to get the Real ACT Prep Guide by Peterson’s, and just keep doing sections out of that. Make sure you time yourself for each section, but you don’t have to sit down and take an entire practice test in one sitting. After you do a section, grade it and find out what you did wrong. Then analyze all of your mistakes. The prep book I suggested has explanations for every single answer, so make sure you analyze your mistakes. That’s what benefited me the most. The test is actually quite repetitive and it has a lot of questions that are similar, so if you crack the pattern to the test, you can get a really high score on the ACT! Good luck to you!

*"I can’t seem to get pass a 21. My sub scores was:

The correct usage would be "I can’t get past a 21, and

My subscores were …

If English is your first language and the rules seem to “leave your mind”, you need to start reading books…and a lot of them.

If English is not your primary language, you need to drill on rules and examples of their use.

Math & English are the two easiest sections to improve on. 40/60 questions on math section CAN be answered without calculator and minimal thought process. Practice
