take a look at this. i think that in order to have a shot you need to raise your ACT score. hope this helps.</p>

<p>Honestly, I am not sure if my ACT score is going to be raised … My math and science scores are about 30-32 but it is my reading score that is hurting me. Maybe it is because of the reason that english is my second language, I don’t know! If I get to raise my score to 30, do you think I would have a better chance?</p>

<p>Definitely. The only way you can get better is by practicing. Set up a schedule for yourself. You can do it. Trust me.</p>
