@ZainSD This is going to be my 2nd time. I got a C30 on Sept, so I’m going for a higher score. I’m a junior

4

I’m taking it in December! I’m a junior, hoping to improve my math score mostly. My Sept score was a benchmark meaning I didn’t study. Got a C33.

5

I gave my first attempt in April. Last attempt this December.

6

Just need a 32.

7

Did you guys start studying yet? Is it bad that I didn’t? My life is such a mess rn

8

@namanoq Didn’t start studying for my first one in October until 2 weeks before and I think I did well - you’ll do fine.

9

@namanoq You have plenty of time to study. Do not worry.

10

Neither have I. Giving the SAT in November. If that doesn’t work, then the ACT(have already registered) :smiley:

11

going to try and up my score a little but the essay delay nightmare has me worried. Hope I can bump up 2 points.

12

I might take the December test…depends on my October scores.

13

Is Barron’s ACT 36 a good book to use? I currently have an ACT score of 30 and have used the red official prep book and PR’s 1460 Questions book up to this point. I just want to improve to at least a 32 (more would be nice hahah). Would you guys recommend the Barron’s prep book or should I look for other prep material?

14

How are you guys doing on practice tests as of now?

15

ill be retaking if i didn’t get a 30 on oct

16

I’m not sure if I’ll retest December. I don’t think we will get scores back in time. Is it possible to just register now and cancel the test if I change my mind?

17

Yes, you can cancel or delay your testing.

You do not get the money back though.

18

Do you guys know if I can change my test option to ACT+writing? Because I got a fee waiver, but that waiver only included the ACT no writing. If I can change to ACT+writing do I have to pay the full price?

19

Nevermind. I already changed it to ACT+ writing. I now know that the fee waiver also includes the ACT plus writing.

20

Yes, waiver includes writing
