Desperate help needed!!!

Test Preparation ACT Preparation
1

<p>Okay guys...I need to raise my score by about 5 points by April like everybody else here.</p>

<p>June '08 = 25 (27E, 27M, 21S, 24R)
February '09 = 28 (32E, 28M, 23S, 29R)</p>

<p>April '09 = ? (aiming for 31-33)</p>

<p>In the June testing, I didn't prep too much and wasn't that familiar with ACT format. In February, with essentially no prep in between, I managed to naturally increase by 3 points. As you can see, I didn't manage to raise my science and math score. Now I am sick of these standardized tests (especially the SAT) and I want to finish off by March SAT or April ACT. </p>

<p>How should I prepare for April ACT considering the resources that I have:
- 2 remaining REAL ACT practice tests
- Barron's 2009 (untouched)
- A free ACT practice test in those booklets from school</p>

<p>I'm extremely busy too, but I know that I can score well in April if I have the time to study and stop being so lazy. I have March SAT coming up and 3 SAT Subject tests + 4 AP Exams in May. And a June SAT if March/April scores are disappointing.</p>

<hr>

<p>If anyone is in the same situation as me (going from upper 20's to 31-33) or has constructive tips for me, please help! I will be glad to reciprocate the favor! I am turning desperate for a higher science score.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>the free practice test was the best resource by far…

<p>i suggest you post a thread on CC called “desperate help needed!” without so many exclamation marks</p>

<p>does anyone who received 32+ on the ACT in the past share their studying habits?</p>
