<p>just took the ACT for the first time in June and I scored a twenty-two(22). I am so disappointed because I actually did study and my parents hired a tutor. I studied using Barron's, the real ACT guide, and Princeton Review. I even studied a day before the test. I constantly scored a 25-26 on the practice tests, yet I did horrible on real exam. I guess anxiety took over my ability to perform well on the test. Also, I did not have a timer and I found myself running out of time on some sections. How should I study over the summer to improve my score and what books other than I mentioned should I buy to study? I have a good gpa(3.8 unweighted as a junior) and I don't want my ACT scores to weight me down from getting into a good college.</p>

<p>Were there specific subjects on the ACT that you struggled on?</p>
<p>I am disappointed with a 33, but I kind of feel like an a*s for thinking that.</p>
<p>I dont understand what these people complaining of a 33+ its enough to get u into all Ivy league. If u dont get in dont think its because of ur score, i know a kid that got a perfect 36 and 2500 SAT and didnt get into the any Ivy</p>

<p>My lowest score was reading. I didn’t even get to read all the passages. Furthermore, I only got to read the first passage and answer the questions. On science, however, I managed to do better than reading. I scored in low 20’s in the science section. I also ran out of time on the science. </p>
<p>I had the highest scores in Math and Reading.</p>
