<p>i want to boost up my CR and writing score. is taking practice tests the best way?</p>
<p>Practice makes Perfect</p>
<p>Absolutely. Practice at first to get the answers right (and read explanations for answers you get wrong). Then do it under a timer. Eventually your scores will improve!</p>
<p>yeah, i improved my points 100 or so by doing practice tests</p>
<p>and especially in reading , do all the reading in every test material you can find, it helps a lot</p>
<p>Schitz, you're absolutely right.</p>
<p>Practice tests are probably the single best thing you can do to improve your score. My older son went from 1420 to 1600 in 2 months with practice tests and younger son went from 29 to 34 ACT in 4 months the same way. Neither of them took SAT or ACT prep courses. The key is to take the tests a section at a time, making sure to read the answer key to see why wrong answers are wrong and right answers are right. </p>
<p>It's a grind and it's no fun, but it works.</p>
<p>I went from 1970 to 1990! (my 1330/1600 stayed exactly the same)
it seems like it should help, it just didn't for me. if nothing else though it gives you a better feel for the format.</p>
