***February 2016 ACT Discussion Thread***

Hey can anyone help me on what to get to prep for it I take it in February to

■■■■■■■■.com has a bunch of Tests to check out.

Still not sure if I want to register for this or the next. Or both.

@Ngzk07 Are you a senior? I’m a senior retaking the February ACT I heard unofficially that most school will accept it if it gets in before the end of the month of February.

@DAVE437 Yeah I’m a senior. I’m retaking the February ACT for Yale.

@Ngzk07 yeah I’m retaking it for Notre Dame; I just don’t think a 30C is good enough. And do you think it’s bad if you don’t send AP Scores to colleges during the admission round like for example I got aa 5 in my A.P.U.S. History, but I can’t afford to send it its too expensive

@DAVE437 I don’t think it’s bad to not send your AP scores. They shouldn’t need physical proof for your score, and it’s a waste of money to do it now. Send them after you committed to a school.

Lol improve 33s and 34s. I am just trying to get a 32 or 33.

yo guys, what’s the best way to do well in reading? I’m just time-crunched, and in my practice tests, I found that if I rush the reading too much, I can’t answer questions well, but if I read more slowly and understand, I don’t have enough time to answer all the questions. What’s the perfect balance, and how do you get to it? I’m honestly dumbfounded at the moment - any advice would be great :smiley:

try to read (not skim) the passage within 3 minutes and use the remaining time for the questions. Your goal should be to answer all the questions within 9 minutes(per passage).

Been taking the sections and reviewing every day now…

What’s your target score

@DAVE437 30 composite, you?

I have a 30 right now mine target score 34+

Does anyone here have a link or anything to the released december 2015 ACT. If you do, can you please post it. thank you!

Here is the December 2014 one if that helps

How did you guys prepare for the writing section? Tbh I think I might end up going in that section cold turkey.

@Ngzk07 I didn’t prepare for writing, and I got a 36 on it

I used this book…
