<p>Umm...well I do have a friend who jumped from a 24 to a 31 in two sittings. However, I'm pretty sure it was because she came from a pretty shabby county highschool, but then transferred to the magnet school we currently attend.</p>

<p>Jumping from a 23 to a 30 sounds like a bit of a reach, but it's not impossible. The ACT tests students on how well they take tests, not actual knowledge, really. I mean, the answers are provided for you, so you don't have to scramble and scrape for a bunch of random facts acquired through high school.</p>

<p>I think if you practice and really familiarize yourself with the test, you'll be fine. Still, people usually don't deviate too much from their original score, I think.</p>

<p>That's a 28 point jump. You would have to improve by an average of 7 points in each section. It's not unheard of--I know a guy who went from a 22 to a 32. But it's very rare, unless you really weren't thinking straight the first time and get yourself together the second.</p>
