<p>I took the ACTs last year and I got a 20, that was my first time taking it. I am trying to shoot for a 30. I know a lot of people say its impossible to do such a big jump, but I was just wondering if it really is? I mean I don't know if it helps (some people say it doesn't) but I'm taking an SAT/ACT prep course and they give a lot of helpful strategies and rules to follow when doing the test. I know I'm probably being unrealistic but if anyone has any advice or tips on what I can do I would really appreciate it, its not like I'm not willing to do any hard work..</p>
<p>If you took it last year, then its definitely possible to achieve that big jump. It won’t be easy, but its possible.</p>
<p>The most important advice I can give you is this: PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!!</p>
<p>Go to your local bookstore and buy a study guide that has practice tests included. If you practice enough, you’ll become familiar with the types of questions that the test poses, and I promise you’ll do much better. Good luck!</p>
