<p>Alright, I have gotten really busy lately and I just noticed ACT is this week. </p>
<p>I need atleast a 30 on my test.</p>
<p>My 1st test was a 25.</p>
<p>I got 23- English
30-Reading
26-Math
Science 20
24-English/Writing</p>
<p>My dilemma is I have one week left. I have the Princeton cram book, the ACT Red book, Princeton review book, and I believe the Kaplan ACT Math book.</p>
<p>What do you reconmend I do? Will I be able to raise it to a 30 if I do some serious studying this week? (I'm talking like 4 hours a night dedicated to studying)</p>
<p>The easiest score for you to raise will probably be English. Spend a lot of your study time reviewing the grammar rules in the Princeton Review Book- if you master the concepts, you should be able to get every question in the English section except for maybe the analytical ones (order to arrange paragraphs, questions about the passage as a whole, etc.)- so you should be able to bring that up to the lower thirties. Also review the math section of the PR book in depth, and depending on what math classes you have taken since your 25, you should be able to raise your math score up a little. Last, your science- this part seems to require different strategies for different people. A lot of people will tell you to just go straight to the questions without reading any of the passages and just try to “figure out” the answers based on the supplied charts and graphs; this doesn’t work for me though. I end up spending more time trying to discern graphs that I don’t know the meaning behind- so I read the passages quickly in order to get a feel for what the experiments are supposed to be doing, and then I tackle the questions. That approach got me a 33 science, but, like I said, different things work for different people.</p>
<p>You can raise your score to a 30. Just study up on your grammar rules and your math, and try taking practice tests so that you can become more comfortable with the time restraints.</p>
