<p>^ lol How did that happen? What practice test did you take? Also, what did you do different between the test?</p>
<p>Basically, people put in less effort on practice tests, explaining his discrepancy.</p>
<p>19 my Freshman year
31 my Junior year. </p>
<p>I was a new immigrant with little or no knowledge of English my Freshman year, so that might explain the 12 point jump in a two year time span. </p>
<p>Now hoping to get a 33+ in April.</p>
<p>science is pretty hard to improve on</p>
<p>If you’re talking specific sections, I jumped from a 31 in Science to a 36 from February 12 to March 1. No extra prep. I think I got luckier.</p>
<p>Overall score jumped from 33 to 35 during the same period.</p>
<p>2010 (Soph) -----> 2011 (Jun)
No prep done before either test</p>
<p>English: 33 —> 36
Math: 30 —> 34
Reading: 30 —> 31
Science: 28 —> 30
Composite: 30 —> 33</p>
<p>I account my major improvement (without any prep) to taking the hardest classes possible, as well as just becoming older and more intelligent…</p>
<p>Lol. My best-friend got a 26 on his practice ACT, and a 32 on the March michigan require one. It’s pretty boss!</p>
<p>He probably joke around on the first or simply does better under pressure.</p>
<p>He said he tried his hardest on the practice. He probably is better at pressure, you’re right.</p>
<p>Looking to go from 27 (December) to Mid 30’s on the June test. I believe you can naturally raise these up if you’re focused. I went in cold and got:
29 E
30 R
26 M
24 S
The Reading was really straightforward and I know what I missed. The English, I was expecting like a 35, and I know I can do it. Math, now that I’ve learned most of pre-calculus, I can do the entire test and probably get a 30. As for science, I don’t really know. Last time I thought I was going too slow, and finished early. I’m not sure about how to properly pace myself…</p>
<p>i am not really sure how i did this, especially because for the second time i took the ACT the only prep i did was taking a couple practice tests like three days before the test LOL. i also was not even in precal/trig during my junior year and basically knew none of the trig, so i must have gotten extremely lucky with guessing on the math section</p>
<p>summer of sophomore year (1st try)
composite: 27
E: 32
M: 26
R: 27
S: 23</p>
<p>one year later, summer of junior year (2nd and last try)
composite 32
E: 33
M: 35
R: 32
S: 27</p>
<p>could have scored a 33 if it werent for that damn science section</p>
<p>anyone else?</p>
<p>31- junior year
34- junior year
36- senior year</p>
<p>that science section definitely took some getting used to…</p>
<p>anyone else?</p>
<p>Freshman Year:
E: 31
M: 30
R: 31
S: 29
C: 30</p>
<p>Sophomore:
E: 35
M:35
R: 33
S: 32
C : 34</p>
<p>I jumped from a 24 to 28 between september and December.</p>
<p>^ What did you do to prepare or did you just wing it?</p>
<p>English: 29 –> 34
Math: 23 –> 32
Reading: 27 –> 33
Science: 21 –> 27
Composite: 25 –>32</p>
<p>For math, I studied a lot using the internet. For science I took some practice tests. Didn’t really do that much for english, I think I just got the shaft my first time. And for reading, I pushed myself to read faster and learned to calm the f*** down while taking it. </p>
<p>I think most importantly I just learned to change my whole attitude toward the test. Instead of being intimidated, I approached it with respectable confidence. Calm, cool, and collected :)</p>
<p>^ this is the way to do it</p>
<p>deposition- thank for the reply</p>
