<p>Also, while on this topic.

R: 24 —> 29
S: 26 —> 28</p>

I like to know what is the highest increase. 
Also, the thread would not gain 83 replies if no one cared.</p>
<p>16 in 7th grade to a 31 sophomore year…lol</p>
<p>I don’t know if this counts but sophomore year I took the PLAN(didn’t know much about the format/content) and ended up with a 20 composite. This reflected what I was getting on my SAT so I was really worried and began to prep. After going to one of Princeton Review’s national test days for SAT and ACT, I realized ACT was the test and began to concentrate on that. Junior year started off with me getting a 30 then a 31 and now a 33 composite.</p>
<p>I know someone whose reading score went from a 19 to a 31 from one year to the next.</p>
<p>i’m curious if you guys just naturally increased or actualyl put in A LOT OF PREP for the raise in score?</p>
<p>i got a 29 on my april ACT (this is my junior year) and i’m taking it in september (senior year) and i’m wondering how much i can realistically improve? thanks.</p>
<p>28 mid-December –> 31 early March</p>
<p>(aiming for 34 - 35 mid-June)</p>
<p>I naturally jumped 4 points.</p>
<p>With studying, I jumped from a 28 to a 34. It’s doable, but you have to study a ton, and that doesn’t just mean taking practice tests. You have to really break down the types of questions you get wrong and work out strategies that will help you get those questions right. In the four weeks leading up to the test, I probably took about five total practice tests (four of which I did, completing each section separately). Overall, to anyone who thinks they’re screwed, first of all you’re not, but remember that huge improvement only comes with lots of work. If you really want your ACT score to go up, you have to put in tons of time each week, and it can be a little here and a little there. The preparation has to be consistently spread out. You can improve your score, and it’s up to you to do what’s necessary to make those improvements.</p>
