<p>Hey Guys,</p>

<p>I was wondering how good enough is a 27 ACT score for the first time around with not aid or anything? I heard with a 27+ it can land you some money from colleges? Is this true?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>27 is good for most schools, but it is very subpar for top schools. It might yield some merit aid at low-ranked colleges.</p>

<p>would it be crazy difficult to raise my score from a 27 to a 31? Is a 4+ point increase common?</p>

<p>It is very uncommon among the general population, but it is realistic for those who prepare effectively.</p>

<p>I think its very possible. On my first ACT i got a 27 (26.5) took the april (29) and june- 31 (31.25) Considering I hardly practiced for the april and june i think its very realistic</p>

<p>Very possible. I went from a 24 to 29.</p>

<p>S2 got a 23 in middle school, a 32 as a sophomore, and a 36 as a junior. You absolutely don’t have to take your first score as the best you will ever do.</p>

<p>With a good deal of prep or just some luck, you can definitely improve your score from a 27 to a 31</p>
