<p>Is it hard?</p>
<p>I need to get a 28 in order to get a 100% scholarship is it hard?</p>
<p>And i have 30 days to start studying any tips?</p>
<p>What is a 28 = in Sat score format?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance</p>
<p>28 should be around 1800-1900?</p>
<p>and to answer your question.... i dont know, the difficulty of the test depends on the taker..</p>
<p>xiggi method........or take a speedreading class.......I believe in you....</p>
<p>A 28 composite means you've scored higher than 90% of the rest of the nation's testers. This was my score on my first try but I would not have been able to make it without a little bit of prep.
Have you ever taken the ACT before, and is the Dec ACT your last chance? Either way, get a book with several practice tests. Take a whole practice test in one sitting and make sure to time yourself!! This way you'll become used to the format and know exactly how to pace yourself on test day (the main reason the ACT test is hard is because the timing limitations are so strict) I'd try to take one or two tests every week, and read up on the strategies as you go.
A good online practice test is <a href="http://www.number2.com%5B/url%5D">www.number2.com</a> and though it is not meant to be taken with time restrictions, it tells you any questions you got wrong and why you got them wrong. But remember...the most important thing to practice is your timing
Some practice books will have word flashcards and vocab lists...don't bother with that right now. It will not help nearly as much as it would on the SAT.</p>
<p>If you really want a good score, work really hard on Math and English. Those are the easiest to improve. Then work on timing for Reading and Science.</p>
<p>the conversion tables published by the collegeboard are somewhat dubious.</p>
<p>many colleges have their own conversion tables. if you look at some of the common data sets the score of 28-30 is the 50% range that corresponds to the 50% range of the SAT 1320-??.</p>
<p>I've read several articles that state there should be about a sixty point increase to the collegeboard's conversion. I'm not a statistics person so I can't remember why.</p>
<p>the ACT is a very time oriented test, lots of questions but straightforward. It really can't be prepped in the same way that the SAT can be prepped. Most adcoms are aware of this.</p>
<p>In the end, however, it isn't just about scores defining you. You have essays, recs, ecs, gpa, interviews and whatever other nonsense that can be thrown into the mix. Do you have what they need?</p>
<p>according to the University of California's conversion table, a 28 on the ACT is a 1920-1970 on the SAT.</p>
<p>I like the UC's conversion better. =)</p>
<p>yea..i like it 2</p>
<p>btw..wikipedia put UC conversion table for their ACT wiki</p>
<p>work on timing. and plan to make the english and reading your strong sections.</p>
<p>Just for the record, I messed around on number2.com a long time ago and, compared to the October 2006 ACT test, I feel the questions on it greatly misrepresent true ACT questions. </p>
<p>All IMO, of course.</p>
<p>number2 is horrible</p>
<p>I studied out of the Princeton Review ACT book a few weeks before I took my first ACT and I thought that the book really prepared me well for the test - I got a 30. The PR book tells you exactly what kind of problems will be in each section of the test and teaches you how to do each problem type, so if you're really serious about studying for the ACT, I think you can definitely get a 28+. </p>
<p>Be sure to take some timed practice tests before the test day so you can get a feel of how fast you need to work on the actual test!</p>
<p>Alright thanks because i just got the princeton review book</p>
<p>thx also..i just got it as well</p>
<p>Hopefully both of us will be able to score 30 or higher</p>
<p>yup .......</p>
<p>Why can't the ACT be like this:</p>
<p>English - 45 questions/75 minutes
Math - 60 questions/60 minutes
Reading - 35 questions/40 minutes</p>
<h1>Science - 35 questions/40 minutes</h1>
<p>175 questions/215 minutes</p>
<p>If it were like that, everyone would score really high</p>
<p>maybe... it's the 60 minute 60 question math that's a problem for me. English and Reading aren't a problem.</p>
<p>Getting a 28 shouldn't be all that hard. make sure you have two of the sections you're really good in. I had a 29 even with a 22 math.</p>
