How hard is it to raise your ACT composite 6-8 points?

<p>I currently have a composite score of 24. English is my highest score with a 28, then I have a 23 in math, a 24 in reading, and a 20 in science. Is there anyone on here who has raised their composite 6-8 points? If there is, some advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!</p>

<p>Well I raised mine 5! Haha. 21-26. I worked really hard on my lower sections. That’s my best advice. My Reading was my lowest on the 21 (A Horrific 18) and I raised it to a 27. Work really hard on them, do a few web searches on the best way to raise them. Read books, whatever. Take practice tests too</p>

<p>Thank you!!</p>

<p>My nephew started out at 24 and took the test eight times. He finally ended up with a 34. The reason for the slow rise is that he was having trouble finishing.</p>

<p>My son made a 24 in seventh grade and a 30 at the end of the eighth grade. So you can expect your scores to rise each year.</p>

<p>I probably had a 18 or 17 and I scored a 27 at June and I’m good for at least 31 now. I have studied for over 150 hours and I used Barron’s ACT 36, Cracking the ACT, The Real ACT, Princeton Review’s 1296 questions, and some additional practice exams. I have done almost all of the tests in The Real ACT and Cracking the ACT twice and I just discover strategies as I go. If you started with a 24 you can easily raise it to a 30 with less than a hundred hours of prep. Good luck!</p>
