<p>I'm about to take my first ACT (besides 7th grade) and I studied a good bit for it (about a month). I'm reasonably expecting anywhere from a 26-29. So I was wondering how much an ACT score will typically go up by the end of my senior year? (I'm currently between my Soph. and Junior years)</p>
<p>It wasn’t really extreme prep tho, mainly a few practice tests.</p>
<p>Well you probably don’t have all of the math skills so I would expect a few points gained there. Also as you get older you should become a faster reader and have more exposure to the test. I would say at least 3-4 depending on how hard you study.</p>
<p>When you’re taking the ACT, don’t stress to make a big leap of 4 points. Focus on improving 1-2 points higher than your previous score. You have plenty of time before your senior year ends to improve. So take it step by step and just try to improve a point every time.</p>
