<p>I got my scores today in the mail. I scored a composite of 23. 24 E 26 R 22 S and a frustrating 19 in Math. I am a junior in High school. I plan on going to CU Boulder and I want to retake the ACT in early fall next year. I will start preparing now. Any advice or books I should look into?</p>
<p>lucky. I still haven’t received mine.</p>
<p>You should definitely get The Real ACT book. It helps alot imo. Others commonly use Princeton as well. You should definitely review your math in depth since the Real ACT one doesn’t review much for it.</p>
<p>Take timed practices and check your answers each time</p>
<p>I would also recommend the Real ACT Prep book. I went from a 25 in february to a 29 this last april. All I did was work on a section every night. Don’t fret, just do a little studding and you will improve. Good Luck!</p>
<p>Thank you for the insight. And wow cppking, a 5 point increase in two months in incredible. I wish to score in the high 20’s next fall.</p>
<p>Is this score from the state act or the national act, denvercitizen?</p>
<p>State ACT. I will buy the Red Book in July when I come back from Vacation and then hit the books. I used the Barrons before</p>
<p>For science, read the questions first, because almost all the information in the passage is useless and used as a distracter.</p>
<p>Thank you for the advice Nikkkkki. I will definitely start to do this.</p>
<p>thanks for ur reply. can you tell me the curves for the state one? Like did you get a 18, 17, 16 or whatever in each section? thanks</p>
<p>Just do as many practice tests as possible in the summer and go through the answers and explanations. I would say having one book is just not enough if you want to have a big boost in score.</p>
<p>billcsho thanks for the advice. I dont understand Fire Lion.</p>
<p>Luckily for you, math is one of the easiest subjects (besides English) to raise, at least in my opinion. Get the Real ACT Prep book and the Princeton Review book, and just read all of the math section and work examples as you read through the book. Once you’ve done that, take a practice test to see the areas you’re still struggling with, then go back and review your low areas. Just keep repeating this until you achieve a score you happy with. I did this and went from a 27 to a 35, and my friend did this and went from a 21 to a 31. I took a while, but it worked.</p>
<p>Thank you for the great advice Cbatarseh. I will definetly do this.</p>
<p>No problem! Good luck!!</p>
