<p>OK. I am a freshman and I took the ACT cold on June 9. </p>
<p>Composite = 27
English = 31
Math = 29
Reading = 28
Science = 20 (whoa! bad!)</p>
<p>Considering the real deal is in two years, do you think I have a good shot at increasing my score to a 32 or higher? </p>
<p>Is there a typical increase for each year of high school?</p>
<p>If you are only a freshman then yeah... You can improve so much in 2 year, many people improve in 2 months. Why would you take them as a freshman? haha</p>
<p>Relax, seriously. You have plenty of time to bring your score up.</p>
<p>I got a 27 as a freshman and in June I just got a 34 as a junior. I think it is a safe bet to say that it will gradually increase, but who knows how high it will end up. No matter which way you look at it...you are at a great starting point and you have lots of time to go before it really counts.</p>
<p>Thanks! That was exactly what I was hoping to hear. I'd be happy if I could grow from a 27 to a 34!</p>
<p>I'll take it again at the end of my sophomore year. I wonder how much Algebra II and Chem will help my scores. I actually thought I could do all of the math problems on the test, but I ran out of time and had to guestimate on about 6-8 questions. I think I'll need some better time management for the math.</p>
<p>The science was foreign to me. I felt pretty clueless. Next time, I'll definitely do some practice problems to understand the graphing interpretation better.</p>
