Is this grade increase possible?

<p>I have taken the ACT's three times so far, and have scored 24, 24 and 25 respectively. I have been studying like crazy lately and I wanted to know if a 3-4 point increase is possible.</p>

<p>Last test:
E: 26
M: 27
R: 24
S: 24
C: 25</p>

<p>Hoping for this test:
E: 29
M: 31
R: 26
S: 28
C: 29</p>

<p>Which sections do you think is easier to improve upon, the onces I am better at, or the ones I am worse at? I think Math and Science are easiest to improve. I just need to pace myself faster.</p>

<p>Anything is possible with determination to get a satisfying score. I think you can improve the science section from what I've read on here without much actual studying, probably more of just getting timing down. And I doubt math would be hard to bring up a couple points, since it looks like you're good in math already. And your english and reading improvements that you want aren't that significant either, so I doubt their too unrealistic.</p>

<p>Im just praying, I want a 27+. I averaged a 27 on the first two tests but the 3rd one, the science was just soo hard.</p>

<p>It's completely possible.</p>

<p>I've taken the ACT officially twice now without practice each time. </p>

<p>First time:
E: 30
M: 26
R: 23
S: 19
C: 25
Second time:
E: 30
M: 26
R: 28
S: 23
C: 27</p>

<p>I've done 3 practice tests this week since Sunday and I'm getting scores around these:
E: 30
M: 28-30
R: 31
S: 27-28
C: 29-30</p>

<p>Once you get the timing down it's much less stressful. I've gotten it so that whenever I finish each section I have around 5 minutes to spend on just checking answers or going back to questions I was unsure on. Just by looking at what I improved on, I would say that the ones that you aren't so good at are the easiest to improve. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>I believe the English ACT is by far the easiest to raise scores in -- you're being tested on the cold hard rules of grammar. And ACT English grammar/punctuation tends to be far more straightforward than SAT writing stuff. Buy a review book and study the types of errors that the English section tries to trip you up with. I think that with decent studying, any native English speaker should be able to get 32+ in English.</p>

<p>September/October (goal)
M: 33 --> 34
S: 27 ---> 29
R: 28 -->30
E: 28 -->30
W: 8 -->10</p>

<p>C: 29 --> 31</p>
