<p>I currently stand at a 26 from Feb( 25E,30M,23R,26S). I went from a 24(26E,25M,22R,22S in Sep)</p>
<p>What's the highest point increase anyone here has witnessed? lol.</p>
<p>I'm aiming for a 28.</p>
<p>4 points is very doable..
i had a friend get a 21 and work really hard and get a 27</p>
<p>^^i actually stand at a 26 right now.=P</p>
<p>25-29 in a month.</p>
<p>Aiming for 32.</p>
<p>^^how much did u study to get to a 29?</p>
<p>work on english! if you have a good command of the language, it should be very easy to move up to scores in the 30's.</p>
<p>My friend went from a 17 to a 25 in a month or so.</p>
<p>i went from a 26 to a 30 in 12 hours of prep, 8 points in english alone, 26 to a 28 is extremely doable</p>
<p>Koreanboi-</p>
<p>I did practice tests. Most likely 3 total over a course of a month or so. very mild prep. I can say however just from prep i would have only went up 2 points. The other 2 came because i fell asleep on science the first time and got a 20. Everything else also went up though.</p>
<p>From</p>
<p>E- 24
M-25
R-29
S- 20</p>
<p>to</p>
<p>E-26
M-29
R-30
S-30</p>
<p>I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I didn't want to start a new thread: Anyways how hard is it to increase your ACT score compared to raising your SAT score? I took the plan test (in like November) with no prep and got 99% math (like 29?), 100% Reading (like 32?), however I struggled with English 80-85% (like 23?) and science 90%. Anyways, I know I'm going to take the SAT, but thought it might be worth it to try the ACT.</p>
<p>Went from a 29 to 34 with some preparation, (practice tests, and a few study sessions.)</p>
<p>33 first time, no prep (:</p>

<p>Its customary to read the title of the thread before you post.</p>
<p>was something about the word INCREASE hard to comprehend?</p>
<p>Last year:
English - 28
Math - 32
Reading - 26
Science - 24</p>
<p>This year:
English - 34
Math - 35
Reading - 34
Science - 26 <— This annoys me!</p>
<p>SilentAzn,WOW,that is a BIG improvement,I’m really envious too…how’d you manage to improve your eng and reading scores like that,</p>
<p>please tell me :)</p>
<p>I went up 31–>32 by just retaking it
but my essay stayed at an 8</p>
<p>thus this time I hope to study and then get a 33 and maybe a 12 on the essay (that would be WONDERFUL!)</p>
<p>26 to 33 </p>
<p>i barely knew anything about the test the first time. then i prepared the second time and did surprisingly well.</p>
<p>Went froma 26 –> 29 just by studying for a month or so. I knew little about the ACT the first time. I heard that the ACT is supposed to be easier than the SAT, but the SAT proved better for me in the longrun (2110).</p>
<p>AKittka!!! WOW that’s impressive,I got 27 on my first test (without any prep),how did you study for it? what’s your strategy (for each section except math,im pretty confident on that section)</p>
<p>haha I just became really familiar with the test, especially the timing. Timing is key. I read the reading passages efficiently. The questions were fairly straightforward so if you read carefully and efficiently I think you can do well. For Science I went right to the questions and looked for the answers in the data or whatever. I found that it takes too much time to read each passage and that I get bored and discouraged if I don’t understand the experiments. For English, I actually went on sparknotes and studied the tips they have for ACT English. For Math, I had taken the Math II SAT II a few weeks prior so I was over-prepared and got a 36 haha.</p>
