Official ACT September 21st Thread

<p>Last time I took the ACT I did badly because it was last September before I took pre-cal. I haven’t really had time to study for this one but hopefully 30+?</p>

<p>Ah, good luck everybody! I got a 31 on my first go but I’m really aiming to bump it up to that oh-so sought after 32.</p>

<p>What is everybody studying these last few days? Are you guys looking at websites or books with English rules and math formulas or sticking more to practice tests?</p>

<p>@Matthew5: Well, I just took my last couple practice tests for English (33), Math (34), and Science (32), and they’re all pretty solid scores for my overall goal of a 32. </p>

<p>So I’m just going to do a Reading test daily until Saturday, because that’s my weakest area. If I can get it to at least a consistent ~28, I’ll be good. Other than that, I’m going to just review math formulas here and there and stuff.</p>

<p>Also, gotta get some pencils and calculator batteries! And finally, although it may sound cheesy, I got to bring my PMA - positive mental attitude. Seriously though, my tutor said it’s important and after some thought I agree with her. If you go in there with the mindset that you’re going to do amazing, you WILL do amazing.</p>

<p>get mint gum and chocolate, they both stimulate your mind</p>

<p>Any last math tips or formulas? i score around a 30-32</p>

<p>Thanks for reminding me guys, I definitely need to go to 7-11 and buy gum, 5-hour energy and some chips.</p>

<p>Im thinking about drinking coffee and doing a couple practice problems before the test.</p>

<p>I’m in freak out mode :o
I’m just so overwhelmed with everything else that’s going on now from AP classes to homework to studying for 4 tests tomorrow.
I’m praying for the best now. Whatever happens, happens.</p>

<p>I honesty had no time to study for this test. Ive only been studying for a week because my course load barely gives me time to breathe. Ill be taking a couple practice tests and hope for the best comes Saturday. Im planning to take a whole one Thursday and Friday. After that I will just pray lol.</p>

<p>Made some stupid mistakes in last practice test that cost me about two points a section. I’m panicking.</p>

<p>I’m not entirely sure how I feel. </p>

<p>I’m feeling good with math and reading. I get a solid 33-34 on math every time and a solid 32-33 on reading every time. My English score fluctuates from 29 to 35 and science goes from 29-33, so I’m nervous about those two. Hopefully I have time to practice those sections once or twice before Saturday!</p>

<p>I completely agree with you guys…I hate how my reading scores fluctuate. I got a 36 once and then a 26.</p>

<p>I just took two math practice tests. First I got a 27 on PR and 32 on the 2012-2013 act booklet they hand out.</p>

<p>Really don’t know what to expect…</p>

<p>I started from a 28(Princeton Review),but not im getting 32-34(Red Book). Hoping for a 35 this Saturday :P</p>

<p>It really depends on your mindset when taking practice tests. Just make sure you have a positive one when you take the real thing, and you probably will get your highest practice test score.</p>

<p>What grade are you in prakashpcs?</p>

<p>i’m entering freak out mode.
my english has been a solid 34-25
math about 28-30, but I’m a little worried I’ll freeze up or something
reading a consistent 32
but science might kill me. my range of scores in the red book is 22-30, so all I can do is hope it’s a decently easy test and that its geared towards my strength. I’m going for a 30 (though I only need a 28 so if i get above that my mom isn’t allowing me to take it again), so I’m hoping for e34, m29, r31, and hopefully a 26-27 in science.
good luck to everyone and let’s hope for a good test!!!</p>

<p>Anybody have good online Math/English resources to study from?</p>
