**OFFICIAL DEC.10th ACT Pre-test Post**

<p>Alright, who is taking the exam next week? Care to share any words of wisdom?</p>

<p>I'm taking it...32-33 is my goal...I need to get my English and Math up from a 32/33, respectively to a 34-35 so I have leeway to score low 30's on Reading/Science since they are my weaknesses (STUPID TIME). </p>

<p>I wish you all luck and may your ACT score outweigh your SAT Score (or for my case at least :-P). I'm just going to review the practice test I took today, finish the Reading/Sci section of the test and review...and next week do 1 section per day and review all answers. GL</p>

<p>I might take it as a standby tester. I took a practice test today and got a 33, which is almost exactly equivalent to my SAT score. If I do take it, I'll be aiming for a 35.</p>

<p>My goal is 35 English, 36 Math, 36 Science, 31 Reading.</p>

<p>Btw, the ACT essay topics are SO much better than SAT topics.</p>

<p>theoneo...NICE SCIENCE...how did u finish the section in time? Do u go straight to the questions and refer back to the data?</p>

<p>Um... I didn't take it yet... That was my goal lol.</p>

<p>I got a 34 on the practice test though. I basically skimmed through the introductory stuff as fast as possible and then answered the questions according to which figure/diagram they asked about. Like answer everything about figure 1 first, then figure 2, then figures 1 and 2, then figure 3, then all the other combos. Oh, and if you see a really good answer, just mark it down on the spot. Don't bother making sure the other choices aren't right.</p>

<p>Thanks...I sometimes overanalyze answers and second guess them.</p>

<p>i'm taking it, never took it before.
i haven't taken a practice test or anything but i hope to get a 34 or better.</p>

<p>Hi, Yes, I am taking it this Saturday. Its my first time so I am not aware of how different it is from the SAT. Can someone here plz explain the format. How should i study for it, what kind of questions are in it.. ? thanks..</p>

<p>This ACT score will mean everything to me Saturday. It's my last chance to get my score up.</p>

<p>It will mean everything to me too because its my only hope of getting into my now reach RD schools since my SAT score blows. What prep are you doing Ivy?</p>

<p>Good luck to all of you this coming Saturday and can anyone tell me how often the ACT's are offered during the year? Thanks.</p>

<p>pari, I prepped for the last ACT for my alleged weaknesses and this is what happened.</p>

<p>In June I scored high in Reading and Science. Math and English didn't go so well.</p>

<p>In October I got high 30s in Math and English after prepping, because I figured that I didn't need any work with Reading in Science. Of course, my grade faltered and I'm back at square one.</p>

<p>So for this one. I guess I only have one week. I'm probably going to do a few practice tests.</p>

<p>Parik, everything on my APP is up to par if not better. My damn ACT/SAT scores are holding everything back.</p>

<p>Does anyone know how accurate the PR tests are?? I'm really scared about this test because this is my absolute last chance to get at least a 26-30 for University of Michigan to consider me. My math score ended up being the second highest, which is odd because my math score on the actual ACT's was the lowest. </p>

<p>Also, does anyone know the best way to fall asleep the night before the test? I couldn't sleep at all the night before the last test and I was extremely tired.</p>

<p>I'd like to know how to fall asleep as well besides "not thinking about it"...</p>

<p>IvyLeague what scores did you get? My weaknesses are Reading/Sci all because of time. I'm thinking about downing a redbull so I can move faster, but idk how smart this is. What strategy did you use for Reading? I can't finish in time...</p>

<p>Get <3 hours of sleep the night before the night before. It worked for me.</p>

<p>I might try that...didn't you feel sleepy in school?</p>

<p>u would probably, but act > school</p>

<p>Well I do that every night, and yes I'm always tired in school.</p>

<p>wow..what do you stay up all night doing>?</p>

<p>Do you guys read every word of ever reading passage? I ran of time today. I think I have to skim one of them.</p>
