<p>Let's get this going..</p>
<p>Share tips, stories, vent, etc.</p>
<p>I’m completely not ready for it, but I’m going to a 30+ (even though last time I only scored a 25)… haven’t even started studying yet.</p>
<p>I really have a 35 in mind (doesn’t everybody?)!</p>
<p>It’s all about the timing for me. I don’t find the questions too convoluted, unlike the SAT.</p>
<p>I’m practicing the red book. I don’t think I can do well next week. I give up on the reading section.</p>
<p>I started studying today. I guess we’ll find out how it goes…good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>I am hoping for a 34+(my last was 29). Circumstances have prevented me from following my intended study plan; so, this week is it. I was planning on taking 1-2 practice tests per day leading up to it Any tips? Is my goal even doable?</p>
<p>@Obstructions I’m starting tomorrow! Talk about procrastination.</p>
<p>@Mlover It’s happened before! I think it’s all about strategies and timing.</p>
<p>Does anyone happen to know a good source for practice tests?!</p>
<p>I have a LOT of trouble on the reading section. After studying i have been able to raise all my scores except reading.</p>
<p>english - 31
math -34
reading -24
science -28</p>
<p>what do i do? HELP</p>
<p>Best of luck to everyone! My goal is at least a 30</p>
<p>My wish is a 36 but, I know that is NOT happening…(I won’t even come close) I plan on studying this summer. I have done some prep but, not enough. I have been really busy with school and also since school got out. (Was gone all last week for Girls State and, starting a 2 week hospital program tomorrow). I wish EVREYONE the best of luck! I hope we all suprise ourselves!!! :)</p>
<p>24 first time in may with no prep and a 20 on the trading with a 27 in math, 23 in grammar and 25 in science. I’ve further been prepping been getting consistent 27-28 on grammar and 25-27 on reading and math will go up. My goal is a 30 but will be very pleased with a 28 or 27</p>
<p>I’m hoping to get a 30 this Saturday. I got a 28 both times I’ve taken the ACT. My weakness is English, I consistently get high 20s on practice tests, but I’ve gotten a 23 and 24 on the real ACT. My strategy is to get atleast a 34 on math to leave some buffer room for my inevitably low English score, then I hope to get anywhere from 27-31 on Science and Reading. </p>
<p>Unfortnately this week is finals week for my school, so I won’t have much time to study for the ACT this week. Man, it sucks that this ACT is scheduled right after my last day of school :/</p>
<p>I ****ing swear that the reading is impossible to improve on. My english has gone from 27 - 35. My math has gone from 32 - 36. My science has gone from 27 - 33. My reading… hasn’t cracked a 24. I read it as slowly as i can and STILL can’t comprehend what i just freaking read.</p>
<p>@Idontgiveashiz how the hell did you make those improvements?! Please share</p>
<p>Is the practice test online not an accurate representation of the test? I found it much easier than the SAT and only missed a few questions.</p>
<p>For the english just know all those little rules including it/it’s, whom/who, etc. Don’t waste so much time on those long rhetorical questions. On math u just gotta be fast at doing math. On science idk. I’ve taken the real thing 6 times in a row (wasting a total of $198) and that helped too ( since you encounter the same types of questions over and over again) but I wouldn’t recommend it lol. My scores went like this zigzaggy ladder</p>
<p>28-29-30-29-31-29—and one more time this saturday. IM HEATED FOR SATURDAY</p>
<p>How did you manage the timing on the science part?</p>
<p>Lol “my wish.” </p>

<p>to be honest, every single time I took the science section I had to guess on a few at the very end. I did them in order and sometimes i read, sometimes i didn’t. In the ones with 2 or 3 different experiments (not the conflicting viewpoints) i would at least skim the reading portion. For the ones with mostly graphs and tables, you probably won’t need to read at all. Surprisingly enough, I find the conflicting viewpoints the easiest even though every time i flip to that page i have a panic attack.</p>
<p>Whenever I take a practice, I have an entire passage to read when time is called…</p>
