<p>So you guys on here make me feel really stupid because I didn’t do great but I’ll be retaking the ACT and this was my first time.</p>
<p>What is the best book? How did you guys become so good getting 30 and above?</p>
<p>I really want something that will really boost my score.</p>
<p>Composite-34
Eng…33
Math…32
Rdg…36
Sci…33</p>
<p>Regardless if you got 18/18, you can’t miss ANY for perfect on the English section, same goes for math. Reading Idk about. But I do know science is brutal curve. </p>

<p>Becky I got a 31 on my first mock ACt try. To study I got Princeton review 1,296 questions book, because people said the questions were a lot harder than the real thing, so its good to challenge yourself. </p>

<p>So what is the difference between “Cracking the ACT” and the “1296 ACT”? Which one is better?</p>
<p>Cracking the ACT teaches you tips on taking the ACT and reviews what is on each section. 1296 ACT is all practice tests. I used both and from the first practice test to the last my score went up 7 points. Use Cracking the ACT first, then do the tests in the other book for practice.</p>
<p>Ok thanks :)</p>
<p>What other book are good for score booster? I really help on my reading section.</p>
<p>Just keep taking practice tests, you don’t need to learn how to take the test cause you already have thinking skills. </p>

<p>So I took the June ACT at the end of my sophomore year to gauge how much I would need to improve to reach my goal. I got a 30 composite, and I was pleased. However, I really would like to score a 34+. So, two questions: (1) Is that a feasible goal? I feel like I can definitely score in that range with taking multiple practice tests. How much did you all increase/decrease by? (2) Will colleges see this score if I don’t specifically send it to them? Also, can they see how many times you take it if you only send your highest score? Any insight helps! Thanks!</p>
<p>cbbird360, this goal is very attainable. You only need to get a couple more questions right in each section. It just takes some practice, mostly figuring out which questions you consistently get wrong. I scored a 29 in April and am hoping a higher score from my test in June (I tested as a standby).</p>
<p>Guys I cheated on my ACT and it went up 11 points, but I got my score back so am I in the clear</p>
<p>Trollololol</p>
<p>@evaahockey, how did you cheat? It’s like impossible to cheat. I guess unless if you were looking directly on someone’s answer sheet.</p>
<p>Hi everyone! I got only 23 on June ACT (that was my first time with one month prep), so is it possible to be accepted to university and then retake that while studying?</p>
<p>i got a 29 on the april one. somehow, i have no fricking idea how, but my score went up to a 35!! i just tought this june test was particularily easy.</p>
<p>I haven’t gotten my score back yet :(.</p>
<p>Composite 35
English 36
Math 35
Reading 36
Science 33
Essay 10</p>
<p>Really happy, first and last time taking it. Hopefully good enough for Dartmouth!</p>
<p>cbbird360 i took the plan test and got a 27. I did absolutely nothing to prepare from fall of sophomore year to this past june and got a 35. You’ll be fine, just being older helps immensely. But if it makes you feel better do a couple tests ;)</p>
<p>I first took the test in December and got a 28 (E: 24, M: 32, R: 29, S: 25, W: 12). In June, I got a 31 (E: 34, M: 30, R: 31, S: 29, W: 10). </p>
<p>My increase by 10 in English is most likely thanks to many practice tests and just a simple review of the types of rules they ask about.</p>
<p>Kgolfing, awesome site! I hope to be able to contribute</p>
