<p>STUDYING LIKE CRAZY THE PAST 2 WEEKS. The first ACT i got a 29. My SAT is a 2020. So…</p>

<p>Prediction: 32!!
Goal: HOPE HOPE 32!
Will be satisfied with: 32!!!
Will be done with ACT no matter what. SO ITS A DO OR DIE SITUATION FOR ME.
Comment: Basically, i really need a 32. My problem is the time constraint ahhh!</p>

<p>^…are you my twin?</p>

<p>I’ll prob end up getting the same score as last time due to stupid f’n mistakes. It’s not like I don’t know the stuff either, it’s just…yeah.</p>

<p>I probably am your twin lol. and you live in a small town in NY, same here! Yep undiscovered twins.</p>

<p>Hahahaa suh-weet :D</p>

<p>I am so lazy i still haven’t picked up a book. Have no problem buying the books but haven’t studied. Oh well, I’ll start soon :)</p>

<p>Expected Grade: 34-36
Goal: 36
Satisfied with: 35 with a 2340+ SAT or a 36 (I might need my standardized scores to slightly compensate for my grades)</p>

<p>I’ve already taken this test once (34) so I guess I have done 1 practice test if you count that haha.</p>

<p>Expected Grade: 33-34
Goal: 35
Satisfied with: 34</p>

<p>Does anybody know where I can get some official ACT practice tests? I’ve already done the one on the ACT website.</p>

<p>Expected Grade: 33
Goal: 34
Satisfied with: 33
Current: 29</p>

<p>This is my last chance before my UK apps are due, as you can only send 1 app to the UCAS system and deadline for University of Oxford is mid-Oct.</p>

<p>Took SAT once. Was not satisfied. 2140.</p>

<p>Goal: 35 + 10 essay (36 is nice but I want to be more realistic)
Predict: 34 +
Biggest thing to work on: Timing issues
Worst Section: English (kind of ironic cause I only got 3 wrong on Jan SAT)
Best Section: Math
Will be satisfied: 34
Will be done with ACTs: 34.</p>

<p>Comments: I hope my timing with reading and science will be good. </p>

<p>Why do I want to do well?
My math teacher believes in me so much, but my super skeptical English teacher (who has absolutely no faith in me…look down of me as I was born and raised in Hong Kong and is ESL…and have a Hong Kongese+slight British accent) has said bad things, including that I won’t even get into ANY of the 5 colleges that I apply to UK. I want to do well on the September ACT, which is VERY important for UK admissions. If I get accepted into ANY of the 5 universities (I may do this if i get a 35), I will then go to my English teacher, put the acceptance letter on her table, and say “You did not believe in me…but I did it…Never lose faith in any of your students”. I want to inspire other students and ESL students and tell them that nothing is impossible…hard work and faith is everything.</p>

<p>It finally hit me that the test is in about 1 week, so I’ve been cramming all my practice tests into this week LOL
I got a 33 in June, but I think I can do better.
Prediction: 33-34
Goal: 35
Biggest thing to work on: working faster in the science and reading sections, the essay
Worst section: reading
Best: math
Will be satisfied with: 34
Will be done with ACTs: doesn’t matter. I can’t take it again…</p>

<p>First time taking the ACT, but I took the SAT twice and got a 800/630/800 and a 800/680/800 (math / critical reading / writing).</p>

<p>Expected: 35 (based on some practice tests)
Goal: 36
Done with: anything. I’m a senior and not taking it again after september.</p>

<p>Good luck to all, have a good week of preparation.</p>

<p>Good luck to you too. Preparation is the only thing I’ll be doing unfortunately lol. And way to rep the class of 2011. LAST SAT/ACT TEST EVERRR!</p>

<p>Prediction: 34/35
Goal: 35/36
Will be satisfied with: 35
Will be done with ACTs if I get a: 36
Best Section: English/Math/Reading, depends on the particular test.
Worst Section: Science.
Comment: I hope Science has a very generous curve and that English doesn’t have any of those one or two ambiguous questions that it almost always has.</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone. Less than a week left!</p>

<p>I got 28 last time with studying.
Prediction: 28-32
Goal: 30
Biggest thing to work on: Reading, reading, reading.
Worst section: reading
Best: English and Math
Will be satisfied with: 29+</p>

<p>GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH finishing the reading section is too hard
:(</p>

<p>satisfied with any score above 30</p>
