<p>I am intelligent but when it comes to sat/act....uggh. I don't know why I do so bad.
So I am setting a goal for myself.
I got a .....measly 23 composite on the feb act.</p>
<p>breakdown:
composite: 23
eng: 25
reading: 23
math/science: 22
essay: 10</p>
<p>i know, its dispicable.</p>
<p>goal for april act:
composite goal: 30
eng: 33
reading: 31
math: 27
science: 30</p>
<p>....okay i know its a big jump but hopefully i will come close. I don't know if I'm being really unrealistic though. Math is my HUGE weak point. I will obviously not limit myself to my goal and I will aim as high as I can, even if its above my goal but this is where I really want my score to be close to after the april act. I am busting my ass studying.</p>
<p>Speaking of it, any advice for studying also? I did the red book tests and went over the ones I got wrong...and I'm doing the barrons act math review. I also took many tests from kaplan and went over the wrong answers.</p>
<p>Please help! Thanks guys, a ton!! :)</p>
<p>30 English
27 Reading
26 Math
27 Science
Composite:28, I think that is more realistic. Just cause you did good on English doesnt mean you should compromise it, as you might still make dumb mistakes.</p>
<p>Don't worry
I took ACT three times
THe first two times i got a composite of 25
The third time, guess what i got? 30
and I'm going to take it again.
haha, aiming for a 33+</p>
<p>I think even a 28C is unrealistic on your next try. I would try to work on your two lowest scoring areas (since they are easier to improve on). I'm not sure how you see improving almost 8 points on every single section is realistic. With the April test coming so soon (I expect this is the one you are taking?) I don't think you have time to study and improve ~8 points in each section. Do the colleges you are looking at super score the ACT? Maybe you should try your luck on the SAT.<br>
Good luck!</p>
<p>Okay you guys, my goal is now 27/28. (I lowered it haha)<br>
Hopefully I'll make it!</p>
<p>depends the quality and quantity of ur study.........my frend increased from 23 to 31 sooo.....yeah definitiely possible.</p>
<p>thank you paki786...don't lower ur goal orange41! u better keep those expectations high and hope for the best!! the act is somewhat psychological</p>
<p>I sure hope it's possible to go up 5-7 points!</p>
