<p>I've been using the practice tests from The Real ACT Prep Guide and my scores have been significantly higher (3 point increases) than my previous ACT scores. Granted, I was extremely distracted, and at a completely new school (plus preparing for a move the first time I took it) so maybe that's why I did bad. And I'm kind of in test mode after AP and the SATs. At the same time I don't want to get my hopes up. </p>
<p>So, what do you guys think, is the ACT easier or harder than the guide book that they give?</p>
<p>srry this is off topic but i am new to this website and i dont know how to make a post please help</p>
<p>A new thread you mean? There’s a button on the top left corner that says “New Thread”</p>
<p>I assume you know how to post as you just did it.</p>
<p>Okay anyone?</p>
<p>I have always done better on the actual test as opposed to the practice tests. Especially the Sparknotes online ones, which I did HORRIBLY on.</p>
<p>When did you last take it? If you’ve gone a whole school year or even a semester, you’ll probably improve. All the extra test taking will help you out too.</p>
<p>I took it in March, only a couple months after transferring, b/c it’s required for everyone in the state. I’m not sure whether I should trust these scores, but maybe I’m just being a pessimist… :)</p>
