How much can I realistically improve from the PreACT to the ACT? In the beginning of sophomore year with no prep, I got a
28 composite, 28 math, 23 science, 26 english, and 34 on the reading. The science is really a hit-or-miss, and I have extended time, so time won’t be an issue. Should I shoot for a 33?
It is possible. My D got 28 or 29 in preACT and she ended up getting 35 in the real test in junior year after preparing for the test throughout the summer.
My oldest D got a 29 on her first practice ACT. Took it 3 times and got 31, 31, 32. Younger D also got a 29 on her first practice test. Also a 29 on first ACT. Improved to a 33 on her second ACT. She went from a 23 to 33 in science.
