<p>I'm a rising junior and I just finished taking a practice test. My state requires all juniors to take the provided ACT in March, but I want to know if I should also take the ACT in the fall.</p>
<p>On the practice I got:
C: 31
E: 35
M: 31
R: 26
S: 32</p>
<p>Would it be very beneficial for me to take the test one time early to get a feel for it? Or should I just study on my own until March? I'm aiming for a 33+.</p>
<p>Yes!
Very beneficial. Everyone I know (myself included) has improved their score the second time they take it. You’ll be used to the format, and you’ll know what to expect. Even if you take a timed practice test, nothing could quite compare to the real test day. Being familiar with how it feels will boost your score and confidence.
Do it, it’s worth it.</p>
<p>Okay, thanks. 
I’m leaning toward registering for the September date.</p>
<p>Anyone else?</p>
<p>Bump…</p>
