Raising My Score

<p>I'm a junior and I took the June ACT after completing my sophomore year and got a 30. My goal was a 32 at least but I'm pretty happy with the 30 because I wasn't expecting to do that well. The problem is that I didn't take it with writing because I didn't think I would come so close to my goal. So now I've signed up for the December test. My scores were E-35 M-25 R-34 S-25. I've taken practice tests and my reading and english scores are consistent with my actual scores. What I really need to know is how to raise the math and science scores. I'd be really grateful if anyone could suggest some tips or strategies. Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Both of those are practice. You might have a knowledge gap in math. The topics are really limited for Math. At your score, I would check out your questions, see if they fall in a common theme (i.e., knowledge gap). Rape that theme. Afterwards, practice.</p>

<p>Science is really about timing. They’re glorified graphs. Learn to read weird graphs fast.</p>

<p>Thanks. I’ve noticed in the math that I’m fine with the algebra but anything containing geometry trips me up. I think it’s because I hated geometry when I took the class so I forgot a lot of the concepts. I’m in Pre-Cal now so I’ve had to relearn some of the geometry. Do you think that will help? I bought the PR book for the ACT. I think the practice tests in there should help me get better at reading graphs.</p>
