score improvement without studying?

<p>If one were to have a 33+ score would there be a chance of improvement without much studying?</p>

<p>I improved from a 32 to a 34 with minimal studying. I think from 33+ it's mostly just luck. Depends on if you get a test that has the material that you know really well. At this stage even a question could mess things up.</p>

<p>once you get into the 33+ realm, improving without studying has to take some luck.... if you do study, it is still hard to increase your score significantly, but there is more of a possibility for you to increase your score, nonetheless (when i studied my butt off between two ACTs, my score jumped from 31 to 34... when i studied my butt off even more for my last ACT, i made a 35.... so the effects of studying there did significantly drop since i crossed that 33+ threshold)</p>

<p>Actually, I think studying can help at that range. The first 30 points are really easy to get. For most sections getting 30 questions is just a no brainer for the more advanced students. After that is when studying kicks in. The harder questions actually require knowledge instead of just finding info from the text.</p>

<p>Studying is the difference between knowing the information really well and not. Its not like the SAT where one vocab will screw you over. There is no question like that on the ACT. If you can score a 36 once, you should be able to score 35+ consistently.</p>

<p>And make sure to go extra slow on the math and english sections. You should have plenty of time left if you go at a normal pace, but that would risk mistakes. I got a 34.25 on the practice test I took because of 3 stupid mistakes on math and 2 on science. On the real test I got a 36 though because I slowed down.</p>

<p>^^ nice job, 36, congrats</p>

<p>k thanks for the comments guys.</p>

<p>Moving from 31 to 33 with little studying possible?</p>

<p>or 33 to a 34? Any advice on what I should do in the next 12 days?</p>

<p>Studying can't hurt surely.</p>
