<p>Hey guys, I need to know if I should just give up with this whole ACT deal.
On my first ACT in April after little prep I got a 30 ( 33 reading, 30 english, 30 math, 28 science) and I then took the ACT again in June after 6-8 Full practice tests (real ones) and my scores were (35eng, 33read, 30math, 26science) for a composite of 31... However, I've started studying again for the September ACT since my goal score is a 33... However, I'm just slowly declining my score test after test... I've taken 3 and a half full tests and I'm more than disappointed. My scores for the tests go as follow:
Test 1: 31.75 32eng, 33math, 33read, 29sci
Test 2: 31.25 32eng, 29math, 32read, 32sci (I felt as if I was getting good at science)
Test 3: 30... 32eng, 31math, 31read, 26sci (ahh back to the usual)
Test 4: 30eng, 29math,</p>
<p>I'm just feeling like I'm losing it. I have 14 more practice tests to take but I don't even know if I should bother. Somehow, every practice test I take my scores are just getting lower and lower. I really don't know *** is going on...</p>
<p>Have you tried the SAT?</p>
<p>yea, I tried the SAT and will never go back… I got a 1820… like 590 600 620 or somethign but I sucked hard on that. I’m so ****<em>ing p</em>ssed right now. I can see my dreams drifting away.</p>
<p>yes i think you should stop people. just hit their limit. which in your case is a 32 ACT which a great score top 1% in the nation</p>
<p>my twin brother were ACT geniuses the one at Berkeley got a 33 and the one at USC got a 32. Yet my limit seems to be around 30. </p>
<p>but before you do quit check this guide that my bro at berkeley made. it might help you sure helped a lot of other people.

<p>I hate to say it, but there is such a thing as practicing too much. These tests are designed to test a person’s cumulative knowledge over all 11 or 12 years of formal education. Studying may be able to bump a score up a point or two, but once you get into the really high scores like you have, there’s not a lot you can do. For what it matters, a 31 is still a very good score, and if all other aspects of your application are strong then you don’t need to worry about your dreams slipping away.</p>
<p>i wouldn’t stop, 1.5 weaker practice tests is not a valid trend.</p>
<p>if you match your top scores on these practices (forgetting about the 35 eng you once got) you still have a 33.
32 eng, 33 math, 33 read,32 science.</p>
<p>sure, you can’t get that score every time–and it will involve a bit of luck to get them on the same test. But it’s not unrealistic. You’ve already proved that it’s possible.</p>
<p>Hmm, wow (won’t say name 
thanks for that, I’ve actually never thought of it that way. And also before I took the test in June I was KILLING pratice tests. I was consistantly hitting 34+ on math and english and averaging a 33 on reading. It’s so odd because all my scores seem to be so different. One day I hit a 35 english the next day a 29… I just hope after these 15 tests I can figure out all the tricks.</p>
<p>^did you ever get to send that email? -.- its been 3 days…</p>
<p>speaking of that pm me your email</p>
<p>^ok i sent it, please go check</p>
<p>email has been sent</p>
<p>thanks, do u have the answers to the tests?</p>
<p>Also, do u know which years you sent me?</p>
<p>edit: answers for first test only</p>
<p>NO idea which years, secondly no awnsers, paid 170$ an hr to my tutor but supposidly its their policy to not give awnsers… go figure</p>
<p>hey, UVA, the tests that you email out…are they the ones you have to print out? xD</p>
<p>Maybe you should take a little break. dont get frustrated. you still have plenty of time. space your practice tests out. dont rush through them. taking 7 pt’s and looking over them is way better than rushing through 14! 14 is a lot! it also all depends on your mood. be happy and healthy.</p>
