<p>Hi I am a junior that just took the ACT and I recieved a 17 I would like to boost it up to a 24 or higher. How do I do that?</p>
<p>Ok so first get the red Real ACT prep book, it has 3 practice tests. It also has some tips for the tests. Just read it and do the practice problems. Do you know why you scored low? Is it because you ran out of time? If so work on pacing with a watch Or didn’t know the content. In this case get a book like Barron’s or Princeton Review to help learn the content more. This should get you started. Your target score is definitely achievable.</p>
<p>The ACT book has 5* practice tests. I can’t judge how much of the content you really know but the best way of improving scores is taking practice tests and reviewing all your iffy and incorrect answers. There’s no special trick and it’s just simple studying-- work and you’ll get the scores you want. Motivate yourself.</p>

Haha I must have the older version of red book, mine only has 3</p>
<p>Oh rly? Don’t worry, the two extra aren’t that big of a deal. If you need more though, you know what to get ;]</p>
<p>Yeah, I have barrons and its is most useful to the people who want to achieve a score of 32-36 and Princeton will help too, but I think if you dont know the content do read Princeton and THEN DO THE RED BOOK</p>
<p>you can also buy “McGraw-Hill’s 10 ACT Practice Tests” for practice</p>
<p>if you post more info, we can give better help.</p>
<p>if english is troubling you, spend time reviewing grammar books</p>
<p>if science is, you have to do more practice and learn to answer the questions with the graphs and tables better</p>
<p>same advice for science applies to reading sections. find ways to help you remember info from the passage</p>
<p>i cant really help you with math since i’ve always been good at it :p</p>
