<p>Share biggest point jumps and also how many points can you go up without being red flagged?</p>
<p>My friend went from a 28–>36. But he said the first time he took it he had no idea about the format, timing, etc…Apparently the 36 came from 2 practice tests.</p>
<p>I know some one who went from 25 to 35</p>
<p>I only went from 29–>32 composite but my english went from 26–>35</p>
<p>Went up 23 to 28 easily barely did any practice got a 5 point increase. I did practice though, not to the full extent that I could have. I could easily have gotten a 32 I felt if I practiced very hard for this.</p>
<p>I went from a 25 to a 32…now waiting on these…</p>
<p>I like these stories. They give me hope 
I got 28 on the April 2012 test. I didn’t study for that test and had not taken the ACT in 3 years (I took it once in 7th grade, and I took the April test at the end of the 10th grade). I’ve bought some prep books (They actually do help!) and I believe I’m ready to challenge the ACT another time. I hope to achieve at least a 33 in September 2012</p>
<p>Best of luck to you!</p>
<p>Wow you took the ACT extremely early, good luck to you too!</p>
<p>20 to 31…well the 20 I got in 7th grade but yeah…lol 31 was at school last year (11th grade) and I had the SAT the same week so I had no idea what to expect. Hoping for 35/36 now.</p>
<p>@limitless what book has helped you the most?</p>
<p>I’ve taken the ACT 3 times. The first time I got a 24, second time a 26, third time actually studied a bit beforehand and got a 29. I’m taking it one last time and hope to get a 32.</p>
<p>From end of junior year to beginning of senior year, both my kids added five points to their composite. Tutoring and taking 3-4 full practice tests over the summer.</p>
<p>@northwesty: what was their score at the beginning?</p>
