<p>I recently received my Feburary 9th Act scores back and was very disappointed with the results. I got a composite score of 32 which is not a bad score at all, however in all the official practice tests i have taken i was averaging a 34-35! Does anyone have any recommendations on how to overcome this? Or any personal experiences they would like to share?</p>
<p>You need to analyze why you think you did not perform as well on the real test.</p>
<p>Do you take the practice tests under simulated testing conditions (i.e. time, no distractions, do all sections in a single sitting, etc.)? That can go a long way in helping you perform just as well on test day.</p>
<p>Were your scores lower across the sections, or was there a single section that you did poorly on that brought down the composite score?</p>
<p>If you look at why exactly you didn’t do as well as in your practice tests, you’ll figure out how to avoid those errors next time.</p>
