<p>Ok ACT score came back as 19 composite for my first try , i know i can get that up .........but is that REALLY bad ? </p>
<p>On the other hand i have a 3.6 GPA for my high school career , i am active in community service and i want to go to school for business , any thoughts ?</p>
<p>No offense, but that’s bad. You have to boost that if you want to get into a decent, non-community college. </p>
<p>alright i understand thanks for that advice </p>
<p>What was your preparation effort for the first ACT attempt? Did you just show up or you took a set of practice tests and reviewed a lot of the relevant concepts. That would give me some sense of what you could do correct.</p>
<p>I didnt get to do the prep my school only allowed a limited amount of students which was not helpful at all … i did prep by myself basically once or twice a week for 3 weeks </p>
<p>It might sound weird, but take a look at the Spark Notes ACT Prep Guide. It’s actually very helpful. </p>
<p>Like the first poster said that ACT score is pretty bad and improving it would open many doors. Best</p>
