<p>i scored a 28 both times that i took the act thus far (with no preparation) and want to go to nyu. i know that i will have to raise this to a 30+, so i decided i would try to find a tutor to help with this. i went to a huntington learning center and was alarmed to discover that for taking a diagnostic practice test, an evaluation, then a meeting to discuss the plan to help me improve would cost $195 (without a single tutoring session!). this seems absolutely outrageous, does anyone have any other suggestions as i really need to improve my score to get into nyu and am taking the october act. thanks!</p>
<p>just buy some practice test books from your local barnes and noble and practice... that's how you get a higher score</p>
<p>Yeah tutoring IMO is for the rich kid who doesnt give a ****, that has parents that spoon feed their child till they are 17</p>
<p>^ i agree.. just get a lot of practice tests and do them.. that's what I did... it took my 5 tests (about 25 hours of my life), but i eventually got my 35.. just study a lot for it.. that's the key</p>
<p>That price is ridiculous. Companies like PR do free practice test/strategy sessions and you can get some pointers that way, then either prep on your own or do a class or get a tutor. Do you know what your weak areas are? What have you tried already to do it on your own? A study buddy might be a good idea too.</p>
