<p>As you can see, the Art/Literature Reading was my huge weakpoint.</p>
<p>Anyway, I'd like to bring my score up to 33-34. Is this possible? I have the Real ACT Book, but have not done any practice tests yet. If I also get the PR ACT Book, and do all the tests in these books, will this be able to help me raise by 3-4 points? I plan on taking it September and in October, if needed.</p>
<p>I would just do practice tests. I personally feel like the ACT does not require extra preparation on specific sections. Just do whole practice tests and maybe read the PR for their review. Good luck.</p>
<p>yeah, i got 31 my first time and then 30 my second time (stupid reading!) I'm trying to get my scores up to a 33-34. Basically i'm just taking practice tests and trying to avoid stupid mistakes in math.</p>
<p>A 34 on a test is typically 1-3 questions wrong. That means you need to be an expert on the material being tested. The prep books like the princeton review and Real ACT help some people tremendously for some reason, but for others they don't help at all. If you don't see a significant score increase on the practice tests in each book, i'd say your best bet is to turn to studying the material itself, and that will probably require a lot of time.</p>
<p>Your reading composite and reading subscores look almost exactly like mine did on the April test. I scored 99% percentile on Social Studies/Science, but only around a 68% percentile on Arts/Literature. I found that the reason the arts/literature scores were so low was because my method on that test was to skip the passages and go straight to the questions. I found that this does not work very well on the prose fiction passage in particular, because many of those questions often require a deeper insight into the passage than you can get from simply skimming it.</p>
