<p>whats a good score for someone intrested in going into princeton with a 93 average at a competitive public school(its world famous)?</p>
<p>33+</p>
<p>(10 char)</p>
<p>ho long wud i have to study to get a 33+? the sample problems on the act ebsite seem reallly easy.</p>
<p>It depends. I would mostly review formulas/math facts and do some of the sample science section. If you're pretty smart then you should be okay just review a couple weeks before.</p>
<p>well i was at the act website and i got every single one of their practice questions right? is this indicative of me getting a 36 on the act or are their questiosn easier?</p>
<p>The real one is harder. If you are serious about a 33, get the official book and do the practice tests. FOLLOW this time limit! I can't stress this enough! Getting the questions right is easy enough, but getting them with time is the difference between a 30 and a 36!</p>
<p>im serious about a 35. what if i study for 2 hours a day on the weekdays and 10 hours on a weekned over the summer? will my 35 me achiaveable?</p>
<p>Oh whoah. That might be overkill, but yes definetly then.</p>
<p>idc anything to go to an ivy league.lols. if i get perefct recs, test scores and write perefct essays raise my average from a 92 to a 93, and join some new clubs and teams this term and next term and continue with my 4 year long internship and 3 year long research proect will this be ok for princeton?</p>
<p>you don't need to study for the act at all, let alone that much. if you studied that much, you'd literally run out of stuff to study after about a study session and a half.</p>
<p>i c. but if i study that much i might get a 36. btw i need to study grammar like crazy. i am clueless when it comes to grammar.</p>
<p>grammars a blast! its actually fun to learn!</p>
<p>how hard is the act grammar and how hard is it to learn?</p>
<p>all you gotta do is take the time to read whatever review book you have. I personally read PR.</p>
<p>I'd say anything above a 25 is good.</p>
<p>I actually would like to say that the test is becoming much harder than people expect. Although the Real ACT Prep is the best book out there, I'd still be careful on what to expect. The math towards the very end (last 15 questions) are becoming quite challenging, so make sure you have time for that. The questions on the website are definately easier than the actual test. On the February science questions, I discovered that knowing 'extra' information might have been useful in answering some genetics passage that was on there. (they usually say that all the answers are listed within the passage) When you go take the test, make sure to have confidence, but definately don't be over confident. just my two cent from a past ACT taker.</p>
<p>I know people usually say you should aim for the stars, but in the case of the ACT I think aiming for a 36 is only going to lead you to disappointment. The problem is getting a 36 involves a very large factor of luck. It is very challenging to answer almost every question correctly given the time constraints, and it's very likely that a few of the questions will be on topics you have not studied throughout high school.</p>
<p>I think aiming for a 32 or a 33 is a much better and much more achievable goal. No matter how much you prep you will likely never get a 36, but a 32/33 on the other hand is achievable provided you prep enough and are smart. How much prep is needed of course depends on how much you've learned in high school and on how good of a test taker you are.</p>
<p>Either way, good luck.</p>
<p>if he really preps as much as he says he's gonna, he can probably figure out the secret of psychic prediction in that amount of time, and just divine the answers to the test. :p</p>
<p>Hmm...Study as much as you need to attain the score you want. I guess you can just keep practicing until you get there...</p>
<p>The one kid who got a 36 from my school spent like 2 months. I remember someone else on CC who got a 36 that spent 3 months, but I don't know how long he spent studying per day. </p>
<p>Either way, just do what you have to do to get your score.</p>
<p>In terms of what's a good score, it really depends on the school you want to attend. Most state colleges that I know of give scholarships for 32+ because a 32 is the 99th percentile.</p>
<p>24 is the average i think.... but 30+ for a competitive school</p>
