When should I start studying?

Test Preparation
1

I am a sophomore planning to take the ACT sometime in the fall of 2016(Sept, Oct, Nov).My goal is to get 32+ and my PLAN projected score is between 25-29 but I hear most people do better than the projected.

When should I start studying? How many hours per day? What books are the best? I want to have enough time to actually get a 32+ but don’t want to be paranoid about it and study more than I have to.

I was thinking that 3 months about 5 hours a week would be good. Any thoughts?

Take another practice and see how you do.

@lostaccount I was planning on doing this but I am currently busy with a hectic schedule. Do you think taking it later in the spring will still give me enough time to do well?

Yes, plenty of time. Go enjoy high school. Don’t worry about college and ACT/ SATs until junior year.

Summer between sophmore and junior year is optimal for practice testing and beginning your prep. Don’t worry about it now.
