<p>I bought the Kaplan ACT book, studied for about 2hours a night, took the practice tests and I was determined I would conquer the ACT. Don't have a good history with math, but I knew if I tried I could do well. But guess what I got, a 19!!!GOD why do I suck at life..</p>
<p>I got a 19 in science. Luckily, I am a junior and this was my first test, so I am confident that I will raise my score. What was your composite?</p>
<p>my composite was a 19...i'm a junior too, first time of taking ACT</p>
<p>at least you`re a junior. you will have plenty of time for a second testing.</p>
<p>Do you just take stuff out of the book for 2 hrs a night, or do you actually look at what you got wrong and build on it?</p>
<p>Maybe you should try to study it for 2 MONTHS (it really does help, trust me) and try different books (not just Kaplans, though they are pretty good).</p>
<p>Oh I studied hard, and for a month. I also studied during study hall everday, and did the practice problems n read the material..oh well</p>
<p>Ask for a rescore. There is something questionable about that score if you studied so hard. How were you doing on the practice tests? I know the frustration...my first SAT I got in the 500's on both subjects but got them up in the 700's eventually with hours, days, months of studying.</p>
<p>Yeah, maybe a rescore?</p>
<p>"GOD why do I suck at life.."</p>
<p>haha that made me laugh.</p>
<p>ACT is just one test. its not anything significant to your life.</p>
<p>maybe your just not that Smart.</p>
<p>yeah like me...lol just prep more and you'll do better next time no doubt december act was pretty tough</p>
<p>Yeah. Sit down and take a practice test right away. If you do significantly better than 19, call up and ask for a rescore.</p>
<p>try taking the SAT. Maybe you'll do better on that.</p>
<p>The best tule still applies, practice makes perfect (maybe not entirely perfect, but close to being so)</p>

Oh JoeySweets, you will soon learn, my ignorant grasshopper, that intelligence is not measured through standardized testing. You should surely know that with your none too impressive scores, hypocrite. Honestly, what makes you think that you have power to put someone down because of one test that she took? Why don't you stop being such a dick? You're obviously not too bright.
to OP: yeah. you're a junior, you have much potential. Don't listen to this douche bag above.</p>
<p>so what did you normally get on your practice tests?</p>
