How to get a good score on the ACT
It made me
 "A 21 is good enough for me."
How I did it: I practically spent my whole life studying for standardized tests. Since elementary school I studied to get into Catholic private schools. Then it was the ACT, SAT, and AP. I got a 21, 22, 21. The only reason why I score so low is because of my reading speed (disability?) Lessons & tips: Life is unfair. Some people have to work super hard just to get a 21 (that's me), for others don't have to study and can get 30's (one of my stoner friend). If you can't achieve a 25 on the ACT try again in life for the GMAT or MCAT if you can. Resources: Kaplan, Barrons, Official Guide, Princeton Review, McGraw Hill, Online. |

It made me
moderately happy 
How I did it: I mostly did it through practicing with the aid of a tutor. I got the book, I went to a tutor almost every day during my summer and did practice questions. My tutor answered every question I had and helped me with my weak areas. Read how I did it…

Ok so I took the September ACT two days ago and I didn’t study once again! I don’t know what’s wrong with me and why I refuse to study. Well if I don’t do well on this one I guess I will have to be happy with my 30 since I am probably applying to college early somewhere. Perhaps if things don’t go well, i’ll take it again in October for regular decision just in case.

Finally figured out after six times with little improvement I should settle with my score. It’s important but not that important.

I got my scores back and got a 30 AGAIN! Arggg! Well at least I didn’t go down and both my math and writing scores went up! Its just my science went from a 32 to a 30. I’m going to study next time around and try to do better!
Well awesomeaida, what sections are you having trouble with? My best section by far is the reading section so if you need help with that I can give you a few tips. As for the math section I suck and I am trying to do better on that myself. I took a SAT class at one point and I actually use a lot of the strategies I learned and apply them to the ACT. Also I think the class thing is a great idea because it allows you to take the exam multiple times in a test setting. Good luck with everything!!

I got a 24 without studying, which is good enough to get into the state schools and whatnot but I need to improve it to make up for my weak areas in other parts of my college application. I’m shooting to get in the 30s… I’m using the Princeton Review guide and maybe getting tutored later on… any one have any advice?

I know could have done better, but I still did pretty damn good. I didn’t study or even really try on anything. I feel bad for people who have to bust their asses just to get a 20.
