i can't imagine that she hs reached her limit since she went into the first test having never looked at an ACT before. i forgot what she said, but there was something that totally surprised her, like the science section or something!

she has raised different sections (some as much as 6 points) but she just doesn't get everything together all on the same day apparently.

i am not pushing her ... she is trying to qualify for a certain scholarship.

i think 29 is a good score, too, but not good enough for that particular scholarship.

To those of you who scored in the 33 and above range on English and Math, do you remember what kind questions you got wrong or through you off? Did similar questions to the ones you got wrong come up within prep? Thanks.

27 - practice test
23 - I screwed up badly, 2 hrs of sleep, and no calculator
26 - skimed through kaplan book

I noticed no one used Kaplan, is it not helpful or is the Redbook and 1296 simply "better" prep?

The hardest math questions generally change a lot. You won't find much similarities from books. You just need the math skills to figure them out on the spot.

Daughter's ACT 33 (35E, 35R, 34M, 29S) She ran out of time on the science portion and hasn't taken any biology since 9th grade so she "Christmas Treed" the last five questions. No prep and doesn't want to take it again as her SAT is a 2320 (1520 CR & M) Personally, I would like her to retake to improve science to get a 34+ composite. Oh well.

MikeWozowski · 10-07-2009, 05:11 PM

i think 33 is probably plenty.

good for her.

i got a 35 english 34 math 29 reading and 36 science (34 composite)...english i think is mostly natural knowledge of the language, almost everyone i know doesnt do very well on it. science is not science knowledge its just evaluating graphs and using common sense. math i think people have the most problems with 3-D space problems where you need to find a 2D shape to work with within a 3D shape. and i dont think i should speak for reading because obviously i didnt do well...i think most people run out of time.
