<p>I took the act three tunes and got 30, 32, and 34. I got 31 on english when I got my 34, but I know that I could get 34+ because I got 34, 35, and 36 on the red book tests I took. Should I retake the act to raise my english score (i got 32, 32, and 31) or will colleges overlook it? Will they think I’m too obsessive about my scores if I retake it?</p>

<p>I think it depends. If it comes down to you and a few others they might…</p>
<p>I improved my ACT English from 18 to 34-36…</p>
<p>I’ll give you a couple of tricks.</p>
<p>1.You are human.
Don’t just learn what you get wrong. Try to understand the patterns within the test itself.
For example, I realized I would get rhetorical questions wrong simply because I picked the answer choices that contained “understatement, personification, etc…” (Personification is an easy term, so don’t expect it on the test).</p>
<p>After learning a handful of those terms, my ability in the rhetorical questions improved quite a lot. Though, as a guideline, you usually shouldn’t pick answers with weird terms in it, as not ALL highschoolers take AP English.</p>
<p>Just doing simple things like this will help you stand above the average population.
Practice, Practice, Patterns, Practice.
GOOD LUCK.</p>
