<p>Heyy. I live in Canada and want to go to school in the US. I scheduled my ACT for beginning of Feb. and am usually a straight A student in school. However, I took 2 practice tests and i got 21-23 on them (composite score). Do you think it’s possible to bring it up to 32+ by Feb? If so,
Whats the best strategy?
Thank you

<p>Wow! What were your scores by section?
Besides more practice tests, have you considered the SAT?
Beyond that, check out [The</a> National Center for Fair & Open Testing | FairTest](<a href=“http://www.fairtest.org%5DThe”>http://www.fairtest.org) for colleges that don’t require SAT/ACT for admission.
Good luck!</p>
<p>I went from a 24 to a 32 over a time period of 2 years.</p>
<p>Seems unlikely, a 27-28 is possible though. Study the Official ACT book, and some other books. Learn from your mistakes (find out what you got wrong and stop making the same mistakes).</p>
<p>Taking standardized tests is a skill, and it doesn’t look like you have it - sorry if that’s harsh, but I’m just being honest. If you study a LOT and learn how to take the ACT a 32 is possible, but honestly I think it’s unlikely.</p>
<p>What sections are you doing badly in?</p>
<p>Are you running out of time?</p>
<p>in the reading sections, are you getting down to 2 possibilities, and then guessing wrong?</p>
<p>How are you doing in the English section?</p>
