<p>I received a composite score of 24 on my ACT (Im a junior so I Still have one more year to take it again.) Although I received 21s/22s on science, writing and math, I received a 30 on my reading portion (obviously a good score.) Should I focus on increasing my reading/writing scores even more (im interested in law studies)? Or should I focus on bringing all my scores up, including the reading section.</p>
<p>focus on the 21s and 22s. the first thing colleges see is your cumulative and getting those ones up by just a few points each would help you a lot more than focusing on your already solid reading score.</p>
<p>Focus on the other areas.</p>
<p>Get an ACT practice book (The Real ACT Prep Guide) and keep it by your bed. Each night read the helpful parts in the front. </p>
<p>Also do the practice sections. Some think that the writing section is easy to improve.</p>
<p>Also, sign up for the SAT. Since the Science Reasoning is not your strong point, then you might do better on the SAT.</p>
<p>Your interest in law studies will be irrelevant to your application, as law school is a graduate program, not undergraduate. Colleges look at all scores, and good science/math scores will demonstrate your ability to suceed in college level core courses of math, sci, and economics, as well as logic and reasoning abilities.</p>
<p>I know law is a graduate program, I was referring to pre law studies, or even just poli sci or communications for my undergrad. It seems that although all ACT subjects are important, reading and writing stand out for a pre law field</p>
<p>For the type of colleges that would accept you with your stats, they don’t usually accept students by major - they just accept you to the university.</p>
