<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>The only prep I have done so far is taken two practice tests.</p>
<p>I got 25 the first time. (didn’t understand how the test worked or anything. Just walked in and took it)</p>
<p>I got 28 the next time.</p>
<p>I plan on taking the February 2013 ACT test. </p>
<p>What is the best long-term prep that I can do to improve my score the most?</p>
<p>I ask because I don’t want to aimlessly just take practice tests.</p>
<p>Thank you all.</p>
<p>honestly, just take tests haha. it may seem aimless, but there is straight up very little you can gain from doing anything but practice tests.
Make sure you’ve taken through Algebra-2/Pre-cal or whatever you need to answer all the questions on the math section.
Buy a princeton review or something and read every single rule from the english section (commas usage, colons, conjunctions and all that random stuff). Make sure you know all the english grammar rules.
And then from there on out, just take a practice test weekly or biweekly. make sure you go over the answers you missed after the practice test. you will see your score increasing, and you will get faster and faster everytime.
also, try and make sure you only take REAL ACT practice tests. princeton review, barrons, and all those other tests weren’t made by the ACT and thus have inaccurate difficulty levels.
have fun.</p>
<p>Dude you post in here too much, just ****ing study.</p>
<p>trolling is fun. live with it.</p>
<p>Just kiddin but I study also. While checking this for anything new.</p>
<p>My tip for the English section is if there are multiple answers that seems right, choose the one that is the most concise. You also do not want to alter the meaning of the sentence, only to improve the sentence’s coherency. </p>
<p>Figuring this out allowed me to get my 27 in English up to a 35(multiple times). You also need to know your grammar.</p>
<p>That’s actually a really nice tip! Thanks for reminding me about the changing the meaning of a sentence rule. I think that will really help.</p>
