<p>OK i just got deferred from College and I have to get in. If i don’t get in i am ****ed.
So i am taking the February ACT. 13 days remaining I will try to study 4hrs every day and on the weekend 7 hours.</p>
<p>Do you guys think its possible. </p>
<p>I am planning to use the Princeton review book and the real Act study guide.</p>
<p>Yes, if you put that many hours in, I’d be very surprised if you don’t hit at least a 24.</p>
<p>I think you could easily get 24 like oregon said. However, I’m curious as to how you’re going to get over 45 hours worth of things to study with?</p>
<p>I am using the act 1296 book by princeton review
every day i am doing 2 sections…math reading
A= math prac 1, reading prac 1
B= english prac 1, science prac1
C= tesst day
and the cycle goes on for 3 times</p>
<p>and there is 3 practice section
and 3 test</p>
<p>I will be done with the book by sunday then i will take 3 barrons practice test</p>
<p>Hopefully this works i need this…</p>
<p>I think if you just focus on English(easiest to boost your score) and just let go of Math (since it’s not about ACT preparation but accumulated years of studying), you can make it.</p>
<p>I’m in the same exact predicament you’re in! I also have a 20 and I NEED to raise my math and science, reading too but math is my main focus. Do you guys have any study method suggestions?</p>
<p>With that many hours of work, you’re definitely going to get somewhere. I wouldn’t be surprised if you went beyond your goals.</p>
<p>I’m doing the same. 21 composite. I need to raise my math score to from a 16 to at least a 19 but I’m shooting for a 21. I study all day in school and at home although I get distracted easily. I’m hoping to bring my 18 science at least up one point but I’m hoping for a 21 . I ran out of time on the second page on both the math and science sections and didn’t get to read one passage in the reading section, so I’m trying to improve that. Hopefully I can get my 24 English to a 25-7 and my reading from a 27 to a 28-30. I know I’m somewhat shooting high (for the amount of time I’ve had/have) but these are somewhat ideals. I mainly just want to bring my math score up b.c I keep getting deferred b.c of not meeting the freaking minimum math score requirement at different colleges 
Good luck, we CAN do it 
<em>fingers crossed</em> </p>
<p>*I’m studying with the Princeton Review “Cracking the ACT” book, and different websites I find online. One of them is Mathontime.com and I’m using the “free video program.” It may not be useful to those that are good at math, but it’s helping me time myself, correct common mistakes, and learn the math needed in order to solve each problem. Give it a go.</p>
<p>@MaydayParade, I’ll be looking into that math website you suggested! Math is my main concern also ):</p>
<p>In my opinion the best book to prepare for the ACT test is:
Gruber’s Complete ACT guide 2011. The math refresher sessions is great. My daughter is improving everyday in math with this book. Her english, reading and science are good (low 30’s) but her math was 21, and now she got to 27! So it helped her a lot!!! SHe is taking the test this Saturday.</p>
<p>one thing, this book focus on English, reading and Math.</p>
<p>very possible.</p>
<p>in fact, i went from a 21 to 33. don’t sweat the small stuff, all you gotta do is put in work. i know it’s hard, and i know i could’ve done better but i’m lazy.</p>
<p>The Real Act Prep Guide is sitting next to me in bed now…</p>
<p>sweetbunny–how did you go from 21 to 33? myd got a 20the first time and is taking them freb and april so far- she needs a 24 to get int o UCF or Indiana or Penn state but is a slow reader and cannot always finish the sectiions</p>
