Hey guys,
By studying a week, I got a 26 on the ACT. Is this a good score? Can I improve to 30 in a month?
If so, how?
An improvement of 4 is a great goal! Totally do-able.
Depending on how/what you studied during that one week, you may be able to do it with simple techniques. Pacing is a big part of the Science and Reading. Did you get through those? Did you leave any answers blank?
Plus you’ve taken it, the scary part of “the unknown” is gone 
It isn’t going to be a given, but you can totally do it.

Thank you. I have answered all the questions as I guessed on a couple reading and science questions. I don’t have the adequate pacing for me to get thru the reading and science portions of the test.
I am still getting around a 27.
Math - 34
English - 27
Reading - 24
Science - 25
PLEASE HELP ME ON READING AND SCIENCE.
Here is a good article I found. It lays out a few things that most people wouldn’t bother trying, but really would be beneficial. If you don’t want to read the whole thing (understandable) scroll down to the section header “Strategy 1: Understand Your High Level Weakness: Time Management, Passage Strategy, or Vocabulary”
and read through the 10 strategies they layout. Even if you only made a good effort on 2 or 3 of these, you will see an improvement.
