<p>What is the best way? I am a junior right now and taking it in December. I am studying from the Sparknotes prep book. I want to get a 35 because I dont think I have enough APs for colleges to think that I have a rigorous schedule. Will a good ACT score make up for it?</p>
<p>No standard test will make up for the AP(s) next to your class name(s).</p>
<p>It shows that you are willing to work hard for a year, instead of showing that you can take a test for 3 hours.</p>
<p>How to Get a 35 on the ACT:</p>
<p>Answer every question right, then purposely answer 4 incorrectly.</p>

<p>There’s no secret to scoring high on the ACT. There are certain methods of test-taking that will allow you to maximize your potential score, but there’s no way to “just get a 35.” If there were some secret that would get anyone a 35 everyone would know about it and then everyone would be getting a 35. When people post these threads I’m not exactly sure what they want to hear. All I can say is practice a lot by taking practice tests, studying math concepts, studying grammar, and read lots of articles, graphs, and charts.</p>
<p>Also, because you’re a junior, I’d take the ACT every time it’s offered until next December because the ACT has the score report choice. By this time next year you’ll be very familiar with the content on the exam and probably will have a much better chance of scoring higher.</p>
