<p>English: 35-36
Math: 27
Reading: 35-36
Science: 27
Writing: 8-10</p>

<p>Composite: 31</p>

<p>My goal is to work on math and science before the September test, and bring my composite to 32 or 33.</p>

<p>GoodACTor is clearly lying.

  1. Out of the tens of thousands of samples of literature available online, he would could not have read each of those four texts from the test. I am quite certain people don’t just find material about Polynesian tattoo women and Loess prairies. Period.
  2. 75 writing questions could not have been adequately and accurately completed within approximately 27 minutes.
  3. No one who has any hope of getting a 36 would forego the use of a calculator.
  4. If he had taken EVERY scientific AP test, logic dictates that he almost would have had to be a senior in the 2011-2012 school year, hence negating the need for a June ACT.
  5. There are only four pages designated to the Writing portion of the ACT.
  6. An argument related to controversial clothing based on socioeconomics does not merit a 12. There is little relevance, and the arguments have to be logical. Knowing this joker, he probably did wrote about socioeconomics, though.
  7. He would almost have to have a satellite phone to be posting like this in an area of Africa which is obviously not within a major city.</p>

<p>I am more astonished that the distinguished people on CC would fall for this braggart’s antics, though.</p>

<p>GoodACTor:</p>

<p>You claim your phone is an Env3, which you are using to post here with. The Env3 is a VERIZON cell phone that ONLY works in the US! Furthermore, it’s a CDMA phone, so it doesn’t even use Sim cards.</p>

<p>Yeah, nice try.</p>

<p>You guys, I just want to point out that @goodactor only made his/her account on June 10th, the day after the June ACT, and if you look through his/her posts, it’s quite obvious that the account was made expressly for discussing the ACT, as all of his/her posts are in the ACT forum. It certainly seems as if this is the first time@goodACTor is taking the ACT, then, given that he/she did NOT make an account after the April ACT, or the February one, or whatever one that he/she apparently took and got a 36 on. Just an observation, but people tend to make accounts to discuss standardized testing right after or before the test, and judging from this kid’s bragging capabilities, it’s a wonder that he/she didn’t make an account earlier to gloat about his/her supposed ‘36 35 36 36 11’ on a previous test.</p>

<p>Also, there are only four pages for the writing section.</p>

<p>Also, he/she did not get straight 36s, at least in English, judging from his/her answers in the discussion forums. Sorry.</p>

<p>@republicratic…I quite agree with your post - I just find one thing off. I did complete the English section in about 25 minutes both times I took the ACT (before this one) and got 36s on both. That’s not to say I fell asleep in the middle, though. </p>

<p>But yeah, it’s kind of funny how people actually waste their time and energy arguing with trolls. This guy must have gotten a good laugh out of it. :)</p>

<p>■■■■■ @Republicratic…I see why you made that name for yourself hahahaha
Also, as skylimits said, the english section can easily be done in like 20 to 30 minutes. I usually do it in about 35 minutes, but that’s because I try to be careful</p>

46

<p>you guys are all smart, idon’t know how you studied. I mean most of you are expecting thirties (geniuses )
I mean how did yoou studied?
Ithink
English 22-25
reading 18-21
science 16-21
math 16-20</p>

Personally, I didn’t study much for the ACT but I studied for AP exams, the SAT, and subject tests. What I can say is taking classes that require good time management and critical thinking skills definitely helped. If you are a slower test taker, I feel like taking practice tests can definitely help, especially if you review every question that you miss.</p>

<p>I also looked around this forum for tips on how to succeed on the ACT; there’s a guide by a Princeton student on here that’s pretty helpful as well as an essay guide.</p>

<p>I think most of it is getting used to the test and being able to expect and plan for each section. I know I made sure to find out the number of questions / timing for each question.</p>

<p>For unconventional help on standardized tests you could try buying a program from [Testing</a> Is Easy?Best SAT, ACT, LSAT, GRE, SSAT, ISEE Prep Courses](<a href=“http://www.testingiseasy.com/]Testing”>http://www.testingiseasy.com/) . I don’t have any affiliation with them but if you sign up for the mailing list, you can get a huge discount (or just email the person who made the videos). It’s also possible that you’d do better on the SAT and you may want to look into prepping for that test.</p>

<p>@ skylimits @ratmkino
So, when you do have 10-20 minutes remaining for the English portion, do you go back and check your answers? Just out of curiosity. I finished in thirty, but then I practically retook that portion while checking my answers, using up my remaining 15 minutes by doing so. I might just be OCD in that way, though.</p>

49

<p>@republicratic: yes, I always check my answers at least once (although sometimes I do twice if I can manage it.)</p>
