<p>Hello!<br>
I came to the united states three years ago, and I am good student. I have a 5.0 Gba and I am taking hard classes this year, but My act score is 19. Is that good for college? And ,anyway, how do I improve my Act score? is it possible to raise the act score by 8 pts?I have one month till my second act test.Thank you</p>
<p>p.s
also i am planning to take the act on September, if my score didn’t improve</p>
<p>you should look for schools for which your scores fall in the middle-50% range. You’re not going to be able to bump your scores up by that much in a month. It’s just not happening.</p>
<p>Well also i am planning to take the act on September</p>
<p>don’t lose hope, it’s definitely possible, try taking a class, and doing a lot of practice tests. study your grammar, practice a lot of math questions, read some classic books (Tale of Two Cities, How To Kill a Mockingbird…), and just be fast on science, don’t necessarily try to understand the passages, just understand what they’re asking, I guess. good luck.</p>
<p>It’s really easy for people to say, just lower your expectations, but don’t let that get you down, an 8 point improvement is much easier from say 19 to 27 than it is from 27 to 35. I can attest to that, in the middle 10th grade, I got a 22, and at the end of 10th grade, I got a 32, and I really didn’t do much differently from those two tests except take a lot of practice tests.</p>
<p>Thanks man! I hope i could get a good score; I am the kind of person who works hard.</p>
<p>I agree w/practicing. Practice, practice, practice, and then practice some more. It will improve your score. Make sure to really go over the problems that you miss so that you don’t make similar mistakes on future tests. Also, I so agree w/going over the grammar rules. My daughter used to have trouble w/the English section, but w/doing lots of practice tests, and really going over some basic grammar rules, she has been able to improve her English score. It is probably the section that she has made the most improvement on. Math also helps if you go over a lot of practice tests because you will have a good representative sample of the types of problems that you will come across on future tests. With reading and science, just taking practice tests will get you used to the timing, pacing, and format of the test. If you put the time into preparing and practicing, I think it is very probable that you can see meaningful results. Good luck!</p>
