Is 25 Good For a Sophomore?

A 25 is fair. It’s definately above average (the average senior would kill for a 25), but I’ve also seen sophomores with higher scores. I got a 29 my sophomore year, but that’s after taking algebra II. Then again, I had to take the test twice to get a 31 my junior year. I know someone who got a 29 as a sophomore, then jumped to a 35 the next year! So some people find they go up quite a bit, but others (especially those with already high scores) don’t always go up.

I have a feeling that after taking Algebra II, your score will increase a good bit, especially because it wasn’t exceedingly high to begin with. Very high scores (29 and above) are always hard to bring up because you have to start getting many more questions correct to get a higher score. I have a friend who scored a 30 as a freshman, but after ending his sophomore year, only rose to a 31.

You may also want to go ahead and review the small amount of trigonometry that’s on the ACT, as it is fairly easy. I see no reason why you can’t go up. Aim for a 30 or higher.
