Yes- English is a very easy section to improve upon. I would definitely go over previous act tests that you can find on actquantum.com as well as many books. Becoming familiar with how the act tests redundancy and nonessential clauses is a great and easy way to bring up a couple points. For the English section I would actually recommend getting a grammar book and becoming extremely familiar with different types of clauses and conjunctions. I went from hardly knowing what a pronoun was to scoring a 35 English on the April state test (June hasn’t come out yet). I hope this helps! Definitely just do a little studying; it will greatly help your English score!</p>

-redundancy
-nonessential vs essential clauses ( be careful for reflexive)
-parallel construction
-dangling modifiers (not quite as common)
-conjunctions
-keeping it short and concise
-staying away from words like "being"and “it”</p>
<p>Anyone here from Texas?</p>
<p>I’m not from Texas. I’m from Missouri !</p>
<p>Seattle</p>
<p>Can someone give me a prediction of the curve for all the sections. I haven’t got my scores yet. </p>
<p>Texas as well, haven’t received scores.</p>
<p>So I got a 32 composite, 31.5 to be exact. I’m pretty happy, all my scores either went up or stayed the same (although the curve was mean, I got more questions right this time around and my score stayed the same) but I’m a little worried about my writing when it comes out. I wrote a pretty solid essay, i think, so I’m expecting relatively good but anything less than an 11 will make my english score go down, and theoretically, my composite down to a 31. I’ve heard, though, that the writing doesn’t affect the composite. Is this true and should I be worried?</p>
<p>34 Composite here!</p>
<p>36 English
35 Reading
31 Math
32 Science</p>
<p>First time I took it, the best way to prep (which is what I did) is to use old practice tests (aka the big red book). I did six practice tests. Oh, and I got a 2050 on the SAT, so clearly ACT is “my test”. Lol</p>
<p>I guess we’ll have to wait till wednesday then @dune297 </p>
<p>@RedWings5535 I’m pretty sure math was -1=35, -2=34, but I could be wrong. I don’t think math has ever had -1=36.</p>
<p>@aStryker97 Math does have -1 = 36, most of the tests in the red book are -1 = 36, and even one has a -2 = 36, plus I forgot to answer one question on the math in April and still got a 36.</p>
<p>Does this curve seem right:
E: -5 (32)
M: -7 (30)
R: -7 (30)
S: -2 (34)</p>
<p>I haven’t got my scores back yet</p>
<p>@CaptJack the red book curves are way too generous, and IMO not indicative of real curves. But if you got a 36 with missing one then it’s obviously possible :)</p>
<p>@aStryker97</p>
<p>Red Book curves are the most accurate curves you will find. I got a 36 in Math last time I took the ACT and I am 100% sure I got 1 of them wrong</p>
<p>^ @thesoxpride10 I agree. When I did all my practice tests I got 32 consistently, and then on the real test my weakest sections were around that range as well. If anything I felt the real test was curved quite a bit.</p>
<p>@thesoxpride10 Oh really? Huh, my bad. I guess just bad experience with them lol.</p>
<p>Does this curve seem right:
E: -5 (32)
M: -7 (30)
R: -7 (30)
S: -2 (34)</p>
<p>I haven’t got my scores back yet
Please guys i’m really stressing about this</p>
<p>I did two practice tests from the red book and got 35s on both. On the actual test I got a 35 too, so it was accurate for me</p>
