I took a practice ACT test at school in September and got a 27 composite. I took another one in November and got a 29. I have the Real ACT Prep book and just took a practice test. This is my scoring range (I gave myself 3-5 minutes less to do each section):

Composite: 29-30

English: 32-34
Math: 28-30
Reading: 27-30
Science: 28-30

I want to get into Johns Hopkins or Cornell. I’m aiming for a 34. Will buying another book with practice tests and doing 1 section every few days raise my score 4? I take the test in the end of April and I may take it again in June. Has anyone else improved a lot in a little bit of time?
