Test Preparation ACT Preparation

<p>I took the ACT in December. It was my first time, and I did no practicing or preparing, so I didn’t expect much. I finished the test with quite a bit of confidence, but seeing posts on this site made me doubt myself.</p>

<p>Here are my scores:
English - 36
Math - 33
Reading - 36
Science - 35
Composite - 35</p>

<p>I was amazed. My family and friends were amazed. I must’ve made a mistake by not taking the writing portion of the test. Should I take the whole test again just to try for a good score on the writing? I’m worried that top schools won’t accept the ACT without writing score.</p>

<p>What are your thoughts?</p>

<p>You will need to either take the SAT (and subject tests) or the ACT with writing for admissions to the “top” schools.</p>

<p>With some prep, you should be able to get your math up too.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>Now that’s awesome! I would definitely take the writing test to go to the top tier schools. Also, like crazymomster suggested, improve your math. You only need two 36’s and two 35’s to get a composite of 36. I’m jealous and happy for you, though!</p>
