strategy for studing the act test

<p>I want to improve upon my scores to where they where on the April test(which are real bad to say here). I have the Prinecton Review, but I want to get some more pratice test. My goals for the June test are as follows</p>

<p>E-28
M-(score between a 25-29)
R-27
S-26</p>

<p>I just want know how many questions I need to get right. Also I want some help on the English section, math topics; to study for. Also I need get a freeking clue on the science section.</p>

<p>Ok. It will be hard for anyone here to tell you exactly what you need to study. But, for example, i know i am extremely weak in geometry due to a poor teacher, so i reviewed some of the geometric material covered in the book and memorized some of the terms associated with it. My subscore for my geometry and trig was the highest for my math. You need to specify what you need to focus on in each section and focus on that one paticular thing. As far as science goes, you can almost always skip the introductions and meaningless text. I went straight to the questions except on the competing scientist one, which is simply passages from two scientist with differing views. But yeah, i would skip straight to the question when possible to save time and focus on what it ask and find that information in the graph/table you need.</p>

<p>I was in the same boat as you in February. I had a 24 composite with a 22 in english, 32 math, 23 reading, and 25 science. The english score is the easiest to raise. I went from a 22 in february to a 34 in april by doing 3 kaplan english tests and 3 ACT Guide (red book) tests. After each practice test, GO OVER YOUR ERRORS and read the explanations. The RED book is excellent because it is made by the people of ACT.</p>

<p>bmsa91, The Princeton Review book should have the same time deal with the explanations to answers. If you really dont understand one and want to know why thats correct, they have excellent help and reasoning for you to use.</p>

<p>Use the Real ACT for sure, and like everybody else said look over your errors and learn from them. As for numbers of questions missed, it depends on the curve, which varies significantly administration to administration. I would suggest taking the real practice tests then using the curves they provided since they were what counted when the test was originally given.</p>
