How can I get a better score on the ACT?!?

Question

I've taken the ACT just last year and I scored a 17! Taking in consideration that I was out of school for 2 years. I bombed the math section that was the part that killed my score [I recieved a very high score on the Reading].

I need help. Any tips on how I could get some tutoring?

Answer 1

Sit with a review book (I'd suggest the 'Princeton Review') and go through each section of the book. It has great tips and inside info into the test which really helped me. You have plenty of time until the next ACT exam so you should be fine once the test comes around. And do the practice test: don't try and simulate the testing conditions, though... that never works and is just b.s.. Good Luck!!

Answer 2

Get into some ACT Prep classes, or get a ACT prep book, (those are extremely helpful) The princeton review is good, but personally I like the Kaplan version of it. Mainly because it has alot more practice tests and tips on how to answer the questions.

The national average for the ACT is a 21, so your not that far behind. =]

Just bump up those math scores, and a 17 is not bad for being out of school for 2 years.

Hope this helped, and Good Luck! =]
