Answer 1

CALM DOWN! YOU DID GREAT! But if you want to practice to get higher ones then you could do science trivia's and take as many exams practices. ASk your school for vourse prep for ACT they are usually offered at community colleges and they don;t only help with the exam but of HOW you take the exam. Trust i have learned it makes a big difference of how to take an exam. You will be fine adn if you don;t relax then you will do more harm than good.

Are you crazy? 25 is a good score. My brother got a 26 and he got into the best university in our state. Only the SUPER geniuses get above 30, I'm talking about the valedictorians. All I can say is study out of Test Prep books for the ACT, they sell them at Barnes and Nobles, and take the test again if your really that unhappy.

Answer 3

why? whats the big deal...you're A.C.T.'s dont matter...they just raise more money for the government if you take them...it doesnt make a difference...calm downn,seriously it doesnt.

Answer 4

25 isnt a great score. Yea you'll get into colleges and everything but it matters when you get a job. They might look at you score and not hire you. It is a big deal to get into a good college so that way you can find a job easily. People are more willingly to hire some who graduated from berkley then someone from devry. So in order to get into a good college you need to get a good score. Take the test again...and some thing that will help you is the princeton review. It costs a lot but it will help your scores go up. I know people who got a 32 on their act because of princeton.

There are some free SAT/ACT practice sites:
