Hiow many points do people gain on the ACT test each time they retake it?

Question

I am a tenth grader(in louisiana, where the average ACT score for seniors is a 19) I made a 19 one it, im horrified. I took the PLAN test and it said I would make between a 23-27 so my fingers are still corssed. By the way, I always do well on my state tests so im expecting an increase, im shooting for a 25, is that possible for me? And remeber, this is louisiana

It was my first time takeing it. I wasen't used to timed test so on the reading I sort of half read and ended up just marking answers on some parts. I had a 22 in English, a 20 in science, and a 17 in both reading and math

Answer 1

It depends alot upon the individual. I got a 28 in the 11th grade, then a 32 in the 12th. My sister took it three times and her score went down each time. A big factor since you're still in the 10th grade will be classes like Chemistry, Physics and Pre-Cal that you haven't covered yet. If you take the test after even just a brief introduction to those classes, you'll see a good improvement over your previous scores. My science score jumped like 7 points because I hadn't taken any Chemistry before my first test. You'll also probably get better at time management with each test.

Answer 2

Students in ever increasing numbers are retaking the ACT Assessment. They do so because of a desire to raise their scores to meet the requirements of a certain scholarship agency, to meet college entrance requirements, or for their own personal satisfaction. However, it is rare when the score improves significantly. The average score increase is approximately 0.8.
I took it twice, and mine actually went down a point from a 26 to a 25
it doesnt hurt to retake it though. buy a prep book and sign up for another ACT test.
good luck :)

Answer 3

Students who are having retake exams usually get a higher score than before. They tend to increasing knowledge for them not to be disappointed the 2nd time around.....
