I just took the ACT for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and i made a 16 without studying. In order to get a full scholarship i need to make a 28. The next and last test for this year is in about two in a half weeks, and i need to make a decent score. Ive been studying a little for the past week or so. What is the best guide to use, and do you think i can score that high in that amount of time?

i don't think you will score that much higher. studying helps, it might even boost your score 3 or 4 points, or maybe even 5. but 12? no way dude. i winged it the first time and got a 29, studied a lot, then got a 30. my brother boosted his score 2 points the 2nd time. i think 2pts is the standard improvement. good luck though!

If you got a 16 without studying, that's pretty bad. It's pretty much impossible for you to raise your score 12 points. Unless you were sleeping during the test, your 16 is probably not much lower than your maximum score. I'm guessing that since the next ACT you're taking is in a few weeks, that would be the December ACT ... unless you have a lot of homework, study a lot for the ACT over Thanksgiving. (That's what I'm doing - I have to get my score up to at least 31 from 30.)

Some students take tutorials to try and raise their ACT score, but generally it is a test of your accumulated knowledge and abilities and not how much you can cram in. Unless you just made no effort on the test you recently took, you can expect to raise your score a few points, maybe 3-4. For your sake I hope I am wrong.

no, you probably cannot. A 16 is way lower than average (which is about 21 or 22), and a 28 is well above average. But good luck, study hard to bring up your 16.

ok- this sounds lame, but....i did a speed reading course "on tape". lol, they probably have cd's now. but anyway. improving your ability to understand content at a quicker speed will improve your overall score. go to an act class too, they know some "tricks," but the speed reading sh*t will really help. i went from a 24 to a 29 with it.
also, you'll be better the 2nd time around bc you know what to expect...and don't forget- eat breakfast that morning, and get a good night's sleep!! 2 nights before too!
