How about just finishing the test? You don't lose points for a wrong answer!

16 in math - just mentally quit halfway through and didn't bubble in rest of the answers.

Science 23 - didn't bubble in the last 10


If you would have just bubbled C for all of them you would have at least made a 25

Yes, this is the professional debater whose hobbies include putting his Ivy League teachers in their place because he knows their intelligence is far inferior to his.

Don't sweat it. Provided you have decent extracurriculars, you can still get into a top notch trade school with that score.

My youngest sister busted her arse to bring her ACT from 21 to 26. She got into almost every school she applied to, but had more extracurriculars than I've ever heard of and had a 4.0

As someone who scored a 30 without studying, let me tell you that it is HIGHLY unlikely that you will increase your ACT score from a 24 to a 30.

A 24 is 74th percentile. A 30 is 95th percentile.

ACT SCORE PERCENTILES

Do you really believe that you can make your way into the 95th percentile of test taking simply with some "studying"? It's not going to happen.


A 24 isn't THAT bad. Sure, you're probably never going to take down 6 figures or have a super attractive wife. That being said, it is (by definition) MORE intelligent than average.

I would estimate your earnings potential to be roughly $50k/yr by the time you grow up.

Randall. The best thing I ever did was take this class at uno that shows you how to take the act and achieve the best possible grade. They basically teach you how to guess right. I guessed 20+ questions on the science portion and that was my best section.

Made a 22 took a 60 mg vyvance got a 29 my second time and that was good for me, the act is all about focusing on everything in the question the material isn't hard.

I made a 21 while under the influence. Did not care

You and every other person that posts here. Again, 99% of the OT is in the 99th percentile. It's pretty astounding.

Depending on your age/education level - if you're 15 and still have three years of HS education left you can expect a chance at crackin' 30.

If you're 24 and already have an associates degree, you probably should get a refund from University of Phoenix Online.

I don't remember. It doesn't really matter they all cover the same stuff. Princeton review has good ones.

Don't let the size of the book sike you out. Just chip away at it and you'll improve.
