ook my first crack at the ACT and and scored a 24. With studying can i lift my score up to a 30? Or is the ACT pretty accurate on determining your level with 1 sample?
If you study your arse off and take a couple of practice tests, I'd say raising it to 27-28 is not out of the question. Did you go in completely cold, or had you done at least some prep work.
I raised mine from a 30 to a 32 in a couple of months with just a little effort. Raised my SAT from 1320 (in a practice test) to 1420.
I see I outscored three petty bitches so far.

Take a class. Reschedule another test. Raising up to over 30 should be very possible for you. Practicing the type of questions they ask will help.
You'll never get into Yale with a 24, genius.

Why you disappointed, that's a pretty solid score. Smartest guy in my high school got a 25, full paid scholarship to welding school. He's balling now, you'll be fine.

You do realize Law School is 8 years away in my scenario right?

I jumped 6 points between my first and second try. Shouldn't be a problem at all.

Are you still in school or what? It's hard for anyone to give you an opinion if we don't know some additional information with regards to your situation. If you're out of school and older, then your score will probably not increase very much; however, if you're younger, then that may not be the case. For example, my son took the ACT in the 7th grade and did very well. I was worried when he retook it in the 9th grade because I didn't think his score would improve very much. But, I was wrong - his score increased by 5 points.
Study hard, keep your head up, and your score should improve...jumping 6 points may be a stretch though - good luck!

I scored a 24 on my first go. I then took the ACT prep class, which bumped me up to a 29 on the next test. It really doesn't test your intelligence, as I don't consider myself a very intelligent person...

Ummm I would say the first step in improving your score is to actually answer the questions.

Wow you are one dumb son of a gun

I know a guy that scored a 19 on his first attempt, he but kept studying and taking the test. Eventually he scored a 29 on his 4th try.

I have no time management skills at all
I'll tend to over focus on problems and doubt myself.

no lie, I got a 25 drunk.
Was so drunk I couldn't find the men's restroom at Jesuit High School and took a dump in the women's bathroom

Does getting high the weekend before count?

get high the night before, may actually do the trick, a lot of people suffer from test anxiety and the scores suffer

Yes. My opinion remains unchanged.*
Except for all the caveats that you didn't bubble in a bunch of answers, whereby I have no idea why you are "disappointed" or think that "24" is accurate.
But I can tell you now if you do score a 24 on your ACT before going to college you aren't getting over a 160 LSAT.

Hey man, I hate to tell you the bad news, but if you're scoring a 24 on the ACT right now, getting a 160 on your LSAT is going to be your approx. max down the road.
I remember you asking about law schools in a prior thread, so plan accordingly.
