I made a 26 first and got a 30 on the third try. Definitely some room for improvement.

I didn't have a chance to bubble in my last 10 because time ran out and he took away our tests. Why god?



Keep re-living this moment while you clock in as a plant worker for the next 45 years.

Weren't you the dipshit guaranteeing a 3.5+ GPA and a 170+ LSAT when you hypothetically graduate from college?

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 150 LSAT.

Depends what math you are taking. Advanced math helps.
Princeton Review averages a 3 point improvement. If you improve by too much, ACT will invalidate your score.

Disappointed with my ACT score
Took 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?


Pearl River Community College bound with that type of score I'm sad to report.

Unless you are still in middle school that would be a huge jump.

I scored a 27 as a freshman. Studied for it as a senior and made a 33 so its doable. The ACT is easy if you study for it correctly

Don't spend money on BS tutoring /boot camp classes

1- Get ACT prep book
2- Study ACT prep book

If you have any issues with math sections go to Khan Academy

To practice grammar go through all the lessons on English Grammar 101



3- Go to teachers to help with any concepts you can't figure out with those sources

First time I took it I made an 17, second time I made a 28. It was a year later, and I think I was just at a different stage in life with my head on a little tighter.

Scored a 34 my first time

Biggest reason I did well on non math/science (best subjects) was because I did vocab words. Literally made flash cards of EVERY word and studied them walking between classes. Sets up 20-25 at a time

24 on the ACT right now, getting a 160 on your LSAT is going to be your approx. max down the road.



You seem to be vastly over estimating

The transformation in a person between the time they take the ACT and the time they take the LSAT is huge for some people. I don't know much about the LSAT, but believe someone can do better by "turning their life around" in those 4 years. I watched the smartest people I know squander everything and dumbasses get into med school. Anything can happen. Not saying you should expect it, but it can happen.

You will probably max out at around 27 or 28 if you're lucky
