Taking the ACT on Sat., and this will be the third time. I have gotten descent score on my other 2, but were relatively the same (26&28 ).
Any one got any tips to up the score a bit.
I'm pulling for a 30 this time (I hope).

Any certain reason?

I do know that guessing incorrectly gets you a worse score than if you were to just leave an answer blank on those type of tests. Basically a right answer gets you 2 points, a blank gets you 0, and a wrong gets you -1.

Not exactly those #s, but the point is there.

Geez that was a long time ago. I was kind of a slacker in high schhool, more concerned about workt hen high school/college stuff, so I just went took it, no studying, no regrets. I think I got a 25 or 26 or something, LOL.

I don't have any advice, plus that was a long time ago, I don't remember much about the test itself. I know just went in and took the test once. I did not study. Same thing with the SAT.

SAT ? ACT? what are those ?? I can't even remeber taking those tests .. even though everyone was talking about how important those numbers were gonna be in life .. I didn't care

so to be honest .. I'm proud of YOU and YOUR parents for making you realize the importance ..

not saying I would have gone in any different direction as I have in life .. but I think a little more edu-muh-cation woulda done me some good! :-)

Good luck ..

and don't shoot for 30 ... shoot for 40 :thumbup:

Actually, that's the SAT.
Got done taking it around 11:15 or so, and this one seemed really easy for some reason. I hope I did good.

I hope you did well too. It is always a mixed blessing for me when a test seems easy. Those are the ones I usually bomb.

Just don't party the night before. I made that mistake for both the SAT and ACT.

I don't remember exactly what I got on the SAT, but I know it was decent. As for the ACT, I ended up with a 28.

I got a 31, But I can't really give any advice, I didn't even study. I just took it because it was cheaper then the SAT's.
