How likely is it for someone to raise their grade from a composite score of 31 to a composite score of 34 on the second time taking the test (assuming they study a little more)?

I am trying to get a college scholarship. I am one point away from the required ACT composite score to get the scholarship & I have the GPA. I have taken the ACT multiple times and while my latest score is the highest, one of my past English test scores is higher. How do college’s stack scores? The college I am looking into attending will stack scores only for awarding scholarships.
Are sub-scores for individual subjects taken into consideration for stacking?

Hello! I am taking the ACT test again this year as part of a program for gifted students (roughly 30,000 participate; 300 receive honors). I took the test last year in seventh grade and received a composite score of 29.

I recently took a practice test out of The Real Act Prep book. I got a 33 in English, 31 in Math, 36 in Reading, and 25 in Science. I can squeeze a couple more points out of the first two on the real test, but I’d like to significantly improve my Science score. How can I answer the questions more efficiently?

I just got my ACT test scores back. Here they are:

Composite score: 23

English: 27
Math: 18
Reading: 26
Science: 21

I am in the 69th percentile in the U.S.

So how did I do? I know nothing about the ACT scoring system, and I cant seem to get a clear answer off google. Will I get into a university with this score?
I got an 8 on the essay portion.

I have taken the ACT only once, and even though it’s easier than the SAT (which I havent taken), the time issue brought me down…just thinking about how much time I had left made me lose my concentration and therefore, made me lose more time.

For instance, in the Reading section, do you read the whole and terribly long passage or just answer while reading??
I didnt know what to do, I was just so nervous, and plus I didnt get any practice before the test (my bad

I got a 19 composite score (30 is max)…and I desperately need a 26!!!!! I have a few more chances to take it now in my senior year, but if you could give me some strategies I’d really appreciate it…
I thought it was 30, thanks for correcting that….

Is 16 a below average composite score?

Is 16 a below average composite score?

I just took a timed sample test online and I only answered about 40% of the questions. I’m so slow at reading and the time of the exam is soooooooo short. Has anyone else had this same problem?
Am I hopeless or is there something I can do? (Nothing expensive please) MY exam is in about 6 weeks!

I’m so worried and stressed as I can’t retake it for some reason.
I need to get a composite score of 18. I don’t see how that is possible.
And for those who say you should have studied in high school. I wasn’t able to go to high school. But I managed to pass the GED last year at 17yrs old.
Yup, the timing really SUCKS!!

So after receiving my ACT score, I decided that I want to raise my composite score by a couple of points. Are there any ACT prep books that are more effective than others?

I took the ACT today for the second time. The first time I took it, I got a 19. It was basically a practice to see what it was like..After taking it today, I feel like I did a lot better, except in the Math section..Math has never really been my strong point, mainly cause I never study it. Last time I took it I got a 17 in math, which is horrible, I know. This time I took it, I would like to think I did better than last time, but I did a lot of guessing and the last two columns I bubbled in " B " cause I ran out of time. Is "B" the right answer choice on the test?…I want to at least hope that I got a 20, that wouldn’t lower my composite score as much. What do ya’ll think?
