    I went from a 32 on my first ACT to getting a 34, 35, and 36 on the following practice ACTs (under realistic conditions of course). I'm hoping I can get at least a 34 on the one of Saturday to have a shot at selective schools!! Wish me luck!

      @@Zavendea sorry to burst your bubble, but the material tested in these tests are basically completely useless in the real world. And the worthiness of college is debatable. As stem is really the only profitable degree you can get, and schools don't do a good job of teaching stem subjects. (This is why jobs want experience even if you have the degree).
