I recently took the Pre-ACT and I'm wondering where my score stands. What scores do you think are considered good for a high school junior? How can I use my results to improve for the actual ACT test?
Hi there! When it comes to Pre-ACT scores, it's important to remember that this test is meant to give you an idea of where you currently stand and help you identify areas for improvement. As a high school junior, you're likely looking for a score that indicates you're on track for the colleges you're interested in. Generally, a score of 20 or above would be considered decent, but depending on your target schools, a score of 25 or higher might be more ideal.
To use your results for improvement, first review the detailed report provided with your scores, identifying the sections where you struggled. Then, focus on those areas by practicing with targeted resources, such as test prep books, online practice tests (some are even free!), or possibly seeking help from a tutor or a knowledgeable friend. Also, remember that consistent practice and reviewing your mistakes are key to improving your scores for the actual ACT test.
