I would do some of the practice tests untimed and really concentrate on the strategies and making sure you understand how to use them. I would also pay attention to identifying the types of questions (the ACT has very specific numbers of each type of question). That way when you score the test, you can see what types of questions you have problems with

After you have done all that and reviewed and worked on your weaknesses then I would do the tests full speed, that is in a timed manner. Time is your enemy and you have to learn to do the tests fast.

If you are using the practice tests in a manner similar to this you should expect to see your scores go up significantly with practice. Otherwise, you might see just a modest gain.

Of course, any practice is better than none, but focused practice is the best.

I knew a guy who didn’t practice and got a 32 on the first time out. I knew a guy who did practice and got a 17.

The chances are that the more you prepare, the better scores you will get. I cannot predict your score, but chances are you’ll do better than a 22. Don’t get overconfident and just learn how to relax and take the test well.

The key thing to remember is learn from the incorrect answers…think of what your logic was and how you can trouble shoot to make sure the mistake doesn’t happen again…

If you’re not learning from your mistakes you can take all the tests you want but you’ll be wasting your time and hurting yourself in the long run…

crank up the intensity of your studies on the weekend…and get a good night’s rest the day before…

best of luck…if you don’t like your score, work harder the next time…

train like a champion, they never achieve perfection but they always come close…

of course, this can only last for so long.

i would take as many tests as possible but don’t make yourself crazy over it.

its not worth it – believe me.

a 22 is good, im sure you can get it to at least a 24 if you’ve been practicing. proably higher
