that also could have been the first time he took the test. If he takes it again and makes a 29 then nobody will be talking about it.

or his school work could be a lot easier then most. I know thats how my high school was.

improving your ACT score 6 whole points would actually cause me to throw up more red flags.
I thought I did very well on my first ACT attempt, so I never bothered with a second test. Does anyone have testimonials or links (which would be even better) to show what an average improvement is by taking the ACT a second time?

With all the ACT yadda yadda aside, I would love to have this kid. It wouldn't bother me if Marlon Brown didn't come as long as we get this guy or Kelly.

Randle will be a LSU Tiger

guy goes to school in Henry county, down by Stockbridge, schools are extremely easy south of ATL, hope this kid is a Vol

That's kinda what I was thinking, too. I did really well the first time I took it, but decided to take it again anyways (because I really didn't prepare at all the first time), and actually did one point worse the second time when I prepared more. It's not really a test you can study for and it make a huge difference in your score.

I'm in the same boat as you, though, after preparing more the second time, I did 2 points better.

I see you finally ended up moving here to Dayton, how are you liking it so far?

the science is what screwed me, stupid graphs everywhere.

I studied for the second time and got 3 ponts better. Actually, i think that if you do 13% better the second time, they review the test and possibly make you take it again.

It is all graphs but at the same time, all you have to do is read the graphs, and use no knowledge whatsoever.

You do have to analyze them a bit. Reading them with no critical thinking gets you nowhere.

Wow, nice tangent on the ACT score.

A 23 is fine - it's a qualifying score. Secondly, people can be incredibly smart but horrible at standardized tests.
