    I found through searching that you get the best deal via scholarships with the 29-30 ACT score range and above. If you are looking to go to a tougher college, say UW-Madison, you want a higher score. But if you are looking for an easier school... anything above a 20 should be fine. I;d recommend buying a practice book as the online test was a complete waste of money for me.

    Well as with any test you want to get the highest score possible. With an ACT test that would be a 36. Anything over a 30 is great. Anything under a 20 is bad. In general-a 24 would get you in to most colleges, a 28 would get you into most upper tier colleges.

    remember taking the real test is a lot different than the practice test. You are up early on a Saturday morning taking a test for four hours. That alone can change your score from your practice score.
