I sometimes feel so unconfident when doing act practice tests (for reading section) and am rushing to barely finish reading in time - i get 40/40 - even though i feel like i didnt do so good.

i keep taking practice tests but my scores are always a 26 and never changing. any tips to improve to a 34?

I’ve been solving English tests every day for the past month. At the beginning of the month, I was scoring 15, but after a week of studying, my score improved to 20, and I’ve been consistently scoring 20 for the past three weeks. This doesn’t seem normal to me, so I have a few questions I struggle with time management while solving the tests. What tips can help me improve my speed without sacrificing accuracy? Besides time management, what other areas should I work on to further improve my performance?

i’ve quickly improved from my 9th grade preact 29 to getting mostly 34’s and some 35s, but how do I perfect it and get it up to 36 exactly

basically the title. I have had no improvement in math besides getting 25 —> 28. I always consistently score 28 despite grading my work and then searching examples to do more practice with. am I just dumb? I’ve taken around 10+ math sections and the highest I’ve ever gotten is 29. struggling to get motivation to study math if I’m never going to improve. any tips? ☹️ I just really want to surpass 30 but just can’t

What would be the quickest way to solve these type of questions.

Ex. If you multiply two integers together and then add 4, the result is 40. Which of the following could NOT be the sum of the two numbers?

F.23

G.13

H.15

I.18

J.20

I don’t have a whole lot of time and I’ve been struggling a lot trying to manage studying for the ACT while having Seminars and essays to do in my classes.

Please help advise on to me the sauce and management tips 😭 🙏🏽

I don't think I have ever studied, how am I supposed to study for the ACT? I see so many people goung to places to practice and learn, but I have to study at home. Whats the best way I can study? I have real bad memory.

My son has been approved for triple time (over multiple days) for the ACT. He'll take it in school first in April, but I'd like to sign him up for another date in the summer in case the first doesn't go well. How do weekend testing centers handle accommodations such as these? Anyone have any experience with this?

I finished all the tests on the red book and I moved to the online ones since my test will be online (but this program doesn’t even allow me to do a full timed test I need to answer and submit immediately) but after the remake of Wiley - they substituted my 3 act tests online to the “Act for dummies “, but it’s so bad at least for math even the online test, the scoring is so badddd, should I keep doing this or go to the 2 official tests paper test?

whats the difference between the SAT and ACT? I got 700 in the SAT math and 550 in the SAT R&W when I did a practice test without prep. My sister tells me the ACT is more straightforward/logical but I feel like theres way less resources online for the ACT in comparison to the SAT. Plus, the ACT have announced its going digital but theres absolutely no walkthroughs, videos, or resources on it so I dont want to go into it blidnly either

How do I improve my pre-ACT Score (composite was a 24) for the actual ACT, these are my subscores: Math: 22 Science: 24 Reading: 29 English: 22 I would like to score between 27-29 in April, and I've improved my score the last time which was a 19 composite score. I'll probably have to focus on Math and English the most tho... Please help!

Helppp

Hi, sorry if the title is not as specific. I am going to take this Saturday’s ACT with the sole purpose of raising my reading/science scores. I currently have a 33 composite (34E 35M 33R 30S) and I have only been reviewing/studying reading and science. My issue with science isn’t that I don’t understand as every single practice I take, I get 35 or 36 consistently. My issue on test day is the fact that it’s the last section and I am tired or I am stressed out from the reading section that I took right before. So for my question, I wanted to know what your opinion would be for Saturday. Should I bother preparing for english or math, or just focus on reading and science? On the test day, should I not waste “brain power” on the first two sections and just circle and move on from something tricky? Thanks, sorry if I wasn’t as clear

should i just go to sleep during the math section this saturday? i have a 32 in math and i am only aiming for a higher superscore, and i wonder if sleeping will help me get my energy back up for the reading and science sections.

Im taking the ACT this Saturday and I feel like sometimes I just struggle with comprehending the passages. It wastes time when I have to go back just to answer a simple question because I didn't understand the first time reading it. I am good with answering the questions, but this comprehension problem doesn't allow me to finish all the questions resulting in me always getting the last 3 wrong. I really want to break my 34 barrier and reach 35 in this week. Does anyone have any tips?

Hey Guys! My ACT is in a week. I've been doing good getting 34, 35 in math reading and science but English is till ahrd for me. However i try im not going above 24. I'm getting confused on which option to pick. All of them seem right for some questions and i end up getting them wrong. How do I fix this? I only have a week left. Please HELP!

I’m a high school junior and ACTs are in 2 months. I don’t have the discipline to open it. It’s a really thick book and I feel like that demotivates me. I really care about my future and I procrastinate a lot. Is there anything I should do or any tips that can help?

I take a very long time in understanding the science section questions and take even longer time to take the information out of the given passage, so can anyone tell me the solution to this problem will be much appreciated.

My first ever science exam was in the last trial itself and I scored a 20. Since then I haven’t been able to score higher in science, and I don’t know why. If anyone has tips to maximize science scores, I would really appreciate it.

Hi, So I have a HS Junior. I know almost nothing about the ACTs.

Is the writing part typical? Do most people take it or not?

My DS is looking at upper tier schools if that matters at all.

Sometimes I'm just to tired to study but still feel like studying so I usally find some video online of ACT. Are there any video suggestions from you guys or channels?

Hey everyone, I'm currently a high school junior and I'm taking the ACT for the first time next Saturday. My school administers the pre-ACT to all students and last year as a sophomore I got a 34 composite. Will this score translate accurately to the actual test? I know that like the SAT, the pretest contains less challenging content than the normal version, so what topics specifically should I study to make sure I still get a comparable score?

I took a practice test recently and scored a 21. For a scholarship I need to get a 25 or higher. I did pretty well on the science and reading, getting a 27 for reading and 23 for science. But for the math and English I did trouble scoring both 18. I believe it’s cause I was close to running out of time half way and I had to guess the rest. Is there anything thing I could do to hopefully improve this?

I really struggle with finishing the science section and it’s really bringing my score down. I get around 31/40 correct because I barely even touch the last passage. On top of missing a couple questions on previous passages. I really need at least a 30 on science, does anyone have any tips? My test is February 9th so I have a week to work on strategies.

I signed up to take the ACT on February 9th, 2025, on paper. This is what the MYACT dashboard says, but when I go online to "upcoming test dates" only the 8th shows up. I'm super confused did I do something wrong?

idk i've been searching everywhere for practice tests. i like how collegeboard has their own app full of practice tests but the act doesn't have that

I have been taking the act practice math sections in the books that i have. They are both from the official act. One is the small sectional book and one is the big main book. In the small book i did the practice questions in the back and timed to 60 and got a 33, then i did the practice math in the big book and got a 26. Is the big on harder?
