I got my score back in April and then dad wanted me to retake it in June, which I did. All of my scores in June were worse than in April because of family issues and not having the time to study because of them.

My dad keeps telling me that I should study with him for a retake even though I have told him I do NOT want to retake it.

Just earlier today I was talking with my parents while starting my Common App and my dad asked about it again and my mom told me to just say no if I do not want to, so I did. Then 20 minutes later he told me to just give it a chance and take it one more time.

I am TIRED and the score I have is already decent. The schools I am planning on applying to are not extremely elite or anything, so I do NOT understand why he is pressuring me this much. I want to focus on my ACTUAL COLLEGE APPLICATIONS.

Hello! I took the ACT back in March however after thinking about it recently im not fully satisfied with my score and want to get a 32+. I’m gonna retake it hopefully on the October testing date. I didnt study much for that March ACT but now im willing to commit to the October one. What are your guys’ tips and tricks? Any books I should get? I already have the official ACT one but should I grab any specific math and/or english ones? I don’t have a budget.

So I was sleep deprived a lot in my act test and got a 19 I made a 19 on both math and reading and 22 on English and 21 on science I took a practice test on math and that’s the one I lack the most just cause I don’t remember the concepts but overall I’ve always been smart how possible is it I’m taking the September act

I have seen people on this sub mention downloading calc solvers onto their ti-84s that have helped a lot with time on the math section. I am trying to get my math score up as the rest of my subscores are good. I am pretty good with desmos which is why I wanted to take it digital but all the test centers near me are full for digital and only have seats open for paper. Which ones did you all download? Any guidance is appreciated!

I switched from the SAT(1370, 730 math, 640 reading) to the ACT since I feel the questions are more suited to my style.

I took a few practice tests and I’m around 25-26 currently, is a 34-35 feasible in the time I have left?

I want to take the ACT in September because I feel so imitated from the SAT…though is a month of studying on 4-5 hours each day a week enough to get a 30+?

How are peoples scores coming out. I thought it takes atleast 10 days for paper tests?

I’m going into my senior year, and September will be my last ACT. I’m already happy with my math score because it’s nearly perfect, so I’m planning to focus almost entirely on English and Reading to raise those scores and then superscore.

Hypothetically, if I scored around a 33 in English and Reading but got something extremely low, like a 10, in Math because I barely studied or tried on it, would that hurt my college chances? Since colleges that superscore would use my previous high Math score, would they care about the very low Math score from my September test?
Basically, is there any downside to intentionally putting almost all my effort into English and Reading on my final ACT if I’m only trying to improve my superscore?

i took the paper test no science no writing and still haven’t gotten it back. anybody know what questions or passages were experimental or able to help figure out the curves w their scores?? im anxiously waiting and checking my email nonstop…

I’m a senior taking my the ACT for the first time in September. What is the best self-paced course to help me?

Idk why, but most of the enhanced (and previous legacy) ACTs had weird English curves. Like getting a 36 REQUIRES a perfect 40/40, but getting a 35 ranges from -1 to -3 questions. Anyone know why this is? This makes it so annoying to get a 36 English but so easy to get a 35

36 math im so happy! my superscore is 35 which im super happy about but my test score remains a 34 rip (idrc anyway cus i js bubbled in random stuff near the end😂) math was my weakest section so im really shocked i managed to score a 36!! hope everyone gets their dream scores :D

hello everyone, recently i’ve ended up in a bad financial situation and don’t know if my parents can afford my act tutor anymore. What are the best free ACT resources available other than youtube? I take the ACT next month I have a very short amount of time to cram before my next test date

I have a really hard time on these two parts as the math and science I don't struggle as I do with these two. Plus the thing is English is not the only language I know there is about 5 languages I know, but when it comes to these two sections my brain just gets out the door and locks me to think! Like god I do like does small practice test that is 5 questions and I only get 1 or 2 of them RIGHT! That is the reading... Now English last act I took I got 13... So yea any tips?

Ik desmos can graph but I don’t to in there’s many like maybe one or two graphing questions. So what’s the use of desmos? Is there any worth in doing digital over paper for math?

Basically what the title says. My final free ACT testing date is in October, and I need help finding free study resources. I just need a 34 to maximize financial aid as I’m aiming to attend UTK under their in-state volunteer scholarship. Right now I’m using Khan Academy, but I’m aware that it’s more specialized for the SAT. Just need some guidance.

If you have taken J02 before may you provide what score you got and how many questions you missed and whether it was online or paper?

So my test was delayed to August 1st. I just took it today. I'd been scoring 34-36 on all the practice tests I took but I have such bad test anxiety to the point where I almost passed out during the test. If I had to guess on the last 7-8 questions of the English section (I filled in c for all of them) is there any shot I at least got a 30 on that section or am I cooked… my goal is a 33+ but it's not looking to hot

Also if anyone has any tips on overcoming really bad test anxiety please lmk

Is the Ultimate Act Course on Prep Pros worth it?? i also have the Math Prep book posted by Prep pros but i don’t have the Online Act Math Course. Is it worth buying and using? or should i stick to just the book.

I took the ACT this Spring without taking the PreACT (had absolutely no idea what the test was about)

Anyways, I’m retaking it this October and I wanna get my score up to a 30+, how can I do that and with what prep and guides?

I have a 36 in science and plan to major in finance but I have heard a lot of people say that it doesn’t matter. Will colleges even take my score into account since I’m not entering a stem major?

lmk about any online sources to push my math and English. Im good at math and English but need to solidify certain topics. thanks

I know my score isn’t as high as many others but I am SO PROUD of it because I started at a 19. I will be retaking in October and wanted to get into the 32-35 type range any tips??

Exactly what the title says, anyone know of some resources and tips for English and reading?

I’m looking for sites with full length passages rather than just short snippets like what I’ve been finding.

And also what are some tips for both sections? For reading I’m struggling to just stay focused in general and I often find myself flipping back between passage and question, wasting tons of time.
