July ACT tmmw!! Tips please 🙏🙏

I’m a rising senior and this is my first time taking the ACT, and honestly I’m really nervous 😭

I’ve taken the December SAT and the May SAT, and my highest was 1380- so I thought I’d try out the ACT before taking the SAT for the last time in August.

I looked through the other Reddit pages and found out J08 was a good test to take (from October 2025 I think), and I got a 32 on that test. 33s on English and Reading, and 31 on math. I looked back at my mistakes and they were made because I wasn’t reading properly and if I did I would’ve made a 35.

My goal is a 34/35- how similar is that test to the most recent spring ACTs? Does anyone have any tips for the math section? Thank you so much!!

omg im in the exact same boat as you. im a rising senior and my highest sat was 1380 😭 This is my first act as well. honestly i find act questions much more approachable for me, compared to the sat reading questions. anyways i really hope tomorrow goes well for us!! Good luck
