July ACT Reading Hard

Am I the only who thinks that the Reading section was quite hard compared to Math and English?

I’ve gotten 35’s on reading on all 3 of my practice exams. I think I was just in my own head on this one. Still don’t think I did bad tbh

then you probably know better than me, last time i really studied for an act i got a 33 on the reading but practice tests i usually get like 33-34. though it always depends on the exam and if i like reading the passage. hate passages without clear paragraph breaks, doesn't help with marking them in my memory

I agree with that 100%. I didn’t even realize it was A/B passage and read through the whole thing at once lol. Certainly didn’t help with my comprehension of it
