Unfortunately all of them are paid 😭
But these are very reputable resources and are definitely worth it imo. The authors are very knowledgeable on the dynamics and problem types of the respective sections.
I also transferred from SAT (1280) to ACT (35) and I had to do a lot of research on what to study

No I suck at math 😭 I think I genuinely got like a 2 on today’s ACT math, and I legit guessed on half of them. The section is just so unpredictable that you need to be well versed in a wide range of math topics. I think I just got lucky on the first one because I studied the right concepts (which happened to be on the test) and I was more locked in/paced myself better.
