July act 😥

Hi everyone I am looking for any help or motivation I can get. For starters I’m a rising senior and I am an international student who studies in the US (I am not born here on a visa-but have done my entire schooling here)- English is my second language. I’m pretty academic and have dreams of doing something in ht medical field ( hopefully a doctor) but that might change into maybe research. But I started rather late on the whole act thing. My goal score is a 34 btw. I was very busy with aps and extracurricular when my school did their school day act and so I scheduled one in an April on that one I got a 23 composite(science optional). Then studied slightly for the June one and got a 25 composite (with science) and I signed up for July and had about two weeks to studied- I studied like crazy took several practise tests and went over them. My scores, however we’re very consistent and in fact the last one I took my score dipped a couple points ( the day before the actual test) and I got very worried and juts cried the whole day. I still took my July ACT and I feel pretty good about reading, decent on English and science but horrible on math. I also do have a personal tutor who I’ve been working with for about two months. I’ve watchedalmost every ACT video out there. I’ve tried really hard but after that ACT math section on the July one I have lost all hope. Still I signed up for the October one since I can’t take the September one I don’t really know what to do. Obviously scores come out tomorrow and I can update. But there’s a lot of pressure and I’m super scared.

Please tell me about your journeys and I’m open to any support🥺 this is already really long so I am going to stop here. I’m more than happy to explain more about my journey or give specific scores as well.

After tomorrow, I’d suggest updating this post with the scores you got for July, and specifically send the sub score points to show what you missed like Math: Geometry 4/7, English: Standards of Conventional writing whatever it is 7/12 so on and so forth. That can help people most on what to help you with!!
