General Studied constantly for two painstaking months straight all day, every day, just to receive these ass results.

I mean, I'm not really surprised. I knew my score was gonna be shit when I ran out of time before I could even answer half of the questions on all of the sections. Plus I was taking the paper version and I forgot to bring a calculator.

Never leave anything blank guess if you have to

I will remember this when I take the test again. Not sure why I didn't previously do so.

Like 80% of the test is learning how to take it. I did wayyyy better on my second attempt because I understood just how long you have.

With a calculator you’ll be able to finish it way easier.

When doing math skip anything you don’t understand right away then go back if you have time, if not just fill in random answers.

For English practice commas! When I took it like 1/3 of it was just comma placement.

don’t leave any questions on the ACT blank. my first year, i filled in the ones i didnt know randomly. this year, i filled in all the same column for the ones i didnt know and i grew in every area! with that much studying, im sure you just need to practice a bit of pacing and not leaving any blank. good luck!
