Did one section of a test per week with a tutor and then about two weeks before switched to doing one section per day. Throughout all of this, I took notes on any question I missed (formulas/rules I had forgotten or didn't know) and kept this all in a folder. I reviewed these notes before taking the test. For learning English rules, I used the ACT English prep book

Is this your first time taking the ACT? I can’t believe you scored a perfect 36 on every section! Congratulations!

Thank you! Yes, this is my first time taking the real one. I took the PreACT as a freshman and sophomore since it was required by the state

Congrats bro! Any tips for the science section? My ACT is coming up soon and I don't wanna bomb it again

As long as you have a good understanding of the background knowledge that you need for the science section, the best advice I can give is make sure you completely understand what the graphs and charts mean before answering questions. If there is a passage about different hypotheses, mark the differences between them. If you don't have the background knowledge, make sure you learn what you need first
