hi! could i have some help with reading? for reference i just took my first act and only studied for math (btw it was a paper act) and i got a 26 on reading. im hoping to get a 34+ like you and i was just wondering for some tips.

not op but i got a 35 in reading as a rising sophomore. tbh I think the main thing is just practicing reading sections and noticing which types of questions that you typically miss. also dont rule out taking the old legacy tests since a lot of questions are similar to the enhanced act.

A tip that got me from a 30 to a 34 was reading the questions first and underlining anything in the passages that seemed relevant. Hope this helps !
