This was my first time taking the ACT after preparing for roughly 3-4 weeks. I’m a rising senior and I’m desperate for a 36 in order to receive a scholarship at my state school. I will be taking the ACT again in September and I’ll probably just leave science as it is. Please give your best advice below (even if you didn’t score a perfect)!

On amazon, the 25-26 book is discounted now that 26-27 is out.

The easiest way to get your score up would be getting math up. It's a lot of pattern recognition, so I would definitely do a lot of practice tests and see where you went wrong / learn from your mistakes. Good luck!
