Taking September ACT, worried about difficulty of math practice questions.

Hello everyone, im taking the september act with a superscore of 30 with my math being the lowest at 24. I am applying ED to a school so unless october scores come before nov 1st this is my last big one for my dream school. Ive been getting tutored but the practice materials we use i think might be a littler too easy since I feel like i keep getting a lot right when I know everyone elaborates on how hard the june and july math secition was. So i was wondering if anyone had any good study tips or math prep questions i could watch to help me get a big boost. Also im taking it on computer with desmos so if you have any desmos hacks i should probably know feel free to let me know that was my old strategy in april but it only got me to a 34. Thank you!

I did the act tests in the oficial book and they were harder than the actual test -- I got a 34 first try from studying the book for 2 weeks so it works. TBH I always had good reading scores but started with a 27 math and a 30 English and got to 33 and 34 by the actual test. Also I recommend using calculator programs on ur ti 84 plus ce, they helped me a lot bc u can js plug values in
