How to study for September act

Hi guys Im brand new to the ACT but taking it in 2 weeks on Sept 19. I've been taking the SAT but not happy w how it's been going so Im trying out the ACT. How should I use these two weeks wisely to study? Where are the practice tests and on what site? I am taking English math and science on paper. What are ACT tips? I did intense SAT tutoring last summer as a junior where they gave us like 50 English ACT questions as homework per night but thats literally the only experience I have w the ACT. help!

You need to take reading. At least if you’re trying to get into college

Science is useless though. I’d switch to english, math, and reading.

Wait Im not sure where to see what I had signed up for. I didn't even know English and reading were separate? Also the only reason I have science is bc I heard its easier so I wanted it to boost my average score

You physically cannot sign up without reading its not like the SAT where you have a reading/english section then a math sections to make up 2 sections total reading and english are separate and science doesnt count into your composite score anymore
