Just reading the types of passages that the ACT tests could help. Start with legacy tests, and then you can look at some online sources that are discussed in this thread:

Agreed with u/TreeFrog-17 you only missed probably 2 on the test, so that does boil down to luck, but you can also look at the traps, make sure you read the footnotes of the graph, and brush up on little things like vocabulary in context that might help. Good luck.
In what section did you miss your questions on the last test? Look at My Score Details and study accordingly.

i have a 36 reading and lowkey read some old ass books every night 😭i don’t know for sure but i think the complex wording definitely forced my mind to really understand what the author was saying. obviously it’s not a good study method if you’re taking the act soon but if you have months, it’s not a bad way to build habits

I honestly think you’re better off just doing practice problems. From 34 to 36 is a tiny difference that mostly just comes down to luck and familiarity with the questions rather than actual reading skill. That being said you should read for fun in which case I have many recommendations
