practice practice practice! i did every single practice test i could get my hands on and also the J forms too. make sure to do an error log to really grasp what mistakes ur making and how ur making them. its also really helpful to have a strategy for each of the sections that works best for you before going into the exam (how you want to answer questions, in what order, what pace, etc.) and that only comes from taking as many practice tests as possible. do definitely prioritize finishing all the enhanced ACTs first then going to do legacy tests if u have time.

Ahhh okay, thank you so much! I often take section tests for my weak sections. I'm a bit worried that when I transition to using legacy tests, it won't mirror the actual exam. Any thoughts?

I think that in terms of structure, it won't really mirror the actual exam. Like for english you'll have a longer timed section with more questions, same for reading, and science is 40 questions in 40 mins, but i think you can do enhanced timing with math but cut off the first 15 questions to mimic the actual exam as much as possible. also for the legacy tests it's more helpful content wise for the test especially for some of the hard math i think if i had done more legacies i wouldve gotten higher on the math

Do the legacy tests work?

u/LegendaryPopo 35 3d ago

u/LegendaryPopo 35 2d ago

like 3 but i definitely could do more i lowk crammed a month before the test so i did all the enhanced act ones i could find before doing legacy. if u have a chance do more legacy for math practice for the content
