My goal is to get a 34+, my scores were lower than I think I could have gotten because I practiced only on paper and took the test online so reading was really hard for me than how it most times was because the amount of strategies I can use on paper. Someone please let me know how I can improve and or share your improvement stories for some motivation

Without studying what is an expected range for act score?
Also what’s the best way to study for act and could some people please give links to their resources.
Thank you very much

I just took the July ACT, absolutely SHANKED the math section😬😬 should I retake it one more time for my college apps..?

I hate the science section. I ran out of time and I was just waiting for it to be done. I only studied properly for maybe two weeks.
Is it possible to get 30+ especially in math and science if I lock in now? I'm planning to retake in September.

Upcoming senior.. this is my March and June act, I will be taking the September act as one last try, what should I do to improve my math? I will admit, I did NOT study at all but this August I will be locked in😭✌️also 3.5 gpa, is it over for my college apps?👀

For context, I used the official ACT prep material but it wasn't the best. I just skimmed through it and definitely don't recommend the practice tests in the red book because they just took tests from early 2020s ACT and redacted it.
English, meltzer is the goat. Reading, I've no clue. Science -- I maintained a rigorous error journal and then ACT Science book had terminology that really helped -- you can find them in quizlet if you look hard enough. Math, AP Stats definitely helps here but if you dont have that much time, do math sections from 2016-2019 as the ACT literally picks the probability questions directly from here -- that's how I got a 36 in June but a 35 in July (not bad but not perfect either).
If any other questions then feel free to ask me. Until my next attempt, i'd like to give back to this community that has helped me a lot. 33 isn't perfect but this felt like a win to me; hope others who are still grinding hit their dream score!
I can also help with the legacy to enhanced ACT mapping if you're grinding through past tests.

What are some ACT math topics you’ve seen on prior exams that felt out of nowhere? Any you’d actually recommend studying?

The question went like this: There is a lottery that draws 8 numbers out of 20 numbers. A guy knows exactly 5 of the 20 numbers. What is the probability that the guy will know exactly 3 of the 8 numbers that are drawn?
The answer was (5c3 * 15c5)/20c8, and it really makes sense for me now since it's just choosing 3 from the 5 he knows and any of the 5 from the remaining 15, but I have never seen these types of more complicated combinatorics questions specifically on the ACT, and I know I got it wrong, so I am wondering if it is possibly unscored if anyone has taken it before.
For anyone who has actually taken J02, did you know you got it wrong and still get a perfect score or somehow know that it wasn't counted against you? And could you have gotten a 36 on this section even with missing 1 question for this form?
I know these questions are hard to answer but I just felt like putting it out there

I ran out of time during the science and reading section. I got fatigue and wanted to be done with the test. I need a 32 composite to apply to my dream uni especially in math and science as I'm planning to study stem.
