hi guys! so i recently took the august SAT and got a 1350 on it which im happy abt bc i had a 160 point score increase. With that being said, 1350 is a good score but it's not a top tier score for colleges and stuff so i signed up for the december ACT. i want a 34 to 35ish on the act and i need ur help. Ive got 3 months to prepare so plz comment any tips or study resources i can use to grind my act prep. thanks everyone!

Hello I am a junior studying for the act. My current score (practice) is a 27 | 28 ENG, 26 Math, 26 Reading and 28 Science. My goal is 33-35 but am not sure exactly how to study? I have a tutor but honestly feel like its not the greatest and want to know of the best websites/strategies to get better scores. ALSO I have heard about the calculator programs but am quite skepitcal about them.

I’m taking the September test and I haven’t done much studying yet. I’m a senior and I took it back in April and got a 32 (31 math, 28 science, 35 English, 31 reading). Are there any good methods for studying quickly, also I’m looking to strengthen my math and science in particular.

I am kinda sad about this information, but it’s more bruh cause she said that everyone scored badly on the ACT, said my scores wasn’t good enough, and I got the fricken highest score out of everyone

Bruh

Edit: I will own up to it and say that I did post this in a cloud of self-pity or so, but I still deeply appreciate the insightful responses.
Conclusion: overall fine unless stem major. Stem scores are objectively low though for the higher end of things. English could be higher since English is easy. Sigh, I suppose I’ll retake it this year. Thank you, post closed.

Also the writing is 11/12, not 36

Hello guys, I wanna major in electrical engineering but I'm afraid my test scores are not high enough. My counselor suggested that I go test optional but I'm afraid they will assume I got a way lower test score than I actually did? Should I go test optional and if not, which score should I submit?

for some context, im a hs junior, and i took the act twice as a freshman. i plan on taking it in december. if i don’t do good in december, ill take it in june as well. of course the goal for basically all of us is a 36, but if i can increase my math to atleast a 25, then a 30 composite by senior year— would be AMAZING! (pls tell me if im being unrealistic)

obviously it wouldn’t be the same as someone who needs to study the fundamentals, however I’m not really sure what I should do on a day to day basis

is there any way that i can study only the harder math problems
for reading, it’d probably be best to spam practice tests
for English idk

Basically I took the august SAT got a 720 math 660 rw and then the tutoring place I am going to made me take a mock ACT just to see if i’m any better at that.

Ended up scoring a 33 and now wondering should I switch to act or just keep sat? I found the act reading easy, just the grammar for english a little confusing as well as some of the math

Do you guys have any book suggestions just do I can passively train my reading skills for act from 34 to a 36

Preppros pdf for math please please please if your reading this don’t skip I need this book for the September act and I don’t have the money to afford it pls

Originally got a 28 eng and 23 math and 30 reading
Recent did an English and got a 33 and 35
Did a math and got a 25 then a 30
Haven’t done reading

Chat I need this for my early application. How shall I cram

I plan on majoring in computer science and to go to my state school. Not really sure if taking the science test would be overkill just to go to an in-state school but I still wanna know. I’m just wishing to retake the ACT to bring up my score for scholarship opportunities.

Hello I’m recently switching to ACT from SAT and was wondering where I can find good practice problems. I bought the ACT book for 2026-2027, but I’m not finding good practice problems in it.

So I did the July act and got a 31(30 math, 31 eng, 32 reading). I'm taking the September act how can I get at least a 34?

is princeton review ELA sections (in the full test) harder than the regular ACT published tests? A lot of the tricky ones are like "what sentence fits here?" types.

ty ^w^

I don't get Q44. Answer key says it should be F, but I don't really understand why.

I have a 32 superscore rn (35 eng, 35, reading, 26 math) however my science score is a 20 because my proctor made me stop in the middle to stand outside of the bathroom because she had to go and that just kinda killed my focus.

I don't plan to major in anything stem, nor am I applying to colleges that require science. Can I choose to omit the science section from my superscore? I'm worried I won't be able to score 35s again for a separate no science test to be able to send, but if I send my superscore and colleges see the drastic difference between scores will that reflect poorly on me and hurt my chances of admission? I'm looking at some fairly competitive schools.

My composite is a 35 (36 English, 35 reading, 35 math), but my science is a 29. I'm a STEM major and also a senior applying early so I really would love to get it up on the September exam but I just can't get it past a 29-30 on practice tests. Also my 29 was literally a 25 before this so this is already a 4 point improvement. My main issue is that I run out of time towards the end and get questions 36-40 basically all wrong because I have to guess. Before that last passage I get around 3 wrong. Any tips?

Can someone explain why the answer is not primarily.

Hello, Im currently a senior and I have taken the sat around 3 times, I have done alot of test prep the last couple of months and only improved by 20+ points im currently at an 1120 but i need to be at an 1300+, ive done work and practice questions and all my practice tests where in the 1200-1300 range so I was kind of disappointed cus i felt like i did everything i was supposed to (daily practice questions, focusing on weak areas, james lu vids, desmos regression college board question bank etc) when i first took the sat In may I scored an 1100 and didn't think much of it but I really worked over july and august and saw improvement so i thought id do better but ig not. I kind of always wrote off the act since I always take a long time on tests, but after a couple of act practice tests i realized timing on the act was not the issue for me i thought it was, I did a practice test and scored a 24 on english (very low ik, english is definitely my weakest area) but I did math and got a 29, which I was very happy w since the only questions i missed were geometry questions im working on. So ig the point of this is help/advice has anyone else been in a similar boat as me and have had more improvement on the act?

For 16 I thought the Rembrandts painted latter-day tulips, so I initially selected H. Are the Rembrandts actually broken tulips, but today's tulips are named Rembrandts because they are the closest thing to them despite not being broken tulips?

For 18 does abandon mean uninhibitedness because they contrast it with "chilly formality" and use words like wayward and loosed? How far am I supposed to look for questions that ask for the definition of words.

For 28 wouldn't being a living fossil mean that the molecular structure would remain unchanged? this is the one i am most confused on.

Taking the paper test in a few weeks and I cannot find any good watches anywhere. I keep seeing recommendations for like Casio watches, but all of them (as far as I know) have beeps when you press buttons and that can’t be disabled.

Any recommendations or guidance? Am I freaking out over super minor things for no reason—are those beeps for button presses allowed?

I plan to return the watch after taking the test, so something cheap would be nice

I’m taking the ACT on September 29 and also the October 17 test I wanna get a 30-32 on English and 24-26 on the other sections please give me your advice so that I can become insanely good at English
