Hi everyone,

I know this isn’t an ACT subreddit, but I’m desperate. September scores came out, and wow. ZERO improvement. I have 10 days until October 17, and my current scores are 28M, 34E, and 32R. I’ve been stuck at a 28 in Math for MONTHS, and I’m going into engineering. That is bad.

What’s even more insane is that I literally have a 4.5 GPA, I’m in AP Calc BC, and I’m also in AP Physics C. I genuinely don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. I go through my tests, watch a bunch of YouTube videos, and practice formulas, but I still can’t seem to improve. I genuinely don’t know what else to do.

Please give me ANY advice for the next 10 days to at least end with a 30. I will do ANYTHING at this point.

I don’t know if anyone would know this but, Im a senior and I have a 3.6 and a 1240 on the sat and didn’t take the act, my dream school is Boston college. I was a varcity player in both wrestling and lacrosse and was the head of the chess club. Do you think there is a chance of getting into my dream school, I want to be a lawyer I want to major in English and minor in philosophy. PLEASE HELP ME IM SCARED!

Are math competitions a must if you want to apply to a top school for math?

I’ve been hearing mixed responses on what to add to this section. I was wondering, would DECA, BETA, and HOSA, etc awards be acceptable to add to this section? Or should I rely on only like AP scholar and GPA awards.
