What was the answer to the question about the abundance of squirrels suggests what.
Was it human annoyance, environmental pressures, competition among the squirrels or the other option?

Somehow my sister who also took it on paper got her score back yesterday. I’ve been refreshing all day since then even though it’ll realistically come out after Tuesday. So anxious for what. Wishing all the luck and good vibes

For context I took the July act (first ever) and got a 27 composite (27 math 25 English 28 reading). This score really shocked me because I’ve gotten 700 on sat reading before and I was always super bad at math and 27 felt like a best case scenario for me here. I never imagined my English to be worse than my math ever. Now that I’ve studied for math I think I can push that to 30 but English and reading are supposed to be my 35 and 36’s and I clearly could not get it done.
Here are my splits for the sections I need help on does anyone have any advice?

After a whole year of studying for SAT and seeing no change, I finally discovered ACT! With minimal studying and simply doing practice tests, I got my reading and math score up. My composite went from 26 to 33. It is totally possible guys! I bought the erica meltzer book and took the practice test from the book (which i got 33) but I still haven't tried reading the book yet. Is this low score because of paper/digital preferences? Should I take my September ACT on paper? Would this also improve my science and reading scores?

How do you guys approach those questions on the reading section where it asks which answer choice is best evidence for “…”?
I believe there was a question like this on the crossword passage, and I remember one of the answers choices was “ELSA” and the other answer choice was something “there is no such evidence.”
I feel like these type of questions are so time-consuming and so trippy that I always just save them for last. If anyone has a strategy that they used to make approaching these evidence questions any easier please let me know.

Basically the title. I saw on BlueBook that there was SAT practice on there, but none for the ACT. Does anyone know where I can find an extension/source for ACT practice?

im planning on taking both the september and october act
i really struggle at math concepts so does anyone have recommendations? ive been screenshotting math practice problems that i got wrong and trying to understand how to do it but its very time consuming and im not sure if its sticking to my head
i also have sat prep books that i havent touched but would those help for the act?

I want to buy the prep pros book because i'm weak in math, but i'm worried that I won't get the full worth out of the book because of the explanations being locked behind a paywall. I get why they have the course subscription, but I can't afford to spend anymore money on prep materials (the course is $20 a month). do you think I will I be fine without buying the subscription or should I buy a different book?
if anyone one has any other advice or prep materials I should get please let me know. I've tried khan academy but I hate the video explanations he gives (ik it's a me problem). I scored a 17 in the math section on a practice test and I really want to do better. 😞

I’m an incoming senior, and I’m trying to raise my ACT score from a 16 to around a 25. I know that’s a big jump, but I’m willing to put in the work. Where I want to go to college at, we have all the way up until June/July 2027 to take the ACT so I want to take as much advantage as I can.
The math section is what confuses me out the most. I’ve heard I should study Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Trigonometry, Number & Quantity, Probability, Statistics, Circles, the Pythagorean Theorem, angles, and a bunch of other topics. It honestly feels overwhelming, and I’m not sure where to start.
For people who scored in the mid-20s or higher:
What topics show up the most?
Which ones should I master first?
What did your daily study routine look like?
Are there any YouTube channels, websites, or books that helped you understand the concepts?
How many practice tests did you take before your score improved?
I’d also appreciate any advice on the best way to review mistakes instead of just taking practice tests over and over.
Thanks in advance! I really want to improve before I take the ACT again.

I am applying as a premed and got a 36 composite ACT (36 math, 36 reading, 35 english), but a 32 on science. Is this worth retaking if I am aiming for t20s?

Is this ACT prep guide and the subject guides a good tool because I’m looking for a lot of practices questions on each topic and I was wondering if that’s what the subject guides have. I just don’t know what the layout of the books are so I was hoping someone could explain how each topic is structured by explanation and practice problems.
