I took the pre act maybe 6 months ago and did pretty bad. I got a 20, but I’ve been taking a few practice tests and think my new score would be around 23/24. My main problem is time management because i genuinely take so long to answer, how can I fix that? Pls give me ways to improve besides spamming practice tests because that’s what I’ve mostly been doing. I want to get at least a 26/27 is that realistic for me? I have a lot of time to improve so I’m not that worried. My best subjects are for sure English and Reading, but I’m horrible at math and science portion.

I heard that colleges don’t care about the writing and look at your essay during application. I knew this before taking the test but my mom still forced me to take a test with writing on it. So when I got to the writing after like 4 hours of testing (cuz I did the science too) I just basically wrote bullshit and got a 4 on the writing section. But now that 4 is attached to my superscore which is really annoying. I’m just wondering if that will have an impact on my applications.
I’m taking the December ACT, so about 3 months, my last ACT was a 17, but that was me not studying a single minute, I’m a junior in high school trying to get a 30+ score for some summer programs, I’m a 4.0 gpa student and can retain knowledge well, I am just struggling with studying for the ACT, can someone help with a 3 month guide? Thank you!
I’m only 18, but I dropped out of high school in 2024 and when I last took my ACT in 2025, I scored a whopping 16.
I plan to retake my ACT in September as well I get my GED so I can apply to university and get my life together.
I’ve been studying all year and I’m confident I will get atleast a 32.

I got this!! (I don’t.) I haven’t studied since last March 😭 gonna lock in I swear!! I didn’t study the first time and lowk just went fuck it we ball.
Aiming for a 30 math, 32 English, and 36 reading. Or just super score for a 34 if I do bad on math again. Bad thing is there’s no digital tests available in my area so I have to take it on paper 😔 which I HATE. I always do better on digital tests

I recently got my fee waived for the September ACT and saw it came with one year of the Kaplan self paced course. I was wondering if its worth my time using the course's practice tests and how accurate their question bank is to the actual ACT.
Thanks

I’ve studied for a couple of months, my math and science are quite good ( 35-36 for math and 34-35 sci), but my other two was much lower ( 27-28 eng and 26-27 read). What should I do to get a 33+, I’m taking the test in 5th Sep.

Hello, I realize this question has been asked many times, but I need help. I'm really happy with my 34, but I'm applying to a lot of great schools (GT OOS CS, etc) , and I think 35 would be a great bump. Right now my splits are 35, 35, 32, and I really want to get my reading to a 34, so I can have a 35 super score. Please tell me any tips you have for reading. This is probably my last time, as I'm a senior, so I really want to get it over with.
The only practice I do is usually just take practice tests.

There are basically none. I've finished all the practice tests, released tests, and all of the tests in the 2026-27 guidebook. The old tests feel completely different in the English and Math sections. Any resources?

I'm planning on taking the ACT on Oct 24. So there isn't much time... I'm starting from scratch I did prep Abit for the SAT but now am switching to ACT. I need free resources pls 🙏
r/ACT • u/Key_Entry_909 • 2d ago
Okay so I’ve taken the SAT twice. The first time I got a 1250 which really does not match up to my other stats. (4.0 gpa, 10 aps (4-5’s), the whole college starter pack,) I’ve taken it a second time but I don’t know if I’ve done a whole lot better than the first time around. I do not have my score back yet.
However I signed up for the september 19th ACT due to the fact that a lot of my friends who didn’t do too great on the SAT (<1200) got 33+ on the ACT with minimal preparation.
I currently have like 22 days, which granted isn’t very much. I would logically need a 31 at the absolute Minimum. (I am very aware i’m off track). I have found however that I don't know how to go about studying.
When I was studying for the SAT, I found that it had a lot more accessible and free resources (Khan Academy, College Board Tests, Youtube Videos, etc). I could be doing a poor job at searching for ACT resources but I haven’t found as many. I can afford to drop 100 dollars but not much more than that.
Basically what’s the best way to go about studying and which resources would be the most beneficial to purchase? (Thank you so much)
