<p>I got a 26 in math and a 29 in english. Seriously? I knew I did bad but damn. i got a 27 in english in the seventh grade. I did get a 35 in reading and science so that's okay. I think I'm going to spend the rest of my summer doing math problems. Does anyone have any tips for math and english?</p>
<p>I’m suffering from ACT depression too 
i’m the opposite though. my greatest scores were in math and english, and my WORST were in reading and science.
I did SOOO bad on science, it’s not even funny. 
ASDFASDFASDF. <em>sigh</em></p>
<p>Almost… how they freak do you score 35’s in Science and reading? I can help you in English and Math (pretty sure I can get a 34-35 in English, but so far a 33, math is 36) if you help me improve my science and reading scores.</p>
<p>I do. English the main thing is to know punctuation rules. For math you just need a general background on geometry and algebra II. Get a prep book (I used princeton 1296 problem book) and get cracking. I think I did a total of 13 practice tests before the real deal.
Hope this could help. </p>
<p>As for Reading/Science
These two sections are based on timing. They aren’t particularly hard but stupid mistakes are easy. For the Reading section comprehension is a good skill, one I don’t have. Just practice and get the timing down.
Science - it is easy to make stupid mistakes. Also don’t bother reading the passages (except for competing scientists) because it’s usually a waste of time. Once again doing tons of practice will help you get timing down. I had 4 minutes left in the science section to check my answers.</p>
<p>Reading and Science are pretty similar. What I do is I don’t read the passage at the beginning and I go straight to the questions. Find the questions that refer you to a certain line or paragraph and answer those first. By the time you finish these questions you should have a pretty good understanding of the passage/experiment,what is going on, and where the answers to the other questions are so the rest of the questions are easier and you didn’t waste time reading it over and over. Doing this I usually have about 4-6 minutes to check my work in reading (which probably wasn’t a good idea because the one question I changed I’m pretty sure was the one that I got wrong) and 2-3 minutes in the science section. The only section where time is really a problem for me is math.</p>
