<p>I took the ACT in September and got a 27 (30E33M23R21S10E), and am taking them in this Saturday. Considering I spent too much time on a few grammar problems and had to guess on the last six I think I could get my English score up. I also think I spent too much time on one passage on the reading and had to guess on a passage that I could have figured out easily with more time. However, my science section has always been a 21 and my reading section has not gone up by that much lately. I would like to get at least a 28 composite and one of my schools I am applying to requires a 26 or above in each subsection. I really do not want to retake the test in December so if anybody have advice for the reading section or science section?
I have the red book, Princeton review book and the Barrons book. Which book would be most useful for the next upcoming week? Should I just keep practicing from the red book or actually review strategy?</p>
<p>Just get enough sleep between now and Saturday. Be confident. Skip the questions you identify as “time-wasters.” That’s the best way to proceed.</p>
<p>In the final week leading up to the test, you really shouldn’t be changing your test-taking strategy much.</p>
<p>My advice would be significantly different if you had more time to prepare.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
