<p>So I will be taking the ACT in a few weeks (I am registered for the December test date) and I realized I have no idea what I am doing. I took an official practice test and was rather unhappy with my score (I have a goal of scoring three points higher then the score on the practice test), I have tried drills online, flashcards and some practice tests, but I feel like this is not very effective. So basically does anybody have any study advice/suggestions for last minute preparation?</p>
<p>Continue to take practice exams. Treat each one as though it’s an official test - time yourself, isolate yourself in a quiet area, have a calculator and extra pencils at the ready, etc. </p>
<p>Also, many people find it beneficial to practice quickly skimming passages for important bits of information. This helps immensely on the science section - get used to interpreting graphs without the full context if you want to be able to answer every question within the allotted amount of time.</p>
