<p>I'll cut to the chase.
First time, December 2013, 3 month prep.
31 english
32 math
33 reading
34 science
I'M AN IDIOT. The ACT is seriously just easy if you do practice tests.
Atleast 3 prep books. The REAL ACT book is the BEST book for practice tests.
Princeton, Kaplan (lots of tests), etc</p>
<p>Just practice test. Learn your mistakes. Move on. Easy.</p>
<p>English- if you learn to use the basic rules you will get a 30+. Commas, colons, semicolons, paragraphing, etc. </p>
<p>Math- again, basic stuff, 4/5 of the questions will be easy if you have done Alg, Alg2, trig, and precalc helps for the hard ones. It's ALL about getting the easy ones right. No silly mistakes. You can guess on the hard ones and move on. You can program apps and programs into your graphing calculators. USE IT.</p>
<p>Science and Reading: Time constraint is the only problem. Read the text quickly, make it so you don't have to read it over again to get the jist. Answer questions and quickly go back to the data/text where you think the answer is if you need. A lot of the times the answer is there staring at your face. </p>
<p>I'm sorry if this post sucks. But I'm bored. Why not. </p>
