I am taking the october 22nd act with the goal of making +30 from my previous 25. I improved ACT English to 30-34 and ACT Reading to 28+ from low 20s. I always made around 27-28 on the real ACT Math and made 30-32 on 3 practice test but i currently AP CAL BC and barely remember any Geometry ( I am still familiar with Algebra 1 and 2 though). Plus sometimes there isn’t specific stuff on Test day like complex numbers, matrices, etc (but i can’t rely on luck). For Science i haven’t practiced and i made 24-26 on actual test thinking that i could make 31s. I understand graphs and charts but maybe i have to be more carefulwith my answer choices or i need to be more focused idk. Any suggestions or strategies for me? THX in advance
try to do between 10 and 15 practice tests before your next real one as that seems to be the magic number, for me atleast. I jumped up from a 26 to a 33 in math just because I did repetitive practicing, etc.
ill try timing it with a stop watch to see how long it takes me to find all answers. Good suggestion btw, thx
I think taking practice tests timed is important, but reviewing is much more important than just taking practice tests. (Btw, if you have a timing issue for math and science, i think you should set the time 5 minutes before the actual time allotted, ex. 60 min for math --> 55 min to solve math). this is how i improved my science score. And for reviewing, i think the best way to really know if you get the concept is if you have younger siblings, try teaching the missed math problem to them, and see if they clearly understand your logic.
