I'm sick of the ACTs

Test Preparation
1

<p>Every time I take the ACTs, I come out thinking I did great, with the exception of one section which I bomb, because I'm tired. </p>

<p>Then the results come...</p>

<p>All the scores are less than expected. My scores aren't consistant from test to test, one test a section may be my highest-scoring-section, the next my lowest. </p>

<p>When I get the TIR back, I realize how many dumb mistakes I made, and that I really understood all material, just carelessness hurt my score.</p>

<p>Anyone else experience this wonderful phenomenon?</p>

<p>Is it because I'm not mentally ready for the test or something?</p>

<p>Am I the only who does not manage to keep concentrating for the entire test and loses conciousness on the last 2 sections?</p>

<p>And how do you get higher than an 8 on the writing section?</p>

<p>Can anyone help me?</p>

<p>I'm a rising junior, if it matters.</p>

<p>as for the writing section, look at the examples of a 6 essay printed in the ACT student guide book that you can pick up at your school. use a counter argument, several reasons for your position, etc.</p>
