<p>K, so. I have taken the SATs once. I scored in the 400s... I have taken the ACTs 3 times. The last two I took got like 18-22 in math, English, and Science, and 14 in reading. I just really really really stink at going fast. I can never ever finish any of the sections in time. EVER! I am not stupid at all. I am actually a very very very smart guy. I have mostly all As and Bs. This is ridiculous! Why on earth are these test timed!?! I just need to score a decent score on the ACT or SATs test. I am in college and I am dying to get into the Air Force Academy. These test are the only thing that is holding me back. I really need advice on how to get faster on these test. I have looked for ACT classes but could not find any. I feel that I need to be placed in a class where I will be given a lot of homework on these test. I have no idea where to find these classes. I have looked at the community colleges around where I live and can not find any...I really need help. My application deadline is approaching very fast... Anyways...If someone can give me a little advice and tell me where a good plsce is to find SAT and ACT classes are would be good. </p>
<p>Thanks,

<p>I don't have a suggested place to look for ACT help, but my friend got help at a Kaplan tutor session thingy. Try their site.</p>
<p>Have you tried using the study prep books? ACT Real Guide... Princeton Review? Those are really helpful in giving you practice before taking the real thing.</p>
<p>Have you thought about online tutoring? I don't know if there are any placs out there like that but you could try. Or maybe look at Sylvan or Huntington Learning centers in your area (if you have them). I think they do ACT/SAT tutoring there.</p>
<p>If that doesn't work then I suggest getting practice tests and other ACT help books. If you know the material then you just have to get your timing down. If you don't know the question or can't figure it out in 30 seconds, guess and move on so that you'll have time for the questions you DO know. Then, at the end of the test (if you have time), you can go back and look at those questions that were a little trickier. Sometimes, after coming back to it, the question looks 10 times easier than before.</p>
<p>Good luck and I hope everything works out for you!</p>
<p>The ACT for Dummies book is loaded with practical testing tips and humor to help retention of material. ACT for Dummies is a good supplement to The Real ACT book.</p>
<p>If you have a diagnosed learning disability like dyslexia or attention deficit disorder, you can apply for extended time testing from ACT. To apply for extending time testing, you must go to your highschool counselor for a ACT packet and a pink form for ACT Extended Time National Testing.</p>
