Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise. I will probably take the October one too 'cause this one was hard for me.

I swear to god I’m not letting the reading section get me again in October.

Pray for everyone who just took it this morning; pray for everyone who’s planning on taking it October >:D<

@Android1234 for most schools Dec ACT is fine, just double check with the schools on your list. For Fall athletes, this is the best time to test.

Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Boston College

15

I will be happy with a 30 or higher…
It’s my first act for real! :confused: any tips?
Thanks in advance

@hpcool11 For math, you will want to be done with the first 40 questions after 30 minutes. For reading, give yourself 10 minutes for the double passage and 8 for everything else. English timing isn’t an issue, but with science timing is dealt with differently by everyone, so maybe take a practice science section.

I’m a junior and I’m taking the ACT for the first time in October… I’m so nervous :-SS

@TheFutureDoc16 Me too! Well, not exactly. I took my first ACT September and didn’t think it was so bad. I was just surprised by the difficulty of the math section and the new revamped format of the essay. A little nervousness is good but excessive nervousness can hinder your test performance. I recommend meditating before the test, like I did. :slight_smile:

No seat available for the October session as well. Off to the December session now :’(
I’m better off If I retake the SAT instead.

@heretohelp What should I do? Take the SAT 2 - November and ACT - December
OR
Take SAT 1 - November and January
OR
Take SAT 1 - November and SAT 2 - January?
