<p>I took the ACT last June and got a 27 with a 10 on the writing. I'm taking it again this September, and I really hope I can get AT LEAST a 28, ideally a 30.</p>
<p>I took a practice test today and got <em>sigh</em> another 27!! This was with little to no studying before hand...</p>
<p>30 on english
24 on math
26 on reading
26 on science</p>
<p>And I don't practice the writing, only review strategies.</p>
<p>General tips? Advice? Time management strategies? I'm normally excellent at reading comprehension, but the time constraints are an issue for me...</p>
<p>For reading, I've found it best to read the questions, then look for the answers.</p>
<p>What I mean is, I would read the questions, then read a paragraph from the passage and answer all the questions I could. That normally takes me 7-9 minutes for each passage which gives me sufficient time to finish. </p>
<p>Math.. to me it's you either know it, or you don't. And if you don't, you practise. It's probably a little too late to practise now.</p>
<p>I need advice on the Science section.</p>
<p>And you seem to be well on your own with the English.</p>
<p>I screw up on the math, too. I got a 24 on my first practice test, and because I don't think I can magically learn all the stuff for the test--I've been working on guessing using what knowledge I DO know. Usually, for questions I have no clue how to solve, I can find one or two answers that are obviously VERY wrong. Then, I guess. </p>
<p>I've done much better. I guess my little piece of advice would be to try and remember to narrow down the math answers as much as possible...then answer. Don't just pick a letter for the sake of picking a letter (ala Princeton Review's advice...) :) Good luck.</p>
