<p>In applying for the Air Force Academy, I am going to retake the ACT in October. I have 2 hours a day, 3 days a week to study until then.</p>

<p>ANYWAYS, my math is my weakest score with a 26. I plan on taking the ACT to only improve my math. My goal is at least a 31 on it.</p>

<p>I'm doing alright right now. I've averaging a 30 on all my practice tests, untimed. And I'm getting faster because I recognize exactly what the questions are asking.</p>

<p>So, is it a good idea to be taking the ACT with the mindset of improving just ONE section?</p>

<p>Since math is second, should I not even try the english (I doubt I will improve what I already have)? That way I don't burn up my mental energy, or would it look bad if I was to submit an ACT with like an 18 english and a 31 math and whatever reading/science?</p>

<p>The AFA superscores. So does all my senators and congressman, who will be receiving my scores as well.</p>

<p>Any thoughts?</p>

<p>Try to improve every section as much as you can.</p>

<p>If you are happy with one section, dont focus too much on it but still look over it once in a while just so you dont lose it :P</p>

<p>Thanks. I’ll review a little, but my main focus is on math.</p>

<p>Since all the colleges I’m interested in superscore the ACT scores, do you think it would look bad if I was to get a low score on english, reading, and science, but do great on math?</p>

<p>That way when they superscore, I’ll end up with about a 32.</p>

<p>Is this method frowned upon by colleges, or do they not care how I get the scores?</p>
