CC’s own Xiggi has excellent advice for doing prep on your own. While these notes are for the SAT, the prep strategies work just as well for the ACT: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/68210-xiggis-sat-prep-advice.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/68210-xiggis-sat-prep-advice.html</a></p>
<p>If you have always had difficulty with standardized tests, and the results are always much lower than expected in comparison to your GPA, then you need to haul yourself down to your guidance office and talk with the people there about what this can mean. Three typical causes are: poor test-taking strategies, exam-induced anxiety, and previously un-identified dyslexia-type processing issues. Each of those has its own “fix”, and each of those is something that you want to get a handle on before you go to college.</p>
<p>Wishing you all the best.</p>
