<p>Hey guys. I am taking the ACT on September 8th and Im freaking out a bit. I was wondering what is the best way to study to get a 30+ in one week?</p>
<p>I have the red book and the barrons 36. I have taken 1 practice test and got a 30 (31,33,29,27). I dont know what other books are really helpful? Or if I should be taking a lot of practice tests? I dont really take too many fully, mostly sections at a time because I dont realy have time with sports school and work.</p>
<p>Also, I have the hardest time in Science and Reading mostly because I rush and tend to make silly mistakes.</p>
<p>I am also wondering if anybody has used the sparknotes tips and have found them useful?</p>
<p>Take practice tests under timed conditions.</p>
<p>Princeton review and the the red book are awesome but I just took one practice test a day for like 6 days before my first take (33) and then I just took one the night/morning before my 2nd take (36)</p>
<p>I always take my tests under time limits. I feel like I do better when I do. It forces me to focus on the details and not get bogged down on the random crap</p>
