Will my ACT score ruin my chances at top ranked schools?

<p>Well my ACT math was a 31 and science a 27. I’m pretty sure i can do better. It’s just the other two sections of the ACT that really drop my score. As for the 800 in physics and 650 in math, i don’t think there is complicated math in the physics test. I was scoring 750+ in my practice exams for math2, i have no idea what happened. But i’ll pull off a 700 at least next time around. Any tips for studying the ACT english and writing? I have now till december to figure out how i can pick up those scores. Things such as how much to study per day or week and what would be really helpful.</p>
