This is my second time taking the ACT. It didn’t feel any easier than last time, but I think I did better overall.

English: This is my strong point, and I feel confident I got a 33+. Pretty average
Math: The first half was simple as always, but I always do poorly on the second half. I had to guess on many of them. This could really bring my composite score down. Felt much more difficult than usual.
Reading: Not too bad. I usually work backwards on this test because it tends to be the easiest order for me, but the film passage was a little difficult. Just my opinion.
Science: Most of the passages were OK, but the DNA one was especially challenging. When I looked over the diagrams, it wasn’t so bad. I ran out of time though with 2 questions left.
