I can’t answer anything for sure, but I got a 36 on English and can give you my advice. :)

I used this guide: https://actonlineprep.act.org/ePrep/browserInfo.do
It has all the subjects, but was helpful for me. It’s relatively short and I believe costs about $25.

I also read all the time, which has a great correlation with excellent English scores, but if you have a week, that won’t do you any good.

My suggestion is to try and find out which grammatical ideas are giving you the most trouble (sentence structure, rhetorical skills, etc.), and focus on those. By “focus” I mean not just practice problems, but take some time to actually understand and be able to apply each concept.

When you get to the test, just stay focused, trust your instinct and prep and don’t overthink the questions.

Honestly, a 23 to a 30+ is a large jump, and I wouldn’t count on finding a miracle score booster this week. It’s definitely possible though, just do your best!

I wish you the absolute best of luck! :)
