Fluctuating ACT scores?

Hi all! I decided to hardcore grind out 2 full ACT practice tests today, and I just wanted to give you a brief history of mah ACT life, haha. I’ve done about 5 practice tests so far?

In the morning (form from December 2012):
Composite: 29
English: 32
Math: 33
Reading: 22
Science: 29

This afternoon (form from April 2012):
Composite: 33
English: 33
Math: 33
Reading: 31
Science: 34

I’ve been hovering around 30-31 composite with my past ones, but I’ve scored around 34-ish on Math and English on those usually. I’m sooooo sure I can get a 36, but gahhhhhhhhh… I mess the eff up every test I do! Math and English is eeeaaasyyy, yet I there are always those pesky questions! I’m a bit sketchy on reading, since that’s scores have been fluctuating the most. 31 is actually my personal best, and I usually hover around 28-ish with reading. I think I did better on the reading this time because I underlined the questions. For science, I can’t really tell. I scored my highest on science with 34, but again, they fluctuate, but at least on the “higher end” of the scale around the 30-ish mark.

With the ACT, you supposedly score consistently, but these scores were literally hours apart. Could it be that these forms were different in level? What are your opinions, and what should I do? I am a rising junior, so any feedback before T-Day would be very appreciated @@… Honestly, I’m a bit disappointed in myself, since I know I can definitely snag a 35 on a good day, but meh…
