I know how you feel about this, on my actual ACT scores I kept scoring 27s while everything else was high.

I got some tips.
First i always worked on the last section first and worked backwards. The first one is fiction and tends to be harder. Next I answered all the questions that forced me to look at the passage (according to line 76, the word in like 73, the summary of paragraph 3 ). This allowed me to answer some questions AND get a feel of the passage without wasting time on reading itself. Next i answered the remaining questions of that passage by skimming through and finding the answer. MOST of the questions can be answered from direct statements in the passage itself. I did the same with every other passage.

It got me from a 27 to a 33.

best of luck
