<p>On the ACT Math section, I am able to achieve at least a 33 with absolutely no effort and plenty of time left. Also, I didn’t really have to prep for this section. I know if I mark and read the questions/answers more carefully, I can achieve a near perfect score. I even mismarked 5 questions on a practice test (I have NO clue how this happened) and was still able to get a 30. However, on the other subjects, I can only get in the high 20s at the VERY maximum. No matter how much I study, I make so many silly errors: like misreading the question, missing significant words, and I even sometimes look at the wrong chart on the science section. I know I could get the answers right if I could just focus!!! My brain always zones out and it frustrates me!!! I’ll go back and try to see what I did wrong, and to be honest, I almost laugh at how ridiculous the answers that I have previously chosen were!!! I just feel like my brain is literally restricted on these 3 sections. I feel like I have so much potential, but I don’t know how to unlock it. Do you have any tips on how I could improve my scores in these sections.s??? Also, do you have any links to some free practice tests??? Thanks!</p>
<p>Sounds to me like you need to slow down and stay calm. For science, use your pencil or finger whenever possible. For example, if it says to refer back to figure 1, put your finger on table one and read the rest of the question. For English, just read the options in your head. That will usually help get rid of two. However… Make sure you have subject verb agreement… Sometimes they try to trick you into thinking there is a singular subject when it is actually plural. Read the entire sentence!! I don’t really know what you can do for reading… For me, acting like I was reading it for enjoyment instead of under a time restriction helped. I felt like the time was pressuring me to read too fast, and I wasn’t retaining all of the necessary information. The more you retain, the better you’ll do. You just have to find the right speed that takes the time into effect, but also allows you to retain enough info. I hoped this helped… Good luck to you!</p>
<p>Time yourself when practicing reading and science. These sections won’t require much outside knowledge. The English section is all grammar rules. If you know them cold, you’ll do really well.</p>
<p>There are four extra practice tests out there written by the ACT. They shouldn’t be hard to find on here.</p>
