Something I found was that every time I took the exam my scores improved in the math and science sections. The science section is something that you can really improve just by taking practice exams. Reading, wasn’t something I needed to improve, so I couldn’t help you there. English, I took practice exams in the Kaplan book and The Real ACT Prep book, and whenever I would get a question wrong I looked at the reasoning behind it and took notes. Math, I just looked online for important formulas to know. Depending on which college you are applying for, perhaps its best to focus on one or two sections of the ACT at a time. This only works if your college superscores though, I know for me my highest scores in each section came from four different tests! The ACT can be quite tricky, but my score improved by 4 points with not to much studying. Good luck!
