Hi,
I took the ACT for the first time in February and got a composite score of 33 (trust me, I was shocked). I hate when people on here act like having a 3.9 GPA or a 2300 SAT is a complete failure, and I know my score is incredible and that I have nothing to worry about etc. I’m not looking for sympathy or disgust or anything like that. I just need advice on how I can cram for tomorrow and hopefully increase my score.

My subscores:
Reading: 36 (no idea how that happened)
English: 35 (also have no idea how that happened)
Math: 32 (I want to improve this)
Science: 28 (I ran out of time and had to guess on the last few passages, any tips?)
Writing: 8 (I was honestly expecting this to be much better, then again I didn’t have a format or anything.)

Anyway, I would really appreciate some suggestions on how I can cram tonight! If anyone has any essay templates or strategies that have worked well in the past, I would really appreciate it.

I also need tips for science…

And anything else you guys think can help me!

Thanks in advance.
