<p>for the ACT, practice by taking full length exams. It’s a test of stamina also. The last section can be the lowest score purely because you lost some steam. rather than prep for a different style test (SAT I), retaking the ACT is not a bad idea. Find out the midrange and if you are in the midrange of scores of the class profile, then don’t stress too much on your test score. Your transcript is much more important, so get great grades, write essays that will help, etc.</p>
