wow. you got a 33.5 both times. Too clutch…

take it cause a lot of schools superscore, and for you right now, its still a 34.

So getting a 36 on math and a 30 on everything else will pretty much result in a 35.
Youre maxed out in english and reading, so utilize your time doing math/science, because getting a 36 on English is useless. But don’t bomb the english/reading. since you are good at english, you wont get a low score.
Looking at your score, I assume you re applying to pretty nice colleges, most of which superscore. Look into it, but if you’re trying to get a 35 or 36, it is highly doubtful, unless you get a massive stroke of luck.

Tip on math: do only the last 10 problems of math of EVERY practice test you find, either online or in the bookstore. And give yourself 40 minutes to do 60 problems. This advanced thinking might provoke silly mistakes, but I feel that ACT math is fairly straightforward for the most part. I got a 36 easy by knowing the challenging problems. And if you want, practice with SAT math. That is trickier and better, I think, for people like you who understand the gist of the test but mess up on select problems. I got a 800 on math so believe me lol. Props to your 35 on reading, I envy that.

Good luck!!
