Would I Be Foolish to Put Hope In a 33 ACT Composite?

I also struggled with Math and Science far more than English and Reading. Even if you don’t study as much as you want to, you should try to take it at least one more time. Maybe it will go up to a 32 or something, you never know.

To study, I would recommend focusing on just math and science. Meaning, don’t even take English or Reading practice tests, just do science and math sections whenever you have time. It’s a lot easier to fit 45 minutes of science into your schedule than the whole test.

I would also recommend only taking practice tests from past ACTs or that have been released by the ACT company. The “Real ACT Prep Book” (The big red one) has real tests, and there are some online. (Also, the test has changed over time, so I wouldn’t take any that aren’t from at least this century).

Then, if you have the money, consider meeting with a tutor. Even just once can give you some strategies you’ve never considered.

If you have the time to study, your ability isn’t maxed out. I raised my ACT by three points from when I first took it to when I last took it.
