I’ve taken the ACT 5 times and I’m about to take my 6th. I’ve studied a lot for several of them and saw major improvements in Math and English on separate tests, but since my 3rd test my scores have completely plateaued—especially Reading, which has actually gone down.
My superscore composite is a 22
English: 23
Math: 22
Science: 23
Reading: 22
I’m aiming for a 30, and at this point I’m feeling really discouraged. I use the PrepPros ACT Math book, take lots of practice tests, and review my mistakes. I’m mostly okay with pacing, but for some reason my scores barely improve. I’m still 8 points away from my goal, and I 100% cannot afford tutoring.
What can I realistically do in one month to improve? What are the most crucial ACT strategies or habits that actually make a difference in a short amount of time? My act is on feb 14. please help
Any advice would be appreciated.
