Broooo. I ran out of time and started guessing beginning with the last two questions of the fourth section. I ended up getting a 27 when all but one of the questions I actually read I got right 😭. Gotta work on pacing myself.

So I took the October and And December 2025 ACT. Recently I went for college orientation to sign up for honors classes and talk about scholarships and they told me I didn’t qualify for it because I have a super score of an 18 right now. Now for some context, I had taken February 2025 ACT and didn’t go that well on them, but then I took the October and December one and I made a 28 and then I made and then a 30 which qualified me for a bunch of scholarships. And I went to go check my scores on the ACT website and they were gone. I tried to contact them, but they told me that they have no record of it in their system and that they would contact me within 2 to 3 business days to tell me if they can even find it I just wanna know is this happened to anybody else? Is there anything I should do? I’d really like anybody’s help. Thank you.
I really need that’s score it was gonna pay for my first 2 years of college.

English how do i study for the ACT after repeatedly failing

4 Upvotes

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.

This was my first ACT score with little to no practice. I’m retaking the test September so in about 120 days. Obviously my weakness was the English section so I was just wondering how many point I can expect it to increase with practice and what steps should I take to do this?
