I saw on the link you provided there's only one practice test available. Will this ever change and will links to more practice tests be made available?
A tip I learned from someone who was in the testing room with me: yes it’s typical to bubble in C all the way down when you’re guessing, but ACT expects that so they’re less likely to put the possible correct answer there. So bubble in A or D when you’re guessing. You’ll have a better chance of getting the correct answer that way.
Great! This is wonderful. I did some research and it looks like E/K is actually the best option. I made an updated video here, that includes this tip: ua-cam.com/video/wGvQYA5TpMw/v-deo.html
another tip! if doing the bubbling all at once thing, it's best to bubble every 10-15 questions, that way you don't run out of time at the end and miss questions due to no time to bubble! (also i have my ACT tomorrow....yikes)
@@Endsidious i would say it was way better than my practice test. i followed that one thing he said, read and answer everything before bubbling and i would say that what helped me the most!
Marh tip: the answers for all math questions are listed greatest to least, or vise versa. Plug and chug "C". If the answer is lower, try the least... aka "A" or "E". If it's neither then it's corresponding "B" or "D".
@@ja416 yeayea- Question: 3x=15. What is x? A) 2 B) 3 C) 4 D) 5 E) 6 Lets pretend we didn't know the answer to this. You would first start with C. (4) 3(4) doesn't equal 15, it equals 12. Now we know C is less than 15, we will now try E (6) 3(6) also does not equal 15, it equals 18. So if C is less than the answer and E is more than the answer, then In-between must be answer (D) (5) This stradegy only works faster than the human mind if the problem is harder to figure out, for example (14x^2)/(5-2X)=30.5 Also though, you could use a function on calculators like the TI-84 Plus to calculate this. • Press the Math Button, then press the up arrow on the white arrow wheel. (You should see an option called Numeric Solver) • Press enter 2 boxes show up. The 1st box is one side of the equation, the other box is on the other side of the equation. So in reality it looks like this Box1 = Box2 You can watch a video on YT that can explain it better than I can.
@@ja416 If C is too big of an answer teh answer is A/B and if C is too low that means the answer is either D/E. This only works for math quesiton that would go in chronological order like increasing number: 2,3,4,5 and works if your asked which is the value of x.
I am taking the ACT tomorrow and the hardest thing for me is hearing noises around me. It especially bothers me on the reading section. I made an 18 on reading last time because I just could not focus on it. This time around I’m gonna take my ADHD medication + get good sleep + remember to breathe deeply so I don’t get that fast heartbeat and overwhelming anger feeling 😁 also next time i take the ACT, i should be getting accommodations! my goal is very ambitious, but i really wanna get a 36. I will settle for a 30 though edit: MY READING WAS MY HIGHEST SCORE!! i bumped up my overall score to a 26 and my reading score to a 33!
I feel that bro, I feel like my mind completely wonders off when I’m reading. The only subject that I don’t get distracted on without the medication is math.🤦♂️
Thank you so much for the genuine help! I've taken the ACT a few times by now and one of the most helpful tips is to go in very comfortable with the test itself. Being anxious or fearful during the test can significantly reduce accuracy, and fear often times comes from the unknown. So basically, get comfortable with the ACT! While in the car on the way there, it's helpful to just remind yourself: "I know what to expect and I'm going to try my best". Good luck to all the test takers out there! Praying for you guys!

He's trying to market himself over UA-cam, while we've been employed by the country's leading boutique test prep companies for years and regularly increase students' SAT and ACT scores by two hundred and fifteen points respectively.
I’m retaking the ACT soon in order to hopefully get a 31 for scholarship purposes. I got a 26 the first time but I was sick as a dog and felt like crap lol. My #1 tip is this. IF YOU QUALIFY FOR ACCOMMODATIONS, TAKE THEM! If you have ADHD, like I do pretty severely, you might qualify for up to time and a half to take the test!
just took a practice test; roght now my composite score is 29 but i REALLY want to get at least a 34 😭 I'll (hopefully) be practicing these tips over the next few months, thank you! update: did these tips for about a week and got a 33, not too shabby!
Thank you for your honesty, and congrats on getting a 36!! Very impressive! I think this video really helped and I am taking the ACT TOMORROW!! :O My tip: Bubble the same letter if you have to guess at the end. I guessed all A's on my first test. Do not guess C, it's too common and the test writers know that. Do not bubble random letters, you have a better chance of getting more right if you guess the same letter.
The best test taking tip I've found for science is to understand prefixes and suffixes. I know it sounds crazy but when you see big words you dont understand, find something you do understand about it like the prefix photo or something and work from there.

I’m currently preparing to take an ACT in a week. I’m not super book smart and I’m just trying to gather as many tips as I can I plan to do some pre test but I do think this was valuable information, thanks!
This video was fantastic. I especially found the per section information most helpful! I’m taking the ACT in a week and I’m definitely going to use the linked ACT tests. I also enjoyed your humor and editing style. Thank you very much for making this video!
I really appreciate this! Currently in highschool trying to get into an academy that requires a 23 in math, and I really dislike studying. These tips are really helpful!
4:44 I've never loved bubbling at the end, I personally like bubbling for every question since I'm a slow enough test taker as it is. If I waited until the end to bubble everything in, I'd be frantically doing it and I would be more likely to make an error. _-Also bubbling between questions can be slightly calming while still being productive :)-_
Here is my ACT story. I've taken ACT 4x and about to take it a fifth. First time, I took it in my junior year and got a 19. Second time in my junior year, I got a 20. Third time in my junior year, I got a 22, but notably, I got my reading and English up by 5-6 pts to 25 and 26 respectively. Problem is my math and science remained both at 19 for the past three tests. The last test I took though, I got a 23. English went down by one, reading went down by 4... but my math went up by 3 and science went up by 6!!! If my reading hadn't gone down and my English and reading had at least stayed the same, I would've gotten a 25, which is what I am currently aiming for. I take it in four days and my goal is between a 27-30, a 36 would be lovely, but for me as a person who struggles to take tests, it's most likely not realistic, but hey you never know. One tip Ik is that reading and science test the same skill and they shouldn't be but at max 1 pts apart. I still haven't gotten there but hopefully soon! Wish me luck and I'll be back with my new score soon :)
@@masonbroadhead8742 Well about a week or so before I was supposed to take it, the school I was gonna take it at cancelled the test bc they were doing something else at the school that day and said they could do it the next Saturday, but unfortunately I was gonna be gone that next Saturday, so now I'm taking the one in December, and it's probably be the last one I'll take before I graduate
Taking mine in 2 days. My overall goal is to get my score to at least 32. Although I've done a lot of studying and practice I don't expect to do great on this one. I'm prepared to completely fail and I'm fine with that. I'm seeing this first one as a trial run for me, through this I will learn how to A. Pace myself, and B. Learn how to prepare better. I plan on taking it as many times as I need to until I meet my goal. That's what's great about this test. You can take it as many times as you would like and then choose what test to show the colleges you're applying to. You just have to opt out of the program that automatically sends the scores to them. Knowing that has caused me to be a lot less nervous, which in turn will hopefully help me during my future ACT's.
on my first ACT this year i literally got a composite score of 19 bro.... 23 in english, 17 in math, 18 in reading, and 19 in science. HOWEVER, i came back 3 months later got a 26, with my english going to a 33!! Now im fr locking in on every section besides english bc i def peaked at a 33
I definitely feel like I should have studied more, it's the night before the test and I was kinda anxious about it so I was fixing to cram but then you said your tip about that so I'm just gonna look over my notes from our ACT boot camp instead of drilling flashcards lol
Superb advice, Rishab, especially the comment about using real tests and getting sleep (I might add -- wake up a bit early on the day of the test; it takes time to get your brain into gear).
@@RishabJain Son took his second ACT a week ago -- he had already gotten a 36 on the math section, hopefully he brings the other scores up slightly as well.
Thank you for the help! Not aiming for a 36, just a 29 or 25 for tuition purposes, but some of your tips helped a lot. I struggle most on the math and English portion. Let’s see what I get tommorow! And also, I don’t know if this is the case for anyone else, but the sleep all night rule is actually the complete opposite for me. I feel like I get in the right mindset with just 5 or less hours of sleep if I have adrenaline from something like a big test. And my short term works wonders when I’m in the zone, so even tho I shouldn’t, I feel like I get the most done last minute. Don’t follow my example kids lol, I’ve just got adhd.
funny enough i’ve been meaning to get diagnosed for adhd, and i got like 4-5 hours of sleep the night before my act yet i was awake (probably on adrenaline) the whole way through, so maybe this is a linked thing? who knows hahah
I personally don’t bubble at the end because i am more likely to make a mistake but I don’t painstakingly bubble each, I’ll finish a page and put slashes in each answer and then at the end I’ll actually put in the bubble that way if I decide that one of the answers would be better later, erasing is easier
Although I don't have to take the test this year, this video was *really* helpful! Honestly, the English and (most) of the Math questions are pretty easy, and being an IB student I'm used to data being provided and being asked to analyze it + the ACT seems a little bit more fun compared to the SAT lol. I'd like to add that studying the night before (in most cases) does very little to actually improve how you do on a test, especially for skill-based questions. You don't just develop that skill the day before, at least in my personal experience. Good video!
For the math, get a TI-36X Pro! It comes with lots of functions, including a systems of equations solver. I used it when I took Dual Pre-Cal, and it saved me so many times.
I take my ACT tomorrow morning! i’m so nervous, i’ve watched at least 5-10 of these style videos! this is my first time taking a test that can confirm my academic future (that’s not in school)! these were great tips!
watching this the night before, but this is all very solid advice. i dont know most of the math on the test, but this made me feel better about my lack of knowledge. GOOD LUCK TO ALL FUTURE TEST TAKERS!!!!
I'm a freshman and at the beginning of the school year I took it for the first time. It was daunting but I got a 25. I'm hoping to improve it in 2023 so I'm gathering up tips. Thank you for this
Thanks for the tips! It’s test day so I’ll share my ACT history! First ACT I took as a sophomore and got a 27. Then, I took tutoring for the math portion, retook the test, and got a 29 that June. In July, I tried again and got a 30. I’m hoping for a 34, so I tried two more times during summer after Junior year and during my Senior year. Both times, I got a 31. Hoping for the best! Thanks again.
I don't think I'll be taking the ACT, but if I do end up needing to, this should be super helpful. I think lots of your content going forward will be :) Thanks!!
hi, just wanted to comment and applaud you for this high quality content. unfortunately I already took the sat once and will be hopefully done after increasing 30 points by the next time. but this was a great video and definitely would've made me consider act before starting prep!! also, completely agree about ritesh verma's content - it is complete clickbait.
this is from my brother who got a 36 on his act. on the act the most common answer is C and B but in the english section always without fail there are AT LEAST 16 answers that are C. hope this helps
Ive personally found that downing a monster and munching down on the peppermints they give you helps a ton, mainly because the caffeine kicks in around the last 2 tests and helps yoy maintain your energy. Also, TAKE ANY ADVANTAGE YOU CAN GET! This isnt a test about "honor and fairness", and if you minor ADHD gives you 30 extra minutes? Definitely steal that. Im a low income child, and i get 3 total free tests per year plus administrative support with stress due to my autism, and i 100% dont require either, but im definitely stealing amy edge i can get.
A tip I learned is that, if you are going to wait til the end to bubble ur answers, use the last 5-10 mins to bubble in. When they give u a 5 min warning, stop doing the questions and start bubbling and once you finish and have a good amount of time left do a couple more questions and guess the remaining ones. (learned this the hard way)
Thanks for these tips man! I have a 23 currently and am taking the test this Sat. Oct. 28, so I am going to use your tips and see how well they work for me. Wish me luck and I'll let you know if my score improved!
@@chelsushi Good luck to you! Unfortunately I found out like 2 days ago that my test got moved to December bc something was going on at the test center/school I was going to take it at, so they had to reschedule it so now I'm taking it in Dec. Kinda ticked off, but I guess I get more time to study
Thank you so much for all your resources. I'm using all your videos/tips/sources to help tutor my brother for his next test date. I'm sorry ACT is trying to shut you down...clearly we can see who actually cares about accessible education!
I take it tomorrow probably for the last time. My current best is a 22 with my math dragging everything down. My goal is obviously a 36 but I really just want to bump it up a bit. I’ll come back with the results after implementing these strategies
the tips about science are super helpful so thank you! i would recommend bubbling page by page (at least this works best for me) because my brain tends to reset every time i flip a page anyway and when i bubble at the end i usually feel so pressed for time that it takes me longer to flip the pages and fill in the corresponding bubbles!
I got a 25 my first time taking the ACT 5 months ago, but I was sleep deprived and forgot a calculator and a pencil lol. I have the test in 2 days, I just watched this video, so I'm going to see how well I can improve my score. I'll update as soon as I get my score back. Wish me luck lol.
May God rain down a plethora of blessings for you my brother Rishab!!! You are an inspiration, and I know have blessed countless other people by igniting a fiery drive to become remarkably exceptional students to ultimately achieve their dreams. You not only ignite a blazing fire, but also inspire people to faithfulness in discipline, consistently putting in the hard work especially when you don't feel like it, and ultimately help create world-changing individuals. I pray for an overabundance of success for you and for God to help you keep doing what you're doing!!!
These will definitely increase my score by a lot i been practicing and taking practice tests online and on the official Act tests and i pray to God i will get a good score this time wish me good luck 🙏
I'm a freshman doing the practice ACT, and now I'm worrying about the actual ACT. I have a while to prepare, but I just wanna do good man :( We're doing the science portion tomorrow, but so far I've scored 24 on english and 33 on reading. And then I got a score of 19 on math today. Im not mad about it, since i guessed on the majority but still 🥲. So excited for science!! (excited to botch it!!)
The perfect explanation! I am impressed with your style of expreesing ideas and I think that tips about the orders of the reading section will be useful for students. Thank you very much for video!
Thank you so much! I am taking my first real ACT this weekend, this was very helpful I am feeling much more confident!!! The PACTs are very useful as well!!!!!!!
hey! this was a great video, super helpful. i was wondering if you could make kind of "deep dive" videos on the ACT math and science sections, w/ tips, strategies, formulas/concepts to remember, and possibly practice problems you deem as hard. thanks so much once again!
I literally did not study for the ACT AT ALL!!!!! I take the ACT today, I'm so nervous. (in my defense there was a lot of things going on at the moment) I'll schedule the test again 😥😥☹h
I am taking my ACT this Saturday, I am a rising junior, I'm taking it just to see what it's like; I will go back again and take it again; I'm not very book-smart and nervous; I don't know what to expect. the math section and science scares me, any tips please give🩷
I study tip I learned from my AP psychology class on cognition is that studying an hour or two before you sleep can help you retain (& retrieve) that information better the following morning because of the process of consolidation. :) (This doesn't necessarily mean cramming!)
@@inconnn it can be, but not always-- for me it would sometimes be reading over my textbook for new material. or watching/rewatching youtube videos (like mr sinn which was who i referenced for psych a lot)-- just really anything that gets you to learn material (it could even be playing a quizizz game or something like that)
I appreciate this video a lot. I only got a 1200 on my first SAT and I have my first ACT test in a couple of weeks. I’m hoping for a 29+ on my ACT and/or a 1340+ on my next SAT, so I’m hoping this video helps me on my ACT and I’ll let you know how I did after I take the test. Again, thank you so much for this video.
I'm retaking my acts in October. I got a 19 composite score(yes I didn't study and no I did not even finish all of my sections.) I plan to aim for a 30 or at least a 28 and then I automatically get a full ride. The only thing I need to work on is timing and English. I'm not the best at English and do the best at math because if I don't know how to do the equation, I can do basic math rules to find which choice would best fit the answer. I'm scared as heck that I'm gonna fail again but this time I've studied so I should bring up my scores by a lot and I still have a month. Hopefully, I do good.
My school administered a “practice” or prep test, I found reading the answers would help to narrow what you’re looking for as you’re reading and working

Have you taken it yet?
I went from a 10 to a 36 thanks man!
lucky
Do you have any tips ???
@@kriti1028 I think he's joking
actually?
@@creavityatrandom I'm not
4:44 I've never loved bubbling at the end, I personally like bubbling for every question since I'm a slow enough test taker as it is. If I waited until the end to bubble everything in, I'd be frantically doing it and I would be more likely to make an error.
_-Also bubbling between questions can be slightly calming while still being productive :)-_
valid i guess it depends on everyone's style but I found it rly helpful!
Quick question. Do they give you like a 5 minute warning?
@@cambo9414mine did! I'm not completely sure if all do. Sit where you can see the clock 1000%
no it will always be faster to do it at the end always logically it will be the fastest
Or bring a watch if you can tell time 😃
literally thank you so much i started crying while trying to study cus i was so scared 😭 you made preparing feel much easier
Here is my ACT story. I've taken ACT 4x and about to take it a fifth. First time, I took it in my junior year and got a 19. Second time in my junior year, I got a 20. Third time in my junior year, I got a 22, but notably, I got my reading and English up by 5-6 pts to 25 and 26 respectively. Problem is my math and science remained both at 19 for the past three tests. The last test I took though, I got a 23. English went down by one, reading went down by 4... but my math went up by 3 and science went up by 6!!! If my reading hadn't gone down and my English and reading had at least stayed the same, I would've gotten a 25, which is what I am currently aiming for. I take it in four days and my goal is between a 27-30, a 36 would be lovely, but for me as a person who struggles to take tests, it's most likely not realistic, but hey you never know. One tip Ik is that reading and science test the same skill and they shouldn't be but at max 1 pts apart. I still haven't gotten there but hopefully soon! Wish me luck and I'll be back with my new score soon :)
Good luck! I’m taking my first practice one tomorrow. Let us know how you do on it Sam!
@@masonbroadhead8742 Well about a week or so before I was supposed to take it, the school I was gonna take it at cancelled the test bc they were doing something else at the school that day and said they could do it the next Saturday, but unfortunately I was gonna be gone that next Saturday, so now I'm taking the one in December, and it's probably be the last one I'll take before I graduate
@@SamOfTheSmokies76 good luck next week! I'll be taking it as well. I believe in you!
Any updates?
@@Bob25477 not yet but hopefully in the next few days
Took mine for the first time a while ago as a sophmore, thanks to this video and many other I managed to score a 33
Oh my goodness this was definitely the most helpful prep video I've watched. You're the best
Glad it was helpful!
Taking mine in 2 days. My overall goal is to get my score to at least 32. Although I've done a lot of studying and practice I don't expect to do great on this one. I'm prepared to completely fail and I'm fine with that. I'm seeing this first one as a trial run for me, through this I will learn how to A. Pace myself, and B. Learn how to prepare better. I plan on taking it as many times as I need to until I meet my goal.
That's what's great about this test. You can take it as many times as you would like and then choose what test to show the colleges you're applying to. You just have to opt out of the program that automatically sends the scores to them. Knowing that has caused me to be a lot less nervous, which in turn will hopefully help me during my future ACT's.
let me know what you get
How was it
@@niveyahh2206 Not too bad, got a 25. Not as good as what I was hoping for but I now know what to practice. I'll be taking it again in September.
@@Nateflys 25, I'm taking it again in September so hopefully I can get closer to that score goal.
Same man. Have you been studying yet c
on my first ACT this year i literally got a composite score of 19 bro.... 23 in english, 17 in math, 18 in reading, and 19 in science. HOWEVER, i came back 3 months later got a 26, with my english going to a 33!! Now im fr locking in on every section besides english bc i def peaked at a 33
I definitely feel like I should have studied more, it's the night before the test and I was kinda anxious about it so I was fixing to cram but then you said your tip about that so I'm just gonna look over my notes from our ACT boot camp instead of drilling flashcards lol
Bruh God bless you for real, you're looking out and I appreciate it
just took my June ACT using the reading section trick I got a perfect score, thanks Rishab 🙏
what was the trick?
Yea I got my reading score up 6 pts
thanks so much bro! I just took the test and got a 34 on it, all my thanks goes to you for these tips!
Superb advice, Rishab, especially the comment about using real tests and getting sleep (I might add -- wake up a bit early on the day of the test; it takes time to get your brain into gear).
Absolutely!
@@RishabJain Son took his second ACT a week ago -- he had already gotten a 36 on the math section, hopefully he brings the other scores up slightly as well.
For anyone who might still want to use the test guide books, your library might have some for ACTs, SATs, or even APs!
Thank you for the help! Not aiming for a 36, just a 29 or 25 for tuition purposes, but some of your tips helped a lot. I struggle most on the math and English portion. Let’s see what I get tommorow! And also, I don’t know if this is the case for anyone else, but the sleep all night rule is actually the complete opposite for me. I feel like I get in the right mindset with just 5 or less hours of sleep if I have adrenaline from something like a big test. And my short term works wonders when I’m in the zone, so even tho I shouldn’t, I feel like I get the most done last minute. Don’t follow my example kids lol, I’ve just got adhd.
I just need a good score
funny enough i’ve been meaning to get diagnosed for adhd, and i got like 4-5 hours of sleep the night before my act yet i was awake (probably on adrenaline) the whole way through, so maybe this is a linked thing? who knows hahah
@@meltx I just took my hopefully a good score I just picked what seemed right
@@akai3974 i took mine this past saturday as well! i did the same too dw, hope it goes well for both of us :P
what did u get??
I personally don’t bubble at the end because i am more likely to make a mistake but I don’t painstakingly bubble each, I’ll finish a page and put slashes in each answer and then at the end I’ll actually put in the bubble that way if I decide that one of the answers would be better later, erasing is easier
Although I don't have to take the test this year, this video was *really* helpful!
Honestly, the English and (most) of the Math questions are pretty easy, and being an IB student I'm used to data being provided and being asked to analyze it + the ACT seems a little bit more fun compared to the SAT lol.
I'd like to add that studying the night before (in most cases) does very little to actually improve how you do on a test, especially for skill-based questions. You don't just develop that skill the day before, at least in my personal experience.
Good video!
If you need help in maths...I can help you personally . Just contact me.
@@NomadAnk That's a bit out of the blue lol, my message was 8 months ago
@@creative0001 I can help you any how
A tip i learned and would recommend is reviewing your practice tests so you can know both your weaknesses and strengths. We've got this 💪💯
Gonna try this while doing the practice tests, My second time i super scored a 25. I need a 29 to get a full tuition scholarship I’ll update! 😊
Thank you so much! I’m taking the ACT tomorrow. I’m hoping I can bring up the 21 I got. 😔
you got this big dog. dont stress it
I'm taking the math assessment today and I'm straight praying in tears I pass 😭 I really hope this helps
You got this!
For the math, get a TI-36X Pro! It comes with lots of functions, including a systems of equations solver. I used it when I took Dual Pre-Cal, and it saved me so many times.
How do you work it? I have one..
I take my ACT tomorrow morning! i’m so nervous, i’ve watched at least 5-10 of these style videos! this is my first time taking a test that can confirm my academic future (that’s not in school)! these were great tips!
me too 😭
Me too😟😟
Sameee good luck!
Was the outcome good?
Yea what did yall get
watching this the night before, but this is all very solid advice. i dont know most of the math on the test, but this made me feel better about my lack of knowledge. GOOD LUCK TO ALL FUTURE TEST TAKERS!!!!
How did you do?
I'm a freshman and at the beginning of the school year I took it for the first time. It was daunting but I got a 25. I'm hoping to improve it in 2023 so I'm gathering up tips. Thank you for this
Can you please give me some tips in currently stuck at a 19 and I would love to score atleast a 25 I take it next month
@@zacharylinzy same
Thanks for the tips! It’s test day so I’ll share my ACT history!
First ACT I took as a sophomore and got a 27. Then, I took tutoring for the math portion, retook the test, and got a 29 that June. In July, I tried again and got a 30. I’m hoping for a 34, so I tried two more times during summer after Junior year and during my Senior year. Both times, I got a 31.
Hoping for the best! Thanks again.
I don't think I'll be taking the ACT, but if I do end up needing to, this should be super helpful. I think lots of your content going forward will be :) Thanks!!
It’s mandatory where I live 💀💀
hi, just wanted to comment and applaud you for this high quality content. unfortunately I already took the sat once and will be hopefully done after increasing 30 points by the next time. but this was a great video and definitely would've made me consider act before starting prep!! also, completely agree about ritesh verma's content - it is complete clickbait.
just took my test. Your tips helped. thanks for not just trying to sell us a course and actually trying to help!!!!
this is from my brother who got a 36 on his act. on the act the most common answer is C and B but in the english section always without fail there are AT LEAST 16 answers that are C. hope this helps
They change every year
Ive personally found that downing a monster and munching down on the peppermints they give you helps a ton, mainly because the caffeine kicks in around the last 2 tests and helps yoy maintain your energy. Also, TAKE ANY ADVANTAGE YOU CAN GET! This isnt a test about "honor and fairness", and if you minor ADHD gives you 30 extra minutes? Definitely steal that. Im a low income child, and i get 3 total free tests per year plus administrative support with stress due to my autism, and i 100% dont require either, but im definitely stealing amy edge i can get.
A tip I learned is that, if you are going to wait til the end to bubble ur answers, use the last 5-10 mins to bubble in. When they give u a 5 min warning, stop doing the questions and start bubbling and once you finish and have a good amount of time left do a couple more questions and guess the remaining ones. (learned this the hard way)
This video made me feel comfortable and confident
Thanks for these tips man! I have a 23 currently and am taking the test this Sat. Oct. 28, so I am going to use your tips and see how well they work for me. Wish me luck and I'll let you know if my score improved!
I'm taking it tmrw too! Good luck to us!
@@chelsushi Good luck to you! Unfortunately I found out like 2 days ago that my test got moved to December bc something was going on at the test center/school I was going to take it at, so they had to reschedule it so now I'm taking it in Dec. Kinda ticked off, but I guess I get more time to study
Love your authenticity!! these tips are actually so helpful
Thank you so much for all your resources. I'm using all your videos/tips/sources to help tutor my brother for his next test date. I'm sorry ACT is trying to shut you down...clearly we can see who actually cares about accessible education!
I take it tomorrow probably for the last time. My current best is a 22 with my math dragging everything down. My goal is obviously a 36 but I really just want to bump it up a bit. I’ll come back with the results after implementing these strategies
Thank you for this advice. This is very helpful for me. Hoping when the time comes to take this test, I perform well. Congrats on acing it!!!
another good thing about bubbling at the end is that it saves you from bias, where if you see 2 c's in a row you think the next one won't be a C
Taking the act for the first time as a senior tomorrow 😵💫
Good luck!
How do you feel
omg same lol
@@dimcho2552 I think I’ll fluke and not get up to a 30😵💫
@@noble_emperor3013 Just took it man and all I can say is that was the most bs thing ive taken in my life
I forgot to watch the videos last night so here I am the morning before the test
How’d the test go
@@kj1222 not good, I’m really disappointed with myself cause I only got a 20 but it’s okay cause I’m gonna retake it
you’re so real thank you
the tips about science are super helpful so thank you! i would recommend bubbling page by page (at least this works best for me) because my brain tends to reset every time i flip a page anyway and when i bubble at the end i usually feel so pressed for time that it takes me longer to flip the pages and fill in the corresponding bubbles!
I have bad news for the part about studying the night before the test, and about sleeping... it's 3:10am right now and I take the ACT at 7:30am lol.
Taking it tomorrow, I agree with all the tips and received most of them before watching this video!
same, goodluck bro🙏
@@camwhatchudoin You too
YAYAY! good luck everyone!!!
I got a 25 my first time taking the ACT 5 months ago, but I was sleep deprived and forgot a calculator and a pencil lol. I have the test in 2 days, I just watched this video, so I'm going to see how well I can improve my score. I'll update as soon as I get my score back. Wish me luck lol.
I got a 27 lol. I didn't study at all so I don't know what I really expected. 2 points higher is better than none though!
@@haydenliter3600wow
Man I took it to and went from 19, 20, 22, and then to 23 in september. trying to get a 27 but that's pushing it
I am taking the act tommorow, i have done no prep at all. Wish me luck (i am a senior btw)
Mee tooo Broo😭😭😭
Same. How did you do?
Most helpful youtuber for act tbh
hooray!
I’m doing act prep rn and I am aiming for a 30, 32. I just want to make sure I’m doing everything so I can get those scores so ty for the tips!
May God rain down a plethora of blessings for you my brother Rishab!!!
You are an inspiration, and I know have blessed countless other people by igniting a fiery drive to become remarkably exceptional students to ultimately achieve their dreams.
You not only ignite a blazing fire, but also inspire people to faithfulness in discipline, consistently putting in the hard work especially when you don't feel like it, and ultimately help create world-changing individuals.
I pray for an overabundance of success for you and for God to help you keep doing what you're doing!!!
These will definitely increase my score by a lot i been practicing and taking practice tests online and on the official Act tests and i pray to God i will get a good score this time wish me good luck 🙏
I'm a freshman doing the practice ACT, and now I'm worrying about the actual ACT. I have a while to prepare, but I just wanna do good man :( We're doing the science portion tomorrow, but so far I've scored 24 on english and 33 on reading. And then I got a score of 19 on math today. Im not mad about it, since i guessed on the majority but still 🥲. So excited for science!! (excited to botch it!!)
I appreciate you. I was stressing but your very calming and professional. Wish me luck!!
Best of luck!
The perfect explanation! I am impressed with your style of expreesing ideas and I think that tips about the orders of the reading section will be useful for students. Thank you very much for video!
*expressing
Bro says he's not selling a course then proceeds to sell an ACT improvement package in his description.
Mine is Tuesday! I got a 23 on my last ACT and 24 on my practice. Hoping to get a 25 or above!!!$
Same, I got a 23. Aiming for a 27, but that is pushing it.
10 days out from ACT lol, thanks so much! This'll for sure help with studying.
Although I'm still away from that this video is so informative and full of advice for people like me! Great job!
Indeed
@@thespacer7136 hmm yes.
Thank you so much! I am taking my first real ACT this weekend, this was very helpful I am feeling much more confident!!! The PACTs are very useful as well!!!!!!!
hey! this was a great video, super helpful. i was wondering if you could make kind of "deep dive" videos on the ACT math and science sections, w/ tips, strategies, formulas/concepts to remember, and possibly practice problems you deem as hard. thanks so much once again!
I literally did not study for the ACT AT ALL!!!!! I take the ACT today, I'm so nervous. (in my defense there was a lot of things going on at the moment) I'll schedule the test again 😥😥☹h
I’ll watch this again next year❤
yall talking about how your goal is in the 30s meanwhile my goal is in the high twenties
I'm just hoping to make it in the 20s 😭
I am taking my ACT this Saturday, I am a rising junior, I'm taking it just to see what it's like; I will go back again and take it again; I'm not very book-smart and nervous; I don't know what to expect. the math section and science scares me, any tips please give🩷
Me too, I’m taking it this Saturday. I’m a rising senior
I study tip I learned from my AP psychology class on cognition is that studying an hour or two before you sleep can help you retain (& retrieve) that information better the following morning because of the process of consolidation. :)
(This doesn't necessarily mean cramming!)
something like reading over notes for a bit before you go to bed?
@@inconnn it can be, but not always-- for me it would sometimes be reading over my textbook for new material. or watching/rewatching youtube videos (like mr sinn which was who i referenced for psych a lot)-- just really anything that gets you to learn material (it could even be playing a quizizz game or something like that)
y’all wish me luck mine is tomorrow
Me too. Good luck
Update
@@Aural1 I got a 29
If you ain’t watching this 7 hours before you take ACT you’re a scoob
i’m cooked 😭
Me too 😭😭😭😭😭😭
“don’t study the night before” jokes on you im studying 2 days before🙌🏼
I appreciate this video a lot. I only got a 1200 on my first SAT and I have my first ACT test in a couple of weeks. I’m hoping for a 29+ on my ACT and/or a 1340+ on my next SAT, so I’m hoping this video helps me on my ACT and I’ll let you know how I did after I take the test. Again, thank you so much for this video.
OK act tomorrow i kinda trust myself more than i should but i’ll be fiiiiiine, great tips :)
This is the most useful and concise video. Thank you for putting this out!
i like how he said don't. buy practice tests online and is literally selling on on his website.
right
thank you! I have the textbook and I did see that the English section was harder can't wait to pass the ACT!
Awesome video Rishab!
I'm retaking my acts in October. I got a 19 composite score(yes I didn't study and no I did not even finish all of my sections.) I plan to aim for a 30 or at least a 28 and then I automatically get a full ride. The only thing I need to work on is timing and English. I'm not the best at English and do the best at math because if I don't know how to do the equation, I can do basic math rules to find which choice would best fit the answer. I'm scared as heck that I'm gonna fail again but this time I've studied so I should bring up my scores by a lot and I still have a month. Hopefully, I do good.
took it and got a 33 because of a terrible reading score, hopefully this video helps on my next one!
Same but ela 😂 wasn’t expecting the fast pace
I like how you're selling yourself! Great video, Rishab
My school administered a “practice” or prep test, I found reading the answers would help to narrow what you’re looking for as you’re reading and working
bro i literally j went from a 28 to a 36 after i watched this. Thanks bro.
Rishab, thank you. I am doing prepscholar and I am watching this video to prepare for the ACT that I am taking tommorow.
I took it in November and I got a 35 on English, 1 question away from a 36
I got a 20 on the act, I take it in a couple of days and I’m praying I get like a 26-27
