i'm a rising senior who hasn't taken act yet and cannot get beyond 29 so this is literally perfect timing, thank you so much!!
thank youuu. glad it helped!
29 is a phenomenal score.
That’s Awesome! Hey what tips can you give?
29 is perfect
I think a lot of people don’t stress how important a good mindset is before the test. I had gotten a 29 twice in a row, and didn’t study ONE bit before my last test, but I went in treating it like a war and that I needed to attack every question with relentless effort because everything was on the line. My parents had yelled at me the night before because they were pissed I didn’t study, and I used that as fuel. I was hungry to succeed. And I got a 32
EDIT: I found this after a while and wanted to share another tip that helped me. At some point during the test you may begin to panic because you don’t know something or feel like you’re going to fast/slow etc. If this happens to you just remember to breathe and do the best you can with what you have. Stay calm and muddle through and you’ll be fine, the worst thing you can do is go bananas.

My parents have literally been making me take practice tests everyday and I after taking it a few weeks ago, I got a 33. Honestly, getting a 36 will put their hearts at rest than mine. *sigh* Thanks for the tips tho!
:(((( that sucks i’m sorry. good luck though!
I want to take a practice test. Can you help me find one?
@@iamsearchingforthefiletmignon Ask your school they usually offer one otherwise you can buy an ACT prep book which has tons of them.
Did that make you burn out or do you think it helped
Also did you take the writing portion?
I'm taking my ACT in 2 weeks as a senior. . .now I'm panicking 😂😭
Your test is tomorrow
Make that 2 days
@@hazemmohamed7004 My test is in 24 hours 🙃
I’m so fucked in a 11 hours never studied
Any tips
I used all of these recommended subject-specific prep books for the ACT too. They are really in-depth and offer tons of practice, really drilling you and forcing you to increase your score in those sections. As she said, its best to allocate about a week or 2 for each book, so it's hard to do a lot of this prep last minute. Also, I didn't study science at all because I did good in it for one of my tests, and then in the next test my science score went to from a 33 to 27, so I purchased "For the love of ACT Science" which helped me bring my act science score up to a 35. Overall, I got a 35 from the fall test in my senior year and I'm really happy.
My ACT is tomorrow morning. I DID AMAZING. atleast a 22. I did SOOOOO goooood. so good. I passed my ACT tommorow. Flying colors. I made everyone so proud!!

Me studying the day before
I think if you’re planning to retake it taking the summer before your senior year to study is perfect 👌🏽. I got a 21 my junior year and then took it again my senior year and got 33
Thanks for this I’m gonna take it soon. And I’m a junior
Damn thats a huge gap
@@cryoq1 thicc gap
what did you do omg 😭??
Lmao, same plan I’m going for, got a bad ACT score as Junior and studying now… hope I’m not too late
I am fully aware I am watching this out of procrastination when I could be actually studying. But this was super helpful. Now I can get the materials I actually need.
I'm in my sophomore year and I'm so glad I found this video! I'll definitely be following these tips
the act scores help with scholarships but pleaseeee don’t stress about getting a very good “perfect” score especially if ur going to community college (i am going to community college dw is not a bad thing) for nursing school at the school im going to (northwest) you need a 19 to get in. a 36 is amazing to strive for but if you don’t get a 36 don’t worry. it doesn’t define how smart you are. i’m homeschooled and tests aren’t as important as public school makes it out to be. just study ( i have an app called something like act prep it’s very helpful for my adhd brain!) just don’t stress. because the stress will just take over and you won’t be able to retain information. i haven’t taken the act yet but i’m taking it next weekend. i am scared bc i haven’t taken a test around a bunch of people but i’m gonna study and take notes and all that so it’ll all work out. plus take in a calculator... and use it as much as you can. it doesn’t matter. don’t cheat either!!! just do ur best and take as much time as you can !!!
I just need a 22 for promise which is like my states scholarship for college bound kids.
Imagine not having asian parents xD
@@PoJellyWildRift lmao ikr, noobs. If you don't have Asian parents? Just get them? Like if you don't have a house, just buy one dude 😩
I’m tryna get a scholarship so ofc imma stress 😭 i have to take this shi next week
My online school is saying if we dont get passing grades we will fail out of this grade and its stressing me SO MUCH 😥
i just took the last act i’m ever going to take, started in seventh grade and haven’t let up til now, i know im not gonna get a 36 because my math is pitiful but i’m putting high score energy out into the universe
that’s the approach😤😤
Yes girl put that out into the universe! You got this! :)
what did u make?
@@Ty-yv3qo lol a 29, my highest ever though was a 30, and then as a cosmic joke to the universe the school im going to i applied to test optional and so i never needed to take the act anyway and i stressed for no reason 😩
love the intro energy
haha thanks, i was hoping atleast one person would think so

@moonguest I got a 17
@@Bria11 I got a 15 :)
remember tho: ur scores don’t define ur intelligence
Remember a number doesn’t define who you are there’s collages who prefer transcripts over a test score...... still shooting for my 30 tho
I take me in 19 days
I just want a 21 how yall getting 32? When i took it i got a 16 yall teach me please 😔
i got a 19 and i have just 2 weeks to study
Go over your weaknesses and practice pacing yourself
And in math, it’s best to know simple multiplication facts to avoid spending time picking up your calculator:)
this might be too late but all i can say is TAKE PRACTICE TESTS!! People who get low scores like that normally get them not because they don't understand the material but because they don't understand what the questions are asking them and because of poor time management. And the main way to fix those is through practice tests! There a bunch of free ones you can find online and the ACT makes a book with a ton of them in it. Basically just take a ton of those to get used to the pacing and overtime you'll realize that a lot of the questions are really similar and not difficult!!
Get inside the ACT makers brains. Usually they are looking for something specific and once you pick of those patterns, you will be golden! Best of luck :)
I love this@@mirapatel2806
Got a 34 in February... 36 English 31 Math 35 Reading and 32 Science. I’m retaking in April to get at least a 35, so I’m going to have to grind out math and make sure my basic skills are good. For science I’m going to have to REALLY review the books I bought over the summer... thanks for the help!! Will update after April ..
Oh wow! Yay Congrats! 🥳👏🙌 you are AMAZING
How did it go?
how did it goooo!!!
@@leylaaslanova1929 I actually didn't score any better, but I got into Columbia ED! I submitted my 34 composite. Thanks for asking oh my it's been so long
You literally can go anywhere with anything over 33
im studying summer AFTER junior year :)
It’s ok COVID messed everything up for us
SAME BYE
ME TOO I GOT TO TAKE IT AGAIN
I’m studying after the summer after junior year😄
YES YES YES! I feel personally that that’s perfectly fine~ I feel like every video I find says study before junior year, however I’m starting my studying now(current junior)!! This might be since I’m going to art school but nevertheless I think it makes perfect sense to study junior year and take it in the summer or even later-then again these are all my personal opinions and everyone’s way of doing it is great☺️✨
ngl i just watched this intro about 5 times already just laughing at how stupid i look
Will these subject specific books work for 2021 or will I need to purchase an updated version ?
😂
@@alexanderosburn6850 get updated
I just took the ACT and the science section had to be the easiest. One thing I would for some tips that help me get familiar was
- Knowing rules
- REMEMBERED MATH FORMULAS GUYS ( I STRUGGLED WITH THIS A LOT)
- Knowing your grammar and structure
- When reading, skim and annotate don’t spend so much time on questions for reading. If you don’t understand then just move on.
- Practice. Practice Practice. TAKE PRACTICE EXAMS AND TIME YOURSELF! This was you can understand where your strengths and weakness.
- The last thing to do is just do your best. I usually have test anxiety but don’t worry so much about your school just do your best and take it as many times. Start with a small goal instead of a huge one for example 19 to a 34. Thats a lot but it’s an high expectations which you can still have but have a goal where you can reach that’s also reasonable!
I hope this helps!
i forgot i was suppose to take the act this year, so now im here watching videos on how to pass and study

*watching this video with two weeks left till the ACT*
Thanks for the tips, got a 24 on my first ACT as a Junior (honestly I did betterI than thought I would). Not bad but there’s definitely plenty of room to improve. I didn’t do this well on the PSAT or SAT. So I’m gonna shoot to improve my ACT score Senior year. 💪
Update?
my act test has been cancelled 3 times already bc of covid. I just want to take it :(

Took the ACT November of 2022 and got a 25. On par for the college I’m applying to, but I’d like to stand out as much as possible. Taking the ACT again in two weeks! Manifesting at least a 30 through much studying and anxiety-reduction techniques… If I get notified, I’ll update this comment with my score~
What did you get!
My school told me that the Act would be in the March but it’s next week ☹️
I have ONE month left UGHHH, I'm stressing so bad but your tips give me motivation to study with the time I have left
okay so i just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH, i haven't done it yet i still have 12 days to study but I'm so thankful that people like you upload these types of videos.
i’m so happy we aren’t taking the act or sat this year because of covid. now i can use this whole year to prepare for my senior year
this is so helpful! my act has been cancelled 3 times and now I’m taking it in september :(
:(((( im sorry
Same bro I only have one mayyybe 2 chances to take it due to covid fml
Not me watching this at 7:10 when I have to be at school by 7:40 to take the test 😭
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 :)

I’m in 8th grade and 12 years old (I skipped 7th grade) and i’m already studying for the ACT and the SAT. :’) My dream college is Harvard so I have to work hard.
I’m curious what happens after you take your act test are you out of school young ages can take it I’m planing on getting my ged but for more options wondering if I can get my act after I get my ged?
No offense but like that's the most stereotypical dream college ever. I would aim towards Columbia or Stanford, which are still Ivies but aren't used in every single TV show and movie.
None of those are my dream college though. I hope to go to Carnegie Mellon

I'm so scared, I procrastinate way too much and then I get busy and burnt out. I have the ACT books and have not studied them once, I'm going to start this week but what If its not enough. I feel like I'm too late, and my school really sucks so I feel so stupid. I want a good score so bad but my awful education makes me so doubtful that I could do anything good. Our school does such a bad job at preparing us I feel helpless and alone. Its currently the summer before my junior year and I feel sick just thinking about it.
should I get the 2nd edition for the English book or the 4th edition
i dont think it really matters. most of the material is probably the same!
Got 1 month to prepare for the act just made the reservation today.. wish me luck lol
I got a 16 on mine but I'm taking it again
I got an 18 my first time and she wasn't satisfied with a 34... imagine
ok hi I'm a sophmore! and I am going to use this and come back maybe next year after I get the ACT score I want and let y'all know if it works!
I'm taking it on October 23. It'll be my second time taking it, I took it Junior year and I won't divulge my results but I got a really terrible score and really wasn't happy with it, so I'm actually doing a lot more studying now
Hey! Do you recommend the act math book you used? I’m taking my ACT at the end of September and I’m trying to decide whether to buy the book you used or the college panda act math book. I also normally score around a 28-30 on the math section and I want to know if you think the book you used would be helpful for me to raise my score.
i really liked my book because it gave me test taking strategies as well as practice problems! but honestly, either one is probably fine since i feel like most prep books are prettyyy similar. hope this helps!
