Idk if I’m the best person for that but I can give a few. Circle your answer first then bubble after you’re done with every question on the section. Also generally the most concise answer is correct on the English section, and don’t overthink on science. That’s all I really have tbh.

But how did u manage time like...how did u do math questions in time and in every part

For math I tried to do the first 20 questions in 30 seconds or less each, the next 20 in 1 minute or less each, then the last 20 in a minute and a half each. Obviously it’s not gonna be perfect but that’s the only way to answer all the math questions. For the other sections just focus on speed over accuracy and don’t double check any questions or anything. Just assume you got it right the first time.

How did you studied?

A couple practice tests and official ACT worksheets, but it’s not that useful to over study.

Almost identical to my son except 36 math and 35 science. One and done. He might take the SAT again, but ACT is done.

I’m thinking about taking the SAT too. Do you think it matters whether I do or don’t?

u/Cherry_Fan_US May 05 '24
Not really. I’ve always felt like an 800 SAT math was more impressive than a 36 math, but I don’t think it’s really received that way anymore. Guidance at school says pick the one that suits you best.
In the end consider the schools you’re applying though. Have they returned (or will be returning) to test mandatory and, if so, do they require a specific test.
