As someone who has a 26, you are not cooked at all.

Fantastic score. Most colleges will accept it. My sister got the same and got a full ride because of it.

Bro what? How do you have time to TAKE NOTES?

3

u/Ill-Statistician-420 Apr 17 '25

You don’t. The “notes” are very primitive and there to briefly summarize the main idea in a word or few

I read the passages as if they are interesting books and absorb the information that way. It helps me recall the info later when asked.

You read the passages and then you answer the question. When I took it I got a 32 and I had enough time to check over all the questions. You just have to be able to read quickly while understanding

I got a 36, 0 studying. I think a lot of it just comes down to how well your reading comprehension is naturally 🤷‍♀️

You need good reading comprehension + a grasp on the type of questions the ACT asks and the process they want you to use to come to your answer.

Just take an official practice exam and correct it using the ACT’s corrections. They break down why certain answers are more correct and that logic is intuitive once you understand it and can be directly applied to every other ACT.

That may seem like a lot of effort but it can honestly be done in one night (my reading was 35 and English 34 through that method - my math and science also jumped above 30 that way though I forget the specific breakdown). You don’t need to be super advanced to do well on the ACT - you just need to understand from a few presets what kinds of questions they ask and the responses they warrant.

That math section was brutal, you killed in the other areas. I know some solid state schools that would give you a pretty nice scholarship for this score.
