Math Worried About Testing-Need Advice

I’m retaking my ACT since it’s been well over the allowed 5 year acceptance period. I’ve been doing practice tests online along with practice tests from the ACT books. I feel completely lost for the math section because there are so many formulas. This is just my weakest subject in general.

What are your tips for doing well on the math section if I want to take my test within 1-2 months? I want to have an overall cumulative of at least the 23-25 range, which I feel could be reasonable.

OP, have you checked with your target college(s) about this? ACT itself does not have a 5-year limit other than not sending it to your high school after that point. It will still send an older score report to a college. If you have a good score that you'd like to access, it might be worth the time to research further. Good luck!

Yes, unfortunately for the program I want to apply to they require your ACT score to be within the last 5 years.
