I don't understand the ACT?
Can someone please explain what I am doing wrong? I’ve been taking the ACT almost every single time. I’ve only missed two dates. I am a senior and the ACT is over for me. I learned that if you keeep taking it, your scores will improve. I’ve only increased my ACT composite by 3. It went from a 21 to 24 in only 3 years. I brought a book to study. I did study my brains out. Every day for two weeks before the test, I sat in library in a quiet room and did the pratice test. And every single day, I began to improve until the day before the actual test date. I took a lot of time out to study. I went from a 25 to a 31 composite. I timed myself and didn’t cheat. I also didn’t go back and do the same test questions. I did 10 ACT tests-English, Math, Science, and Reading. I followed as if it was an actual test. The only factor that was different was that I was by myself and not with people on the actual test date. I don’t understand why I am still getting a 24?
It feels like I wasted my time for studying and paying for the tests. I just don’t get it. I don’t think I was too nervous. I did all the normal things like eat a healthy diet, sleep well, and be relaxed. I did feel confident, I was sure most of my answers were correct. All the tests, I did try both ways. Try to be confident and try to be not. I tried almost every technique I could come up with. Still nothing.
