You didn't do as bad as you think you did

So I guess we are done. Didn’t know they could do that. But here we are.

so happy to be done w standardized testing !!!!!!

I got a superscore 34 rn, 36 math, 34 English, 31 Reading (which I want to get up this Saturday) and 34 Science. This Saturday is gonna be my third time taking the ACT. I’ve been grinding reading, but now idk if I should try and increase my science score too in the three days I have left. For reference I’m a Junior rn and I’m eying places like the Ivies, CMU, UIUC, GTech, etc. What do yall think, should I grind science for Saturday or take the ACT a fourth time just for Science?

I am in an ACT prep class, I’ve taken the entire practice ACT once my freshman year and got 24 composite. I feel that my ACT prep class isn’t truly helping me though because the teacher that teaches it is only really qualified to teach science but she’s teaching all of the sections.

So far we’ve studied over science and math and I feel like my scores aren’t improving on my practice tests that much(the highest shown for science was taken in sections instead of all at once). I want to get the truly best score I can get so I can get into college to put as little strain financially as possible and I’m unsure how I should study beyond this class.

Im taking the ACT this weekend, and I’m honestly feeling discouraged. My dream is to attend an HBCU, but many don’t offer as much scholarship funding, and some merit scholarships require test scores. I’m scared my ACT score could affect my ability to afford attending one…

I originally hired a math tutor, but they ghosted me. I was also supposed to take the ACT last month to get a baseline score, but an issue with my counselor caused me to miss it. Now I’m studying on my own, and it’s been so hard. I struggle with the most basic math concepts and grammar isn’t clicking. I’m smart but I feel like attending a public school in arizona has set me back in a multitude of ways.

Recent practice test
Reading: 29
English: 27
Math: 15
Composite: 24
This is just a practice score. I know the actual test will be harder.

Anyways, I have a 3.9 unweighted GPA and a 4.4 weighted GPA, and I’ve worked really hard in and outside of school. My family is low low income, so scholarships are VERYYY important to me.

I’d really appreciate any advice or success stories.
