hey so regarding why there's way less tests available now on the link - ACT issued a legal notice to me and so that's why I'm only including publicly available tests now. genuinely sorry :( hope you all understand

[@jdao1sm]

A bubbling strategy I’ve been doing is answering ~10-15 questions and then bubbling the questions I’ve done. This ensures I have time to bubble and don’t have to scramble to bubble at the end and also gives your brain needed breaks.

[@themyst8513]

Same, I bubble after every question sets since its a bit risky to bubbl at the end.

Here is my ACT story. I've taken ACT 4x and about to take it a fifth. First time, I took it in my junior year and got a 19. Second time in my junior year, I got a 20. Third time in my junior year, I got a 22, but notably, I got my reading and English up by 5-6 pts to 25 and 26 respectively. Problem is my math and science remained both at 19 for the past three tests. The last test I took though, I got a 23. English went down by one, reading went down by 4... but my math went up by 3 and science went up by 6!!! If my reading hadn't gone down and my English and reading had at least stayed the same, I would've gotten a 25, which is what I am currently aiming for. I take it in four days and my goal is between a 27-30, a 36 would be lovely, but for me as a person who struggles to take tests, it's most likely not realistic, but hey you never know. One tip Ik is that reading and science test the same skill and they shouldn't be but at max 1 pts apart. I still haven't gotten there but hopefully soon! Wish me luck and I'll be back with my new score soon :)

Score update?!??

[@sethbessinger2025]

Thanks for the video! I took a practice test a couple months ago, and got a 17 on my math section, 28 on Reading, and forgot what else. My composite score was a 23. I’m homeschooled until the fall, and I wasn’t doing my work as much (procrastination). I used to be an A+ student, but homeschooling and procrastination got the best of me. Since then, I’ve been studying like crazy to try and get a better score on the real deal. 10 hours from now, I’ll be taking the ACT. I’m gonna be honest, I’m quite nervous.

[@RoseeKobi]

Score update?!?

[@Beck-Stein]

Great advice man. I’m an older person looking through college prep for my kids. Looking at my kids I expected immature or obvious advice. Not the case with you.

[@rogueone72]

A science teacher recommended to skip the multiple veiw questions on the science act and just bubble same answer and continue on. Then if you have time go back and do them. This strategy helped me a bunch.

[@Kingkevin2008]

I got 28 composite first try without studying for even 5 minutes so now I’m going to study and follow your tips my goal is a 32 for my second try

[@timicofinch4746]

What’s your score update? And can you give any tips on what to study?

Damn it took me 3 tries to get a 28. My superscore is a 30 right now and I’m aiming for a 32

[@orangus_8302]

that’s so fax about princeton review. i did they’re practice tests and would get ~25 most times. i then took the real thing and got a 30

[@lavenderiris3241]

I take the ACT as a freshman in about a month and I’m going to register today or tomorrow. I‘ll take this advice cause I’m really bad with studying and am aiming for at least a 23. I bought the Princeton book and regretted that decision immediately, but I’ll work with all practice tests available. Thank you! Updating on my score is possible.

[@AnalaDragon]

I'm 13 and not in urgent need for tips for a test I'm *never* going to take. I was just procrastinating. I have exams in a week. Your videos somehow help motivate me.

[@yes01]

I took a "short" act test as a freshman, it was around 30 questions for english, 22 for math, 18 for reading and science. But thwy only gave me a percentage on what i got right, so i just put those percentages into a calculator is determine what id get on a real act, and it was 26. You guys think itd get better?

[@insomniang]

Hey Rishab! I noticed that just recently the practice tests on your site were removed for some reasons, and I was wondering if there was any way to access the ACT practice tests still? I have searched for hours and have found none but the free one on the official ACT website or tests in review books. Thanks!

[@RishabJainK]

Hey, some practice tests can be access here: rishabjain.gumroad.com/l/act-testing-content. Unfortunately, the ACT does not permit their copyrighted tests being distributed.

Hey! When you say bubbling at the very end, do you mean at the end of each section? Or the end of the entire test. Thank you!

[@andymtb5714]

He just means at the end of each individual test. You're not allowed to go backwards and fill anything in after all the tests are finished. So do the test you're on, then when you've finished all the problems on that test, go and fill in the bubbles with the time you have remaining. Hope this answers your question!

@@RishabJainK Thankyou

[@Livm_7]

My suggestion (I know this is a year old but just in case anyone else is reading this and would benefit from this) is that if your weak at math, take the act because it’s shorter, also having the science will boost your score a lot if ur good at that

[@MohamMeD-kd8gj]

Can you also tell how did you learn the math required for you research? Did you learn it in school? It looks like that machine learning requires a high level of mathematics skills such as multivariable calculus and Linear algebra

Some calculus I learned from school. Other math I self learned via courses and reading online.

I was going to apply but idk which is better

[@RishabJainK]

I took it with the essay but that's ONLY because my high school required me to do it. But, 99% of colleges don't care for it. Take a look at it online and if it's not required for the colleges you're aiming for, don't take it imo.
