Get a good understanding of Desmos; even if you think you can solve it on paper, use Desmos. It guarantees no error, as long as you understand what the question is asking. Maybe invest in a Panda book I purchased one for the July ACT, cover similar concepts, retook practice Test 1 and went up 140 points in the math section. The book is like 25$, but you can always use Khan academy and learn get the same value.

First, focus on the short, easy grammar and eloquence questions. These are shorter, and you have a fairly good idea very quickly if it is an easy/medium/or hard question. Second, focus on the medium and organization questions. Time yourself nine minutes per passage (15 questions). Get used to that timing. Grammar is testing right or wrong. I highly recommend reviewing grammar rules, particularly commas, at Grammar Bytes (chompchomp.com). Nearly a third of the grammar questions are testing sentence structure. If you can understand the reasons for the commas, then you will fix a lot of structure issues. Eloquence is testing Clear and Concise. If you have the choice between short or specific, choose specific (Clear). However, 9 times out of 10 the multiple choices mean the same thing, so choose the short choice (Concise). The ACT REALLY likes a short answer. Remember, the two C’s: Clear and Concise. Organization questions will ask if you should add a sentence, which of the following sentences you should add, where you should move a sentence, etc. These are essentially main idea questions. Oh, and those yes/no questions are not asking yes or no. They’re really testing if their reasoning is valid. If they suggest, “yes, add the sentence because the paragraph is about “ blah blah blah, ask yourself, “I don’t know, does it?” Is the paragraph about blah blah blah?

If timing is an issue, then we want to be slow and careful on all of your easy and medium questions so that you don’t make any simple mistakes. Test anxiety is a real thing! The funny thing is that we need to be a little bit anxious to do a good job. A little anxiety helps our heart beat faster, providing our brain with both blood and oxygen. However too much anxiety, means that we can’t focus. Consider ways that have worked in the past to help you to manage your anxiety. Do you take three deep yoga breaths? Do you show your work? Do you check your work? Do you chew gum? Manage your time and manage anxiety.

I do two passes on every passage pacing eight minutes per passage (although I have some students that only focus on three passages focusing on high accuracy, and they usually can score mid 20s). I read the passage VERY quickly, mapping 3 to 5 main ideas. Think: where did it start, where did it go, and how did it end. Focus on interesting facts or main ideas. Try to read the passage in less than five minutes. Then I first answer any easy questions that I remember the answer and can easily locate evidence. For me, these are the fact and main idea questions. I SUCK at inference questions. I can do them… But they’re hard for me and they take me a minute. I know that they want an inference that is logical, is supported by textual evidence, and still fits within the main idea. Because I’m great at main idea, I’m also great at analysis.

In my experience, the last two questions in every science passage will either be a medium or hard question. You don’t need to attempt all of the questions, but you do need to be right on the questions that you attempt. The general rule of thumb in science for anything over a scale 30 is one question equals one point. Any question you don’t get to, use guessing strategy. Pick a letter combo that you didn’t use very much in that section, and use that to fill in any skipped/hard questions.

This means usually no more than a few minutes at a time that can be spent with a patient, which in turn means that the patient's issues cannot be properly addressed, which means that the care provided for patients is less than stellar.

You ask for sauce and they squeeze it out of a disgusting rubber nipple, then toss the bottle back into its bin like they don't want to touch it either.

More pressure = more resistance = slows down with out cooking the brakes. What happens though is you touch the pedal ever so slightly and the gears change causing a jolt which also causes the driver to press the pedal more causing a bigger jolt. Also when you get to a slower speed maybe 10 or 15 kmph the retarder kicks off leaving the feeling of not enough brakes so the driver has to brake harder to correct that. The big issue is many drivers are to lazy to report basic faults and only report faults that stop the bus operating its duty. Some older buses can be smooth as and some newer buses can be rough. Unfortunately as a driver we only get 10 minutes to check for route deviations , pre check the bus and get on the road to our first route , and this doesn't include test driving the bus and sometimes you don't find out until your bus warms up so it's easier to just defect at end of shift.", + "extra_info": "" + }, + { + "text": "They want a sense of control and importance?

A very easy but useful tip I have (as someone who took the ACT this July and got a 36 first try) is to find an ACT math formula sheet the night before or on the car ride to the testing center and just look over the formulas for a bit and get familiarized with all the formulas and when to use them.

For reading, if your problem is timing, PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!! For math, if your problem is content, learn and practice the topics you are struggling with! It seems like a strength of yours is english, and assuming that rolls over into reading comprehension (since you scored well on the science section), reading looks like your best bet. It really depends on whether you are stronger in math or reading, and picking which one to strengthen is your best bet to up your score easily. If timing (for any section) is your weakness, that can be fixed with simply taking practice tests over and over until you are able to finish in time.
