Hey :)

I鈥檓 also in 10th grade (9th grade I did quite well, but haven鈥檛 gotten the pre-ACT scores back from this year :鈥) ) and here are a couple things I鈥檝e found to help:

I was in geometry last year, and algebra 2 this year. Taking algebra 2 definitely made me feel MUCH more confident in the math portion of the pre-ACT, so if you haven鈥檛 taken that yet, it鈥檒l likely help you next year.

In regards to science, analyzing experiments and graphs seems to be primarily what the pre-ACT was. There鈥檚 practice questions for these online or you could ask your science teacher to find some ACT-type questions online for you (mine was able to).

Reading, my advice is read more I guess :鈥) if you鈥檝e taken an honor鈥檚 or AP English course that will definitely help you with analyzing the texts given to you. I would try to work on finding key points fast and determining tones. I took a practice PSAT through the college board鈥檚 app, Bluebook, and once I finished I was able to view my scores, answers, and explanations for every answer (please use this for math and English & reading it helped).

For English, maybe ask your teacher to provide you with grammar and punctuation worksheets. You could search for these online but I鈥檝e never tried so I鈥檓 not sure.

Good luck and I wish you all the best, lmk if you have any more questions!!

Trust me on this. Watch Rishab Jain's act videos! they're realy really helpful, and do the stuff he recommends. Coming from a dude who practiced under a dude who got a perfect score on the SAT, practice is everything.
