I will be taking the ACT for the second time in hopes of increasing my overall score and having something better to submit to colleges. You only get one first impression, so I have to make sure that I look good the first time. I continue to take the tough classes at my school. In preparation for the test, I have been taking the practice test on the ACT website to help me become familiar with the test format and with the flow of answering questions, because I am usually a slow test taker.
