I didn't even know scores came out already, but I saw your video and I checked and I got a 35!! Thank you Brooke so much for all your videos, they helped me improve 5 points from my 30!

[ahmedismail]

[Priya-zcmi]

I have literally been in this dilemma all day this could not be a more perfectly timed video

Also cool background!

[julianna]

Queen of new set ups!! Love the change, Brooke

[michallewis]

I have been watching every. Single. One. Of your videos. And you helped me improve 6 points and I made a 28!!

[lefthanded]

I took the ACT for the first time without studying and got a 20. Should I even bother retaking? I don't take any AP classes and I feel like I wouldn't do better. Maybe I should try again and at least aim for a 23.

Could you make a video on whether to choose AP or IB

[johnliu]

I suck on the science section of the test oof

[will.sterrett]

I made a 26 on oof! I got a 36 on my math just like u did in high school but my other sections SUCKED and I missed the BENCHMARK for reading! I got an 18 on that section! I’m only a sophomore so that means I have time to watch ur videos and hopefully I do better! 😂

I have a question if anyone knows the answer. Can you send an essay score from an ACT and not submit that composite? For example, my essay is attached to a score that I don’t like. So could I send the essay score and send the composite out of 36 from another testing day? If I can’t, I need to re-take the ACT with essay.

[Kasiedle]

I cannot get my score to change! I’ve studied so much 😭

[amrithamoorthy]

Can you make a video on Protfolio submission, sliderooom and I wanted to ask that can I submit a portfolio on arts and dance both

[meechk]

So my school pays for the test so i can take it as much as i want but i don’t want them to see my 10th grade act score if it’s not good

[owenwu]

Don’t retake a score in the 99th percentile. It’s that simple.

What if I’m a junior (about to be a senior in this new school year) I took the ACT for the first time on June, if I want to take it again, are you saying I will not have the time anymore? I have to wait until school starts, does that mean colleges will not take my stuff in consideration?

[orangeb]

What act score do I need to get into big ten schools like Illinois and Purdue

[adrienbh]

hi brooke, i have a question about the sat — i took it twice and the second time i took it, my score increased 110 points which was the best ive ever done (taking into consideration practices tests, etc) although i improved, i still dont think its high enough. do you think i should retake it or would it be my limit?

[shinysphinx]

Brooke do you recommend the following books for the act science, math, and English section.

English - Erica Meltzer’s The complete guide to the ACT

Math - The College Panda’s Advanced Guide and workbook

Science - For The Love of ACT Science
