You need to get 7.4 hours of sleep the night before the test.

a good amount of sleep may help. bring a snack

modify your calc and a friends calc, preferibly ti-83+, with bluetooth and write a program on it so u guys can message each other. Then compare answers.

Tell them you have ADHD. You might get more time to take the test


But I digress...Keep your cool, don't stress, and don't rush!

Make sure you piss before the test. I had to go piss real bad when I got to the science section the first time I took it. I got a 23 on Science the first time and a 29 the second time when I could concentrate.

I got my results back a week or so ago.

I was going on six hours of sleep, and didnt finish the math sections fully. Sleep helps.

I got a composite 30. Science and Math were 28s. Reading=33. English=32.

Good luck.

Here's some actual advice:

I dunno if you've taken the SAT yet, but the ACT for me seemed longer... ie I had less time to complete it in. Don't rush, but don't take your time either... just go through the test kinda speedily... I'm sure you'll find that most of the questions are easy.
