How to actually study for the ACT properly? (Aiming for a Superscore)

Hey everyone,

I’m getting ready to lock in and study for the ACT, but I want to make sure I’m doing it properly right from the start instead of just mindlessly grinding practice tests.

My main strategy is to build a high superscore, so I want to approach my prep with that in mind (maybe heavily focusing on 2 sections at a time across different test dates to maximize my scores without burning out).

For those of you who scored high or successfully superscored your way to your target:

  • What does a "proper" study routine look like? How do you actually analyze your mistakes so you don’t keep repeating them?
  • Best resources? What are the best books, websites, or strategies for each specific section (English, Math, Reading, Science)?
  • Superscore Strategy: If you specifically aimed for a superscore, how did you break up your focus between different test dates?

Any advice, timelines, or schedules you could share would be amazing. Thanks in advance!
