Guys this is my first time ever taking the ACT

Will i take it on smtg like bluebook ? Should i install it ? What should i nd not bring to the test ?

I don t wanna pass the science part anymore.. how can i cancel it ?

Is there anything i should be aware of ?

Any general advice ?

You all m so stressed

Hey guys

I have some qsts

1 does NYUAD really accept students who already finished their first uni somewhere else nd wanna start over ?

2 do they judge based on uni or hs transcripts? Nd if both which one is more important?

Genuine Question

Italy is not the best job market nor the most awarding

People are closed off to their monther language so u gotta speak it, too

​

I m applying for bief nd biem

Hey everyone, i m usually good at reading nd compréhension but in other languages, yet i ve the analytical skills.

Nevertheless, while reading ACT passages i feel like i m consistently zooming out nd in, nd i keep hearing voices in my head ( whether these re translations from eng to french / just NOISE )

Context ( i usually lack sleep at night cauz of it so it s ont only while reading but especially)

Plus, i struggle lots with idioms nd implications

Nd my pacing is CRAZY-SLOW but when i take my time i get 90 percent accuracy.

I don t have strong MEMORISATION so i need always to read the whole paragraph nd stuff

​

My biggest enemy is history passages

Idk what to do plz any trick or tip can REALLY help

I made ma mind to enhance my english score .. i was at 26 ( practice tests), i ve locked in for likr 12 hrs, i took a practice test the other day got a 22 mdr

Hahahahaha ( m crying inside)

Hey

I ve already registration for july ACT nd now i wanna cancel the science part

Is it possible ? Also m applying for finance or applied economics so i don t really need that right?

I m naturally good at reading graohs nd stuff but that shii is draining nd i ve absolutely no energy for it by the end of the test i ll just scraw it up big time.

Hey guys

I hope y re doing good MENTALLY nd all

Well, i ve just finished my 1st practice test, nd i got 24

9 mistakes i ve made were : WORDS IN CONTEXT & TRANSITION WORDS

( so imma starting by this shii first since english is my 4th language i usually just use french to guess LOL)

It WOULD REALLY HELP IF U GUYS SUGGEST WHAT CAN I DO TO STOP DOING THESE MISTAKES ( ngl everytime i encounter a qst like that ik i ll get cooked .. nd i feel so sure its false )

Is there any specific resources to learn from

Or flashcards ?

Also i m taking practice tests from THE OFFICIAL ACT GUIDE 2026 2027 but i ve to type my choice on papers nd read from the screen ( i ve a pdf ) so it takes more tkme than what it should be / nd I HAVE TO CALCULATE MY SCORE MANUALLY EVERYTIMR / EVEN THO I M TAKING THE DIGITAL VERSION /

IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY TO PRACTICE ?

Hey everyone, I have just registered for the 11th july nd i feel quite nervous .. since i couldn't get a fee waiver ( my hs doesn t know what that even me nd they don t care ), i had to put 192dollars which -godamn it- is literally my dad s salary.

This will be my first nd last time taking this test whatever the results are, nd i ll ve to travel for like 1000km to pass it ( since we only have to centres in the whole country) with mom

So m literally putting all my fam in this hella exam nd i don t wanna get a MEDIOCRE GRADE after all.

Here where i m currently at :

English isn t my 1st language

Not even my 2nd language

My weakest parts are literally everything ( for the score m aiming for)

IMMA LOCKING ABSOLUTELY IN THIS MONTH ND I WANT ADVICE TIPS RESOURCES OR ANYTHING THAT CAN HELP !!

ESPECIALLY FROM THOSE WHO ENHANCED THEIR SCORES like CRAZY IN A SHORT TIME

( ik that magic can t happen but i believe in hard work nd if i set my mind to it, i ll get it )

Lol : Tutors i ve no money (:

I m taking the july Test , nd rn looking for books, pdfs ( enhanced version) nd any other free ressource since i can t afford paying a shii

Tyy in advance

Can i still apply for the 1st year even tho i ve already enrolled somewhere else but i m not asking for credits recognition?

I M PRETTY SICK OF SAT'S BULLSHIT

INSTEAD OF EXAMINING OUR ANALYTICAL SKILLS THEY RE USING VOCAB FROM ANCIENT GREEK

GOD DAMN IT.

English is my 4th language ( 1st arabic 2nd french 3rd spanish 4th english ) yeah u can guess m moroccan

I genuinely sometimes just stare at the text nd sometimes it s worse i stare at the choices themselves like that star character from Sponjboob

I ve never gotten a wrong answer in reading when it comes to french, idk how AMERICANS or those who ve studied in American schools their whole life still get questions wrong like come on we re starting at different levels

Any tips plz 🙏🏻 🙂
