I currently have a 30 composite in practice tests bc i never took the actual test before (31 English, 32 Reading, 30 Math, 27 Science). My ACT is September 19th, so I have about 30 days. I’m willing to seriously grind for it, like 4 hours a day, every day, so around 120 hours total.

If I actually use those 4 hours effectively with timed practice, reviewing every mistake, working on weak areas, full practice tests, etc., do you think a 33+ is realistically possible?

I know nothing is guaranteed, I’m just wondering if anyone has made a similar jump in around a month and what you think my chances are. Be honest lol.
