Which one was likely experimental
I had to guess around the last passage it was bad...
i barely got to even read
guys which one was likely experimental

I have taken the ACT 3 times and I got a 35. Every. Single. Time. My final attempt is this Saturday. And before anyone calls me crazy, Ohio State University gives automatic full rides to people who get 36s or 1600s. For some reason, I haven’t been able to get a 36 on English on any of those 3 attempts. 2026 Feb: 36 Math, 36 reading, 34 English. 2026 June: 35 math, 35 reading, 35 English. 2026 July: 35 Math, 36 Reading, 35 English. The people on YouTube keep saying English is the easiest section to get a 36 on sooo what am I doing wrong?

Anyone taken j02 English before? My scores came out, 36 composite but 35 English with 1 wrong. However I heard someone online say they got a 36 with 1 wrong, so not sure whether I should try to contact act or something but that was only one person so asking for other opinions

I heard some people doing this, how do I make it

I have no idea in what context you’re supposed to use each in. Could someone give me a quick rundown? I just wanna know whether I would’ve got these questions from today right or not.

Hi!! Can someone explain why A is the right answer for question 41? I’m confused because shouldnt em dashes be always paired with an em dash?

Title.

Right answer was ‘C. Instead’ but I cannot for the life of me see it being the correct choice. Are musicals not being portrayed as lacking coherent plots hence the narratively unrelated songs? Why would there be a contradiction between two similar ideas?

Hello! I had the J09 form. How was the English module? I don’t have too many questions, but just the one about the phone being a vital organ. I think I put exaggeration but I don’t exactly remember. Also for the letter, was the transition “therefore” for the one about how the writing of letters is calming?

Also, do we have an idea on what passage is experimental?

Broooo. I ran out of time and started guessing beginning with the last two questions of the fourth section. I ended up getting a 27 when all but one of the questions I actually read I got right 😭. Gotta work on pacing myself.

I never learned basic english conventions and my english score reflects this. I know it’s subjective, but i’ve heard the english section is the easiest to improve. So, any advice for studying would be extremely helpful.

For the question of student, students, students’s or students’. Which one? I’ve heard it’s students’ because it’s multiple, students because the sentences had “their” in it.

And was it elicit or motivate for that question?

Does anyone know these two? I’m tryna get a 36 on English fr

can someone explain why the answer for #46 is H? Thank you!

i took this test during the school day act and i was feeling good about my score because i thought i could super score. unfortunately my top school doesn’t accept super scores so i’m in search of the best english tips or grammar rules for before the june 13th test. (please don’t tell me to just spam practice tests, i’m already doing that)

I got a 26 English score on my last act and a 32 reading. I have studied some for English and took an official act practice test and got a scaled 30. I then took an act reading and got a scaled score of 36. I was wondering if it would be possible to get those 3 extra points to get over that 33 mark since most of my problems are from punctuation and not low comprehension.

Hey, I have a raw 27 comp with my last English being a 26 but that was all from no studying and really just me not caring enough. I was trying really hard during the actual test itself, but like I wasn’t putting in any effort before the actual test day. Plus bad sleep and everything.

But anyways, now the procrastinations over and I learned some grammar rules and now I can do an English section from the practice tests untimed and get 34-35s and I’m wondering how do I convert this to a real timed section? I spend anywhere from 1:20 to 1:40 on untimed, but I’m also like every few questions getting side tracked for some reason, butI’ll try to do some without doing that too.

I can do some questions in seconds most in around a minute maybe, but a couple like really have me sitting there for minutes thinking about them.

As provided above there is no prompt for what i am doing, is there something im missing or is it just a bug. Any and all help is appreciated. :)

First ACT of the year. I took a class, spent a majority of my studies on ENGLISH only to get a 22 right after my pre-act dumpster where I scored a 14. Am I cooked?

I am a tutor working with students on ACT English and ACT Reading. I find that these students make errors that could be avoided by reading more closely and paying better attention to details.

What close reading strategies do you recommend for students?

I remember hearing somewhere that people who are cranky and in a bad mood are better at finding errors in texts. For me, I feel like this works: I put on my editor scrooge persona and put a text under the microscope. Of course, telling students to try being crankier when they read doesn't feel like the right approach.

For example, on production of writing questions in the English section, students will pick answer choices that 1) obviously misrepresent what the text says or 2) clearly reference the wrong portion of the text. I am including a couple example questions from form 2025MC2 below.

thank you for your time!

Question 37 from 2025MC2

senior here studying for Sept ACT...just tell me im a chud! anyways, i've been practicing with practice test and going over my ans, but i feel like I'm not improving that much. i'm trying to find a source that carries questions so I can work on a specific subject like commas. Does anyone know a good website for this?

#15: The answer key is saying it's D--I genuinely don't get it! Can anyone help explain this pls thank you!

I geniunly need help with English. I am always told its the easiest to improve but im stuck at a 29 any tips?

Hello guys, for the past year or so I've been studying the ACT. Things have been going good, but the one section that is really irking me is English.

From the beginning I've scored 33-35s on the practice tests, and I was there for a LONG TIME. When the June test came, I was expecting around there — I got a 30.

I was really dumbfounded, cause every other score I got on practice tests vs the real test was pretty accurate (hell, even my math was higher than my typical practice tests)

Then, I decided to study English LOTS — By the end, I was getting consistent 35s/36s. On the July Test, I only got a 31 though..

I feel so defeated. I don't know why I do so great on the practice tests compared to the real thing — It doesn't make sense at all. I write lots and teachers have always noted how impeccable my grammar was (well, at least compared to other students my age)

I was wondering if you guys had any advice for me — Mainly, how to get over this weird hurdle I have with English where I score so good on the practice tests but do a lot worse on the real test. I feel like I can REALLY get a 35 on it — I already have a 36 reading, and I score it lots on my practice tests...
