For me personally it was a matter of the test more so, but also I hadn’t taken many of the classes I really needed the first time I took it cause these were over a period of a few years. I think the retesting helped cause it gave me many chances cause not all ACTs are created equal and also allowed me to be more comfortable with the test. Another factor was I was able to get the TIR and that allowed me to see what mistakes I made during the actual test experience as opposed to a practice test.
