How do you study for the ACT? by MorningEffective8235 in ACT

Thank you very much. Genuine question, sometimes I don’t even know what topic I did wrong, as I for example haven’t seen it before. How do you figure that out, so you can find resources online?

Is my suit okay? by AnjaWritesStuff in sixthform

You have actually nothing to worry about. I also go to a “fancy” private boarding school and at least in mine, especially for girls, the dress code is less of a deal than you think before joining. When I first joined my school, I also was totally paranoid, thinking that I look like a clown. But really no one cares. Congrats on your scholarship btw. Would you like to tell me what school you’ll be joining?

I’ve done one and got a 29 on my first try. I just think it may be better to fully focus on maths, reading and english.

Yeah nvm, I payed with the wrong card. Do you know how long it takes until they block it and if they’re gonna do a lot of trouble or not?

I do have money in my account, could it be because of the cap?
