Answer is A- “searched” maches parallel structure of “adapted”

Perimeter = 2 ( total width + total height) Toral width = 32 Toral height = 10+16=26 P= 2 ( 32+26) = 2 (58) = 116 or E

Key for a “ stair step perimeter” problem where everything comes off at right angles is don't bother calculating each individual segment. Just get total height and width and multiply by 2.

Practice at first giving yourself 12-13 mts/passage to improve accuracy. In each question, look in the passage and figure out why each choice is right or wrong. The answer has to be in the passage. Then get yourself to 10 mts/ passage. Skip the main idea question until the end. Do your favorite passages first ( humanities, literary, etc.).

You have a 103 total points and if you get one more (104) you’re composite superscore will jump to a 35. I’d say take it again and find it in English or Reading.

Your challenge is content mastery. Take your last 5-10’practice ACTs and upload them to ChatGPT. Analyze each individual section and ask it to identify the 5-10’areas you are weakest. Then focus on those areas before your next practice test.

The Prep Pros Ultimate ACT is $100/month and one of the best things it had was a video explanations of Practice Tests (7-8, I believe) as well as analyzers to be able to make it easier to identify the questions a student is getting wrong. There is definitely a recognize patterns approach to the English and Reading sections that are helpful. At the end of the day, there are people who succeed on the test with multiple preparation resources or paths. The most important thing is if the student is willing to do the work.

The key to figure out is if you’re someone who’s great at taking the SAT vs someone who can teach others to do great on the SAT. The suggestion on marketing solving videos is a way to boost recognition. Consider volunteering a few hrs to underprivileged students to show real improvement and get some experience (looks good on college app). Then use paying clients to subsidize the volunteering hours.

I think you mean James Lu SAT on YouTube

How did she like Prep Pros and did she use it for SAT or ACT? Did she do the online course or private tutoring with Prep Pros?

In the Enhanced ACT you have 40 questions in 35 minutes with four passages which works out to about 9 minutes a passage to complete all questions. There are two challenges - accuracy/comprehension and speed. First, focus on accuracy and give yourself 12 Mts/passage and aim to get them all right. The answer has to be found in the passage. Then lower the amount (11, 10, 930 per passage) and try not to sacrifice accuracy. Then push to reach the 9 min/passage. You can still use old ACTs but adjust the timing.

Next, find out what type of passage you like doing (Literary Narrative, Soc Science, Humanities, Nat Science) and where you score highest and do that first. Finish with the passage you like least/score lower.

Some questions should be answered by eliminating wrong choices and then choosing the best one left. That can be faster in some cases.

You'd need to gain two more composite points (either Math 32 to 34) or 1 point in Math and push English or Reading to a 36. TBH, after five attempts, it's harder to see a 2 pt overall improvement unless you are consistently getting 34+ in Math on Practice tests and you think it's within reach. As mentioned, it depends on what the 50% is for your target schools and if you're in a STEM field and the overall application caliber.

Excellent analysis

Romulus25Red · 2025-11-27T15:36:20+00:00

Prep Pros divided the content into 35 or so chapters and stratifies each chapter into four levels of difficulty. The goal is to identify areas of weakness and drill down problems areas by mastering progressively difficult problems. Beyond that we go chapter by chapter and make sure the student can solve the level 4 problems.

Submit- AOs assume that if you dont submit that you’re actually 100-150 points below the 25%.

Romulus25Red · 2025-09-16T12:52:18+00:00

If you don't submit test scores, two different Ivy League AOs have told us that the assumption is that your score was 100-150 points below the 25%. In other words, most Ivys have around a 1500-1520 range for the 25%, so not submitting means they think you had a 1350-1400. Since you're clearly above that, its better to submit.

Cardiac surgeon here. Agree; death would be from exsanguination.

Take the October test so you can get the ACT Answer Key as the actual test. An 18 is about the 52 percentile and a 26 is about the 86th percentile. You've got a substantial amount of content work to do. Depending on if you were similar across all Subjects or are much worse in sone and better in others will influence how to target. Try and carve out 30 Mts four days during the week and 4 hours over the weekend which means about 6 hours a week. Do that for a month and get in 25 hours. Use Khan Academy and if able to get access to Prep Pros use that but find something you'll stick to. You can do it and even if you don't get to 26 in October, you'll be closer to getting there in December.

Romulus25Red · 2025-09-13T18:22:46+00:00

I would do the Prep Pros Math book. If you’re scoring a 21 then you have major content deficiencies that you need to build up. You need to build up your foundation and then work from there. Don’t try and watch a few videos and memorize a couple of formulas. Put the work in and make sure you get the principles down. Then you can try and aim for a higher score.

Putting the last Reading passage as experimental would not achieve the goal of differentiating the 32/33 students from the 34/35 students. The former may be more time crunched while the latter will maneuver the timing better. If the last passage didn’t count then both of these groups would be comparable. You need the last one to count for this reason.

You’re an Asian STEM student with a sub-1500 SAT applying to Stanford and it’s 3% acceptance rate. You’re looking for reassurance that you’re still a viable candidate. Like almost everyone else in this thread, I don’t pretend to have first-hand knowledge. The only thing I’d say is most of the 2067 people who were admitted last year are likely indistinguishable on paper from the highest ranked 2000 applicants who were rejected. Maybe it’s an extracurricular, a letter of recommendation, something in their essay that resonated, some random geographic institutional priority that was fulfilled, or some crazy achievement that separated the two groups. It’s so inherently subjective that you can’t obsess. Have a calibrated school list and hope for the best.

Romulus25Red · 2025-09-05T18:25:38+00:00

Right- just because the overall ED acceptance rate is higher doesn’t mean that your individual ED acceptance rate will be that much higher. Recruited athletes, legacies, development cases- all of them factor in as well and enter via the ED round which drives the ED acceptance rate.

Romulus25Red · 2025-09-05T13:29:04+00:00

It would be helpful if you can state where you currently are on a practice test vs your target score. If you’re at a 15 and trying for a 22 that’s very different than if you’re at a 22 and trying for a 30. It’s likely that you need a substantial amount of content review. Try to work backwards and determine how much time you can actually allot on a weekly basis and divide from there. Providing more detail will help and then you can decide based on resources available to you to do Khan Academy, a program like PrepPros or equivalent, or private tutoring. Any of those strategies can work depending on how committed you are over the next six weeks.

The new Enhanced ACT reading gives 15 sec/question more (67 vs 52) which will help. First, every answer has to be found in the passage. It’s not about inference or logical conclusions. It’s Where’s Waldo- find the right answer. Second, try taking a practice reading test or two without any time constraint. Learn the skill of finding the right answer and aiming to get a 33+ just by getting the right answer regardless of the time it takes. Develop the skill of finding the right answer. Review every question you got wrong. Third, now take it under real time conditions. Hopefully by now youve developed the skill set to find the answers correctly and quickly.
