Evidence-Based Score Analysis

I took the ACT in April. I received a composite score of 32, which is plenty high enough for the schools I want to attend. I reached this score with a variety of techniques, studying, and knowledge. Of course, I could always improve my scores, especially my Math score. Overall, I was successful on the ACT and I am happy with my scores. I was given a composite score of 32 on the ACT when I took it in April. In Science, I received a score of 35.

Because of my ADHD, I could also have applied for a time extension that would have helped me on the Math section. Considering how much I already studied the math before the test, I'm not sure how much more I could have gotten my Math score to go
