I'm taking the ACT tomorrow, I'm in 7th grade, can anyone give me any tips?

I'm taking the ACT tomorrow, and I'm kind of nervous, is it really hard? Which section is the hardest? I think I'll do best at math, but I'm not sure about the others. I was hoping to get some tips from others who have already taken it.

    omgg im taking it tomorrow too && im also taking a prep class and these are some tips they gave us

    1. never spend time on a hard question b/c their are still easirer questionss

    2. learn to reconize easy questions and answer them first.

    3. always use a few mins profing your answer sheet.

    4. always use every minute

    5. NEVER leave anything blank.

    6. if you reach the 5min left mark pick one letter and bubble it for the rest.

    ex. if your on number 53 out of 60 pick B(or anyletter you want) and bubble it in for the rest tht part of the test. then go back and take your time trying to answer them. so that way yu want run out of time and if you do you already filled in a guess.

    7. stick with your first answer. if yu think an answer is C then keep it unless your 100% sure its not.

    8. Eat Breakfestt.

    and i never took the ACT before this is my first time as well

    and time your selff. if you no there are 60 questions and yu only get 60mins. then you gotta answer 1min per question

    and answer the questions that look easy first.

    btw. there is nothing wrong with guessingg

    oh yeah have a positive attitudee.

    andd GOOD LUCKK to you and the person abovee mee (:

    First, relax. There is nothing you can study now to increase your score. Cramming will only confuse you. Get to bed at your normal time and allow plenty of time in the morning to get ready. Drink water so you are well hydrated and eat a good dinner and breakfast.

    As far as the difficulty goes I wouldn't worry about it. There are questions on the test that most people can answer and there are questions on the test that are beyond the capability of nearly all high school students. The test only serves as a measurement of where you are on that continuum. Keep an eye on the time and remember all the hints your teachers have given you about not getting hung up on a question and losing track of time. If you have time remaining when you've finished really take a good look over your answers.

    Five years from now no one, not even you, will care how you did on your ACT. If you don't do well you'll have plenty of opportunity to improve your knowledge level later.

    I wish you the best!!

    hey! i'm taking the ACT tomorrow too! but i'm a junior, and IM FREAKING OUT. haha...but you should definitely not worry about it because you're just in 7th grade. when i was in 7th grade, i didn't finish parts of the test and was really upset. but looking back at it, it didnt matter because i was so young. however, now its for real and im worried! haha the science section is definitely the hardest. make sure you keep track of time! and ik people say cramming wont do anything for you, but if you really wanna do well at an early age, i would reccomend looking over some formulas, they'll stay fresh in your mind for tomorrow! good luck! =)
