I just got my ACT results back.. and I got an 18, which is horrible. UGH, why am I so unintelligent? I don't know how to do better, I'm going to take it again when I can, but do people normally do better? Everyone says that you do, but really is that true? How can I prepare for the next time I take it? I'm just so frustrated. Ugh.. (link)

There are plenty of ACT prep books you can buy from any bookstore like Barnes and Noble. Or, you can borrow one from the library, but it might be hard to find one if everyone's checked them out. These books are huge and have a bunch of practice tests, vocab flashcards, and sample questions in them. It costs about $30. You can find discounted used books on Amazon.com or maybe even ebay.
There are tons of workshops offered where they give you test-taking tips, what to expect, practice tests. You should talk to your school counselor. I'm sure they can give you TONS of resources.
Also, if you retake the ACT, but did not study for it, then you will get the SAME SCORE. I know many people who re-took the test but kept getting the same scores. This is because they didn't do anything to improve their scores. Just make sure you give yourself enough time before retaking the test to study. Cramming does NOT work!
Maybe you can form a study group with some friends, or if there is after-school tutoring offered at your school, take advantage of it!
Good luck!
