Oh yeah, I totally agree!

My school had free after school practice classes and they were super helpful, I would not have scored as high as I did without them. (I'm not a natural genius believe it or not).

ACT is tomorrow for Juniors . . . if feels so strange not having to worry about it at all compared to last year. Not that I'm more relaxed this year lol I've got tons of other big stuff to figure out. 

But at least I don't have to go to school tomorrow.

Good luck!!
BTW for all you American HS'ers, def recommend doing tutoring for both the ACT/PSAT if possible, as they're both things you can vastly improve just by knowing tips and tricks. It helped me a lot

My school had it as an elective that I didn't have room to take, but there was a senior I vaguely knew who got a 36 (and really good on the PSAT, he was a National Merit Finalist), so I did tutoring from him. 

Uh fun fact, I took the ACT 3 times (once each in 10th, 11th, and 12th grades) and got lower scores the latter two times  (Tho the first time was with tutoring)

On the reading section, always read the questions first, so you know what to look for when you go through the reading. And underline as you go
Math just the basic stuff of don't spend a long time on the ones you're unsure on, do the ones you're confident on first.
Science is basically just reading 2, so just figure out which random stuff you can ignore, and just focus on the info that is useful for the problems 
The main thing is to just take a bunch of practice tests too, so you're used to the kinds of problems there are. Ultimately there's only a few different types of questions on some different parts, tho I don't remember them all xD

So from what I've l avout ap tests for English specifically. It's really storming easy like you just need a strong thesis and a couple paragraphs and a good close and your set.

For any others I dunno. 

*takes notes* gotcha

Regardless good advice.

My mom wants me to take the ap classes or congruent enrollment classes.

I dunno tho

My friends think I should to. And also they are so i should too.

IMO it's better to do congruent enrollment classes, tho both are good. Downside to AP classes is you could do the whole class only to not pass the AP Exam, in which case you don't get any college credit. But going into college with a bunch of credits out of the way is sooo nice. College concurrent classes are guaranteed credit if you pass the class tho, so I advocate for those more.

Correct xD
You can also just do college congruent classes for basic pre-reqs, like your basic chem, bio, history, comp, etc. that you'll have to do no matter your major. Sometimes local smaller colleges will also have online classes you can take for credit, though whether your school will count it depends on your school

When i was doing registration for 10th grade i didnt see any congruent enrollment except for like agriculture or smthng like that. 

I would die in an ag class.
