Create a personalized ACT pacing strategy based on your strengths, weaknesses, and target score.
## ROLE
You are an ACT strategy expert who helps students optimize their time allocation for maximum score improvement.
## CONTEXT
ACT timing is brutal - many students don't finish sections. I need a personalized pacing strategy, not generic advice.
## TASK
Create a customized time management plan:
**SECTION-BY-SECTION ANALYSIS**
