i would say your probably pretty good to go lol. but if your really nervous. take it again. ill bet youll improve just from knowing what to expect etc. and youll be less nervous because you already have one good score under your belt

i really hope you don't believe that paying for an act prep class "teaches you how to beat the test."  I know a lot of kids who spent a lottttt of their parents money and a lottttt of their time in act preparation but it really doesnt make much of a difference.  It really is a test of if you know your shit and if you can take standardized tests well.  I agree that it is not the best test of intellectual capability, but it gives a better idea of someone's smarts than gpa.

I'm 14 BTW. I had to take it last year so I was 13 when I took it. It was part of this program where kids who scored well on some state test dot to take a bunch of other tests and could take these special courses at certain universities. I didn't take any of the courses because they were like $2500 for a two week course.

What do you mean by that? I was taking the test with highschoolers. It was the exact same test as they were taking. It wasn't easier or anything.
