Getting Plenty of Practice Although the best way to prepare for the ACT is to take rigorous high school classes and do well in them, it also helps to know the test format and types of questions that will be asked so that there are no surprises on test day. Your level of comfort in taking the ACT also plays an important role in how well you will do, and the best way to build that confidence is by taking practice tests. Practice tests help you mentally prepare for the ACT and identify strengths and areas of needed improvement that should be addressed in order to improve test performance. For example, if time runs out while you're taking a practice test, then you need to work on pacing. Practice tests also are good indicators of areas where you excel and which subject areas may need further study before taking the ACT. Three Ways to Get the Most Out of Your ACT Practice Tests Take Note Write notes in the practice test to highlight key details, or work out a problem on paper. Stay in the Lines Mark answers on the answer sheet carefully, and write the essay neatly and in the correct place in the practice test (essay must be written using a soft-lead pencil). Pick One Make sure only one answer is marked on the answer sheet for each question and that there are no stray marks. Check Your Math Check math calculations using scratch paper or the permitted calculator. Make a Guess Answer all the questions on the answer sheet—using logic to eliminate incorrect answer choices if unsure, since you will not be penalized for guessing on the test. Divide and Conquer Divide the available time per section by the number of questions (if you have 60 minutes to complete 60 math questions, then plan to spend one minute on each question). If you're taking the writing test, divide your time into planning, writing, and then revising the essay. Get a Head Start Review the directions ahead of time to prevent wasting time during the actual test. Read with Care Read each question carefully to avoid preventable errors. Circle Back Tackle the easy questions first and then go back to the more difficult questions if time allows (mark a skipped question on the practice test, not the answer sheet, to quickly refer back later).
