3 Effective Tips to Ace ACT

by Ashish Kumar Consultants

To start with, congratulations to all the students for your decision of taking your education a step ahead. Your teachers and counselors might have probably coached and trained you for ACT prep in Bowie. Maybe now you are wondering ‘Are there any shortcuts or tricks that will help me during the actual test?’ What are some things that you all must know about?

Well, effective test strategies and some awareness will definitely help you approach the test with greater confidence for achieving a good score. Some tips apply to the test as a whole; however some are more specific to the subject being tested. So let us move ahead with some of the best tips!

 

·         Practice makes a person Perfect

Practice is the highest and the most effective strategy for Act prep in Bowie. However, a list of test-taking strategies is just useless if you don’t practice them at first. Practice makes you familiar with the instructions for each section so that instead of reading instructions, you can jump right into the questions to make the best use of your test time. Moreover, practicing more and more can help you gain awareness of your strengths and weaknesses. It will not only help you improve your weak areas, but also you will come to know about the time management.

 

·         Make a Solid Time Management Plan before you test

Some things to consider in your time management plan include:

Ø  How much time you spend on each question?

Ø  How will you manage answering harder questions and the remaining questions when time runs short?

Ø  How will you know you are staying on the right track time-wise?

 

·         Use a Graphing Calculator for the Math Test

ACT allows calculators, but make sure yours is legal by reviewing the official calculator that states:

“Examinees might use any 4-function, scientific, or graphing calculator, as long it is not on the prohibited list and it is modified, if required’.

Remember, your calculator will be the most useful thing to you during the last third of the test, which consists of geometry and a few trigonometry questions. You just have to be aware of the primary function keys, and know how to utilize them effectively. And when in doubt, you can test answers on your calculator by plugging the equations with the best guessing answers.

 

And as you all know that the writing test is an optional choice so for those who will be taking it, the writing testers need to focus on their ideas, development, and the language use.  All the Best!
