3 Effective Tips to Ace ACT
by Ashish Kumar ConsultantsTo 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!
