Have you taken the ACT yet? If you
haven’t I would totally recommend studying for the ACT. It has been shown on
this website that studying for the
ACT helps people receive better scores. The best way to study for the ACT is to
take practice tests to see what the questions could be like.
You make ask, “How do you study for
the ACT?” Well there are many different tools to use to study. The best study
tool I think is the ACT website. It
gives you hints on how to take the test. Also the best part of the website is
there are practice tests for each section; reading, English, science, and math.
Another tool you could use are the
ACT test prep booklets that have practice tests included with answer keys. Using
a booklet allows it to be a lot more realistic to how it would be on the actual
test. I say that because you don’t take the test on the computer, you take it
on paper.
I have taken the ACT once before
earlier this year and I didn’t do my best. I thought it would be a good idea to
take the test without studying and then seeing what I need to work on. I would
say not to do that. I think the first time you take the ACT, you should study
for it many days prior to the test day. I am currently signed up to take the
ACT again in April. I really do hope that I receive a better score by at least
four.
I know that it is hard to sit down
and study for something but this test is really important. It basically allows
you to get into college. If you don’t receive a good enough score you could not
be accepted. You may think the best thing to do is to take the ACT the first
time without studying so you could see what you need to improve on or study
more on, but I would not do this. Why not study the first time and receive a
good enough score that allows you to not have to take it again? I wish I had
done that.

Tip: Each year, ACT publishes a booklet titled "Preparing for the ACT." It contains, among other things, an official and complete ACT test (one that has been "retired"). This is more reliable example than the "facsimile tests" provided by the test prep companies. If you haven't received a copy from ACT, get one from your counseling office.
