ACT Tip 6: The Test Book is Yours USE IT!!!!!

For some reason students think the ACT test booklet should be turned in looking the same way that it did when it was given to them. The test booklet should not be blank when you turn it in it should be used for scratch paper and full of writing from where you have worked out problems or used the process of elimination to come up with an answer. You should also mark on the test booklet when you want to return to a question. Place some sort of distinct mark on the booklet showing that you need to return to that question and I would even dog ear the page to know that I need to return to that particular page. The ACT Test booklet is your booklet so use it. That means write ALL OVER it!

Happy Testing!!!!!

ACT Tip 5: Avoid Carelessness

In any testing situation there are a few things that cause careless mistakes and it is easy to avoid making these types of mistakes. The first thing you want to do is take your time. The ACT test writers write the tests for test takers who rush through the tests so keep that in mind. We all know that the ACT is a timed test however that does not mean that you rush through the test. Make sure you take your time and answer questions carefully as well as mark your answers in the correct place on the answer key.

Another reason for carelessness is because of frustration. A lot of times when we get frustrated our attitude towards the test changes and we have a feeling of defeat. If you feel this was take a quick second to regroup and start again and either skip the question that caused the frustration and come back to it or guess and keep moving. You can even mark the question in your test booklet and come back to it. 

Happy Testing!!!!

ACT Tip 4: Start with the Easy Questions First

With the ACT all test questions are weighed the same so it is better if you answer all of the easy questions first. You do this because the easier questions are typically less time-consuming and then spend the extra time needed to work on the harder questions. This will allow you to rack up extra points because you have properly answered the easiest questions correctly and gained the points for doing so (at least we hope you have answered them correctly).

ACT Tip 3: Memorize the Directions

ACT Test directions have not changed for a number of years (at least 20 because I took it for the first time 20 years ago). So we suggest as you practice the ACT during your prep time that you memorize the directions. You will get time to read directions during the test if you need to however it is time that is taken away from your test time. So if you take five minutes to read the directions that is five less minutes you have to work on the tests. If you already know the directions there is no need to read them.

Happy Testing!!!!!

ACT Tip 2: Answer Every Question

One of the biggest misconceptions of the ACT is that it works just like the SAT but the rules are completely different. When you are taking the ACT make sure that you ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS!!!!!

Unlike the SAT you are not penalized for guessing on the ACT. Yes you are penalized for guessing on the SAT. So when in doubt guess and run.

Happy Testing!!!!!

ACT Tip1: Keep Calm

The worse thing as a student that you can do is stress over the ACT test. We all aware of how important it is but the more you stress the more anxiety you cause. The worse thing a parent can do is continuously remind the student of how important the test is. Students are more aware than you know about the importance of the ACT so as the slogan says Keep Calm and Take the ACT Test. On the day of the test remember to take it easy and give yourself plenty of time to wake up, get ready, have breakfast and get to the test center. Then do whatever needs to be done to remain calm, meditate, breathe, just calm down and give it your best shot.
