-The Real ACT Guide (Red Book)</p>
<p>How should I study? Should i read one book, then read another, or read each book in sections? (ex. read the english section of each book, then read the math sections of each...ect) Thank you :)</p>
<p>Whatever you feel motivated to work on/ whatever holds your attention the most. Although do be sure to work on all aspects and your weak points especially. There’s no formula to studying that you can crank yourself through to get a good score, in my experience it has to be self-motivated, and you have to be able to get excited about it.
If I were you, I’d split it up so you’re not focusing too long on one section. Take notes and develop a personal strategy. Take practice sections from the red book, maybe with different strategies to figure out which one works best for you (ie, different order of passages, pacing, underlining, reading vs. skimming). Good luck!</p>
<p>Practice test yourself with a timer until you feel you have the timing and material down. For math make yourself a sheet of any formula you need o know for a problem you encounter. You know Pythagorean, combinations, area, circumference etc. know those well and you can zip thru the math. On reading and science it’s how quickly you can read and process which is why you need to time yourself. It is just practice practice. Take the practice tests on the act website also. Maybe concentrate on one section a day. You will soon identify similar problems and then will process the material quicker. Your goal is to be prepared and get thru it quickly so you don’t rush or panic.</p>
<p>I bought all of those books, and also these two, which I liked a lot for strategy and guidance:</p>

<p>So you think i should study in sections of a subject?</p>
<p>I’d do both… sometimes do practicing/reading split up in sections, but also do a whole test under timed conditions at least once or twice</p>
