ACT Reading Discussion

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hello everyone! I started prepping a few days ago for the ACT. I have a ~2200 on SAT. I thought discussing reading questions would be useful. I looked at my first reading section today. I've noticed that it's much more onerous than SAT CR - but in some ways easier as the questions are much more straightforward.</p>

<p>This is what I looked at: <a href="http://achievementcenter.wikispaces.com/file/view/ACT+booklet+2007+2008.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://achievementcenter.wikispaces.com/file/view/ACT+booklet+2007+2008.pdf&lt;/a>
This is an official practice test. And yeah I was too lazy to print it out or anything so I just looked at it on the screen while timing myself...</p>

<p>The key is at the end. </p>

<p>Aside from discussing the specific answers on this test, does anyone have any useful advice of their own to offer to a greenhorn? :) Any discrepancies in terms of strategy/though-process I should know about between SAT and ACT? Or are they pretty much the same?</p>

<p>These are the answers I got:
Passage 1 (Prose Fiction):
1.B
2.J
3.C
4.F
5.C
