<p>My son has taken the SATs and is going to take the ACTs on Saturday. He did some prep for the SATs but has not even seen a sample ACT test. Is this a bad idea? Should he maybe go to a website and look at least at the format for the test? More prep than that?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>YES to format and timing…please have him do a sample test, especially the science section (timing issue)…most recommend reading the questions first and then going to the charts/passages to find the answers…</p>
<p>EDIT: can’t believe this website is doing this again; I obviously posted after you but it printed above…</p>
<p>Thank you for the quick response. Since we’re not going to buy another book…is there a website he can use for a quick prep?</p>
<p>Yeah…noticed that too…lol…</p>
<p>you may want to look around CC for one of those; I don’t know of a website with ACT sample tests, but I’m sure someone else does.</p>
<p>SparkNotes is popular among “free test prep” seekers. geek_son found it helpful for SAT prep, didn’t try it for the ACT, but here’s a link.
