<p>Hello! I'm currently a Freshman at my high school. I've been curious what subjects exactly cover the ACT. I took the English and Mathematics parts from a legit practice test. Obviously, I didn't do too well on them (English: 22, Math: 24), when mostly compared to the level of colleges I may wish to attend.</p>
<p>I want to know some sort of way I can grow accustom to standardized tests such as the ACT so then on test day I do great on it. Any sort of tips would be great, too.</p>
<p>Honestly, just reading some ACT prep books can help a lot. You should also see if your school offers any ACT prep classes. My school offered one for free and I got a 26 composite on the diagnostic test and ended up getting a 28 on the real thing.</p>
<p>@m=Mythic, Honestly just doing practice tests and review should be good enough for you to get your score up. </p>
<p>English: Get the Princeton Cracking The Act 2012 Edition and go through the grammar rules, they are really helpful. Then go to this website: [ACT</a> SparkNotes Test Prep: Punctuation](<a href=“SparkNotes: Today's Most Popular Study Guides”>SparkNotes: Today's Most Popular Study Guides) and go through all the rules (a little more in-depth). I went from a 27 English to a 35 doing this in a few weeks.</p>
<p>Math: Get the McGraw Hill book that has 10 practice tests. After reading through the Prince ton math section, just tackle some of these tests and fix/learn whatever you got wrong. I did this and went from a 26-35.</p>
<p>Reading: I did well on the reading section from the start so I don’t have any tips. When you are reading the passage MAKE SURE you understand it. </p>
<p>Science: Just pay attention and make sure you understand what everything means. Practice makes perfect in this section. </p>
<p>Then get the red book and just do the tests, see where you are and what you need to still learn, and go from there. </p>
<p>I did this and I went from a 27 Composite (Soph) to a 35 Composite (Junior) so hopefully it will help you out too!</p>
