<p>Hey, the english part was my worst area after taking my first ACT. I need to get this up if I am to hope for a better score. So if you have any tips or good things to study or some nice strategies please share.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Know subject-verb agreement and singular versus plural. </p>
<p>Also, the key to the English section is knowing that the shortest answer is usually right.</p>
<p>if im not sure between two answers would it be smart to go with the shorter one</p>
<p>Pretty much. The shorter answer is overwhemingly right.</p>
<p>Yep, they emphasize conciseness.</p>
<p>Cool, that can help me a lot since I find myself guessing between things sometimes. Any other nifty tricks?</p>
<p>Can you guys give an example of being more concise when choosing in answer, this seems to be a little vague for me, so an example would be great.</p>
<p>EXAMPLE</p>
<p>Urban legends have some characteristic features. They are often humorous in nature with a surprise ending and a conclusion.</p>
<p>F. NO CHANGE
G. ending.
H. ending, which is a conclusion.
J. ending or conclusion. </p>
<p>The correct answer would be G because it is not repetitive.</p>
<p>Oh ok, I see. Thanks</p>
<p>Really just overlook your grammar
I went from a 25 to a 33 in english in 1 test
just by spending a few hours looking at the grammar section of the PR book</p>
