<p>I took the practice English test in the ACT 36. I timed myself at 25 minutes to complete 45 questions and got 26 out of 45 correct or 57%. </p>
<p>I see what I'm getting wrong, but I am unsure how to go about this.
Do I stay on the English section for a while and study over the stuff I missed?
Do I need to learn the stuff I missed or memorize the rules of the stuff I missed?
How long do I spend on the English section? The test is in two months, September 8th.
Do I just move onto the Math section and other sections, then come back and study over the things I missed or don't understand?</p>
<p>I'm just unsure of what strategy to use to do this. I have two ACT books, both which I want to read before September 8. They're both pretty long.</p>
<p>You can study over what you’re uncertain over. If you’re uncertain about specific rules, sentence structure, or grammar, look at that. If you need a break, why not look into some math? </p>
<p>In my personal opinion, however, I used an ACT practice book just to familiarize with the test and review some math concepts (my math subscore was still horrible compared to all my other subscores). Knowledge that you’ve gained in school and over the years is what will really help you. What’s your weaker point? Math or Writing/English or Science (Science is mostly data analysis on the ACT, however)? Or do you need brushing up on both? You know yourself best.</p>
<p>Also, you can look around the College Confidential forum and see what others are saying about the ACT test.</p>
<p>Take the ACT practice tests, time yourself, and pace yourself and be familiar with the test so you’ll have an idea of what to expect come test date. And be calm, don’t panic, and relax.</p>
<p>Take practice tests in the other subjects and see where you need to improve the most, and go from there.</p>
