How exactly does one go over a practice test?

<p>Hey CC
I've been taking practice tests and going over the ones I got wrong by reading the responses in the back. However, I don't feel like I'm maturing I'm any way. How exactly does one actually review their practice test?</p>

<p>A good way is to go through and mark all the ones you get wrong. Then do all those questions again. This will determine which we’re “stupid mistakes” and which you really didn’t know. The ones that you get wrong twice are your problem areas. Read the back of the book about the problem. If you still don’t understand exactly how to do the question, go online and look up the concept and learn it. This strategy worked for me and I got a 34.</p>

<p>@bparker253 you are a life saver. Thanks so much.</p>

<p>@Bparker253 that would work for English and math but what about the reading and science areas</p>

<p>Same process, but instead of looking up the concept, practice just single sections while timing yourself. For example: you do poorly on the humanities passage. Find a humanities passage and do the 10 questions in 8 minutes. If you did poorly on a scientist comparison, do that section in 5 minutes ( I’m not positive it’s 5 minutes).</p>

<p>don’t take practice tests. i took the ACT blind and got a 34. just be brave</p>

<p>Don’t just go over the ones you got wrong - make sure you mark the ones that you guessed on or weren’t sure about. That way you can figure out the ones you got right based on luck / good guessing rather than knowledge.</p>
