<p>I am taking the ACT in 3 or so weeks and although I do need help/tips for the other sections I really need advice for the reading ACT section!!! What can I do to improve my score the quickest? I have 5-6 ACT practice books and I will be doing as many practices as I can but any other tips? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Use real tests. And time yourself. I do one section per night on school nights. On SAT or Sunday I take a whole test. I grade myself on each section. Then I redo the incorrect problems only.</p>
<p>I took tonight off to see Catching fire. It was very good.</p>
<p>Hi Vaishs-
One of my boys historically has found the reading sections of standardized tests very challenging. He improved his scores by doing 2 things a)reading the questions first-before reading the passage, and b) taking practice tests (as others have said).</p>
<p>Experiment with reading the questions first and see if that helps. This strategy is not for everyone (it slows down my other 2 kids), but it really worked well for one of my boys, so you might want to give it a try.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>That is what I have been trying to do! Thank you so much!</p>
<p>I tried this and realized that actually reading the passage before trying the questions helps me more even though it takes up some time! I tried experimenting with both ways and changing to reading the passage first really helped! Thank you!</p>
