How To Study for the April ACT

<p>Ok... So before i take the april act i am taking the march SAT (yes double the fun). On the SAT i am good at math and writing (700s) but my critical reading is BAD (500s). How should I study for the april ACT after the march SAT. Are there any good books for the ACT? In my case, what do you guys think my projected score will be with a little, well a lot, of practice? All of your help is appreciated!!!</p>

<p>For me, Princeton Review is the best. The tactics on it work for me!=]</p>

<p>Please HELP!!! I need more advice!!! lol</p>

<p>umm ur kinda like me, my math and writing near 700, but my reading barely hits 600. but i think the reading on the act was alot easier, and you should do fine on english and math.</p>

<p>is there any way to study for science?? Any strategies you are willing to share for any sections? Good practice books?? thanks!!</p>

<p>i only did like 2 practice tests from the real act prep book, and i think it was pretty good. well for me, i skim over the graphs and everything for like 10 seconds, then go to the questions.</p>

<p>Cool!! Thanks!</p>

<p>Any other suggestions?</p>

<p>Take tons of practice tests, there really isn’t an easy way out with the ACT. I used McGraw-Hill’s 10 ACT Practice Tests, and a couple of other outdated books from the library. Don’t stress, take one question at a time, and have a clear head that morning. For reading, I spent more time on the passages then looking over the questions, but it really depends on how strong you are at analyzing. For math, just start keeping a study sheet for simple algebraic concepts, and you’ll start seeing a pattern. For science, you’ll feel a lot more comfortable with it if you’ve taken ap bio and ap chem before, but either way I found reading the questions and then looking at the graphs/tables for the answers a great way to save time. Hope this helps!</p>

<p>Don’t read anything on science. Just go straight to the questions and find the answers. Most of the material provided is unnecessary.</p>
