<p>I'm going to take the ACT test with my whole class of juniors at school tommorow. I was wondering when i look at the post, what makes english the easiest because i think english is somewhat hard. Can you tell me what you do to get a good score on english. Well, my test is tommorow, that's all i have to worry. And I'm taking the test in June also.</p>
<p>Don't make it too hard; the simple answers are often the right answers. Also, read each question carefully. Sometimes the question will ask for you to choose a word to replace an underlined word; other times it might ask you which word will NOT work in place of the underlined word.</p>
<p>Yes, always choose the best SHORTEST answer. That doesn't mean the shortest answer, but if two is correct, choose the shorter or simplier one. Also, watch our for two words that mean the same thing. They do that atleast once or twice. Ex: The initial first answer is....</p>
<p>Initial and first have the same basic meaning. So you would OMIT the underlined word.</p>
<p>Also, if the way it is written is correct, leave it! Don't second guess yourself b/c one in the answer choices is also correct. If it's correct as it is, makes sense, goes with the tone etc. then choose it. To be certain, look at the answer choice that it gives that is correct, and see what different from the original answer. If it's just re-worded, pick F. NO CHANGE.</p>
<p>Ones that you are confused about, mark a star in your test booklet and come back in the end if you have time. A lot of times, when you see it the second time later, it will click which one is right.</p>
<p>Hope that helps. Good luck!</p>
<p>^ Best advice there is IMO.</p>
<p>The ACT isn't tricky. (the vast majority of the time)</p>
<p>Don't look for more in the questions than is there.</p>
<p>The ACT English doesn't test on what 'sounds' the best. It's almost entirely technical. This is one of the reasons you'll see a lot of questions like 'Which of the following words does NOT belong?' rather than 'Which of the following words BEST fits in the sentence'.</p>
