What is the best way to prep for the ACT?

<p>Just wondering what the best tips are for improving the ACT score?</p>

<p>Practice tests, plain and simple.</p>

<p>I used 1,296 Princeton Review questions then saved the Red Book as the test date got closer so I could get a more accurate guess as to what score I was aiming for/likely to get.</p>

<p>It’s better to spend more time on the sections you need to improve rather than the one’s you’re already good at.
I’d say all sections besides reading are able to be readily improved by at least 3-5 points with sufficient prep.
There’s quite a bit of good advice as far as specific sections here if you search for it.</p>

<p>This is all just off the top of my head, I might have some better advice if you have subscores already.
Have you taken a practice test or a real one yet? </p>

<p>That is the problem I currently face too. Much procrastination because I just don’t know how to study. For example, English can be studies with application and rules, and math can be familiarized and learnt (like trigonometry). However, how about Reading and Science?</p>

Reading:
Method 1: Try skimming through the reading passage quickly and then answer the questions
Method 2: Skip the passage and go to the questions. Then go back to the passage to try and find answers</p>

<p>Science:
Haven’t practiced this yet so not sure</p>

<p>Just practice practice practice with a little more practice.
Make sure you are finding the most current tests as well so you know they are closer to the test administered today. Doing the practice tests and reviewing them will sharpen your skills on each section anddddd will allow you to develop your test strategies with time management and such.
Example: My first practice test I took for Math I got a 29, second one I took I got a 33. The more familiar you get with the test and its contents, the better you will do,plain and simple.</p>

<p>Though I am a novice myself in this field, I believe solving a couple of official practice tests and deeply analyzing them is a good way. As you know there are not many official practice tests as would be in the case of SAT. I spend most of the time trying out various strategies on the same test when my memory of the test content kinda withers out. Though some questions will be familiar, it is quite okay for trying out strategies. After about a couple of tests, I scored on the recent one a composite 33.</p>

<p>But i guess essays are something you can so daily for writing topics are nearly limitless</p>
