"THE INTERNET OFFERS numerous resources for developing ACT and SAT study plans, but one source of information that high school students may overlook is former test-takers. High school seniors and college freshmen can provide firsthand insight about these exams – information that can sometimes be difficult to find in writing.
When asked, most former test-takers are open about their prior experiences with the ACT and SAT. Teammates, your siblings’ friends, neighbors and others are likely to verbally offer you advice without any hesitation. However, posting on social media can be a helpful alternative for students who prefer to inquire about these tests less directly.
