 ACT Tips and Test Prep 

 

The ACT college readiness assessment is a test over information you either have learned or will learn in high school. You could review old material you learned on your own, create a study group with friends, or take advantage of the materials provided by the ACT for test preparation. Below you will find a link to the test preparation section of the ACT website and some quick tips for test day.

 

  • Get rest the night before! Staying up to cram the night before could make you tired and unable to focus the morning of the test.

  • Eat a good healthy breakfast.

  • Arrive early to the test, being late and in a rush could increase test anxiety.

  • Read directions carefully.

  • Pace yourself. The test is timed, don't rush but don't spend too much time on one question.

  • Don't leave anything blank! Take educated guesses and rule out wrong answers.
