ACT prep
Many of the questions on the ACT will deal with things you already know. Therefore, one of the most effective ways to prepare for the test is to familiarize yourself with the format of the exam and the types of questions that may be asked. You can get a detailed explanation of the subject matter that will be addressed on the exam by visiting the official ACT site and exploring the pages dealing with each of the test sections. Then, you should brush up on each of the topics you may encounter on the exam. For the math section, these topics might include algebra, trigonometry, geometry, and numerous others. Once you're confident you possess the knowledge you will need to do well on the test, work through some sample questions. These will show you how the questions on the actual exam will be worded and precisely how you are expected to respond. This will be a huge advantage on test day because you won't have to waste a lot of valuable time reading instructions or familiarizing yourself with the format of the examAnother thing you should do as part of the ACT prep process is to take the PLAN test. More commonly known as the "pre-ACT," this test is scored in almost the same way as the ACT. The questions are similar, and taking this test can help you gauge how prepared you actually are for the ACT and the type of score you can expect to receive. If you intend to take the PLAN test, you should make arrangements to do so during your sophomore year.
