Hello friends,
I have created this block to know how I should prepare for ACT test.
I am going to take my ACT in coming few months (not decided yet) but I need to prepare for the test from now. So I need some useful tips and strategies.

Please friends share if you have taken the ACT test before.

Thank you!

Hello bulky,
Since you have one month to prepare for the ACT, there is a little time for in-depth analysis of each section of the ACT.

But, I would suggest this:

Go to http://TestCircle.com It's relatively cheap, and covers extensively each section of the ACT exam and goes through what you need to know for each section. If you divide your time wisely, dedicate at least one day for each section (Math, Reading, English, and Science). Then, with your remaining free days, take the practice test that it provides.

It is easier to take the exam section by section with long breaks in between. The exam is 3 hours long, and it will wear you down! By the time you get to the Science part of the exam, which is the very last part. The test is not necessarily hard, just highly consuming mentally.

They do this on purpose, so focus on the Science exam and answering those questions quickly. There is a chance you will not finish this part, so in that case, just answer what you seems to be correct for every question you leave blank. You are NOT penalized for guessing on this test.


The TestCircle prep course is same as the format of the actual exam, but I find from personal experience that it really improves your score if you practice with harder material. It's the same things that you'll see on the actual ACT, just a little bit more thought-consuming.

Overall, just prepare with the little time you have. I'm sure you'll get a good score if you get familiarized with the test!

With Best Regards!
