Hello Junior!
Today is the start of a new series of tips, all about improving your test scores! Today we'll start with one section of the ACT, and continue until we complete all of them. Then, we start the SAT!
Exciting, right?
Without further ado, here are 5 tips to help you improve your ACT English score!
1. The format of the test is a bit strange when it comes to paragraph placement. Often, questions refer directly to the paragraph next to them. There will also be boxed numbers above text indicating which question it refers to. Pay careful attention to these references!
2. Don't answer questions in order because questions are NOT in order of difficulty. Do not waste time on hard questions when there are easy ones waiting for you at the end that you might not have the time to get to.
3. Time yourself when practicing. You only have 36 seconds per question--learn to use to the fullest by practicing with questions and even full-length exams.
4. Choose the "no change" option if the original truly seems correct. It's not (always) a trick.
5. Don't get frazzled by commas. Just because there is a comma in the underlined portion does NOT mean that the question is testing you on commas.
Use these tips to your advantage; I hope they will help you improve your score!
