Work on pacing - reading each passage in 8 minutes or less. This is CRITICAL to your success on the test. You MUST read the passages at a faster than usual pace and read the entire passage BEFORE answering the questions to avoid unnecessary mistakes in judgement.
Also, if you have a copy of the REAL ACT, practice identifying the first 4 question types:
Watch the videos as often as needed.
ACT Question Types - Detail and Deductive Questions
Deductive Questions, continued and Main Idea
ACT Structure Questions
Pacing Strategies
General Reading Strategies on the ACT
REMEMBER,
- 1/3 of the questions will be Detail questions.
- Deductive Questions are "Inference" Questions.
- Focus on the BIG IDEAS, not the minor details. Read and reread the first and second paragraphs, as needed, to get the gist or the main idea
