Biggest part is that anxiety will hurt, not help. So just relax and focus. Here are my tips:
You should study well in advance. Pick your weakest subject first, work on that a couple weeks, take practice tests, etc. Then the next-weakest subject, & so on. Keep refreshing your memory of the subjects you already did. There are a TON of free online practice tests on the internet, just Google them!
Don't be afraid to get some tutoring.
Don't worry if you'll have to take it again, just focus on this time.
Remember what you had difficulty with on the last test? Remember any questions? Work on them! Use your past experience to your advantage!
The MOST IMPORTANT thing to remember is that is is almost exclusively a multiple- choice test. So if you get stuck, use logic!
Also, the ACT works by giving you 1 point for a correct answer, or 0 for a blank or wrong. You don't get penalized for wrong answers so NEVER EVER leave any answers blank, even if you have to guess.
These guidelines are what I lived by my senior year and it got me my 33. If you have a basic knowledge and good logic, you can find the answers (though that is NOT an excuse to not study :-P ) good luck!
Is it normal I haven't made a high score on the ACT for college?
