Remember, your study time is an integral part of the test preparation process – we can’t improve your scores without your help! Here’s what we recommend to maximize your study time:

• Prepare a study calendar. Plan what time each day you will study, and stick to it! Don’t try to cram too much as the test approaches; instead, stretch your studying out to maximize your learning.
• Take note of your strengths and weaknesses. Study for all sections of the exam, but focus the majority of your time on your weak areas. Decide how much time you will spend on each subject, and include this in your study plan.
• Take practice tests to get a good feel for the structure and content of the exam.
• Pay attention to time! Learn how long you will have for each section, and time yourself when you take practice exams. Plan how quickly you need to move through the questions, and then practice until you are comfortable working at that pace.

Remember, the more focused and organized you are about your ACT test practice (and studying in general!) the better your results will be. By practicing each aspect of the test that you can anticipate, you are also far more likely to feel confident and comfortable on the day of your exam.
