How to Do Well on the ACT Standardized Test

Step 1) Set a DATE when you are going to take the ACT standardized test. You should set it at least 1 month away so that you have ample time to study. Go to your local bookstore to pick up a book on the ACT. Real ACT, Mcgraw-Hill, Princeton Review, and Kaplan all make preparation books for the ACT.

Step 2) Take a PRACTICE TEST from the back of the ACT just as if you would be taking the real ACT. Have your mom, dad, friend, etc. proctor time you while you take it to keep you honest. Have 2 pencils ready and a calculator on hand.

Step 3) GRADE your practice test. Based on the results you received on your ACT practice test, design a curriculum for yourself on the parts you are having the most difficulty with first and moving toward the parts you are having the least difficulty with last.

Step 4) Set a GOAL for yourself on what you want to get on the ACT. Do you need to improved 3 points? 6 points? etc? to get into the college you want to go to. Work hard to achieve that goal based on the curriculum you designed for yourself.

Step 5) Take a practice test at the end to see if you have achieved that goal of point improvement. If you have not achieved your point increase objective, make modifications to your curriculum. If all else fails and you do poorly when you take the real ACT, you can always take it again.
