Need Advice on ACT Practice English Questions

Hey everyone! I'm working on improving my English score on the ACT and I was wondering if any of y'all have any suggestions for resources with good practice questions? What helped you the most?

Hey! It's fantastic that you're working on improving your English score on the ACT. I have some suggestions for resources that might help you with practice questions.

First and foremost, make sure to use the official ACT practice test resources, such as the ones on the ACT website. Working through these official practice tests will give you a solid sense of the types of questions you'll encounter on the actual exam.

For more practice, consider exploring Khan Academy, which offers free online resources, including instructional videos, articles, and practice exercises. While Khan Academy does not have specific ACT content, their resources on English grammar and writing can still be valuable in helping you build the foundational skills necessary to tackle the ACT English section.

Additionally, the College Board's Bluebook™ app, which is primarily designed for the new digital SAT, might still be a useful resource to familiarize yourself with question styles, as there is some overlap between SAT Writing and Language and ACT English questions.

Besides this, there are numerous ACT prep books available in the market. Some popular options include the Princeton Review's "Cracking the ACT" series and Kaplan's "ACT Prep" books. They typically provide strategies, practice questions, and full-length practice tests that can help you hone your skills.

As you work through practice questions, be sure to review not only the questions you got wrong but also the ones you got right. This will help you understand why certain answer choices are correct and others are not. Don't forget to time yourself when you're practicing because speed is an important aspect of the ACT.

Lastly, work on developing a solid understanding of grammar and punctuation rules, and focus on identifying sentence and paragraph structures to eliminate incorrect answer choices more effectively. Combining these strategies with consistent practice will help you increase your ACT English score. Good luck!
