ACT help

Do you have any advice for studying the English and Reading Section in the ACT?

I am very strong at Math and science, but I am struggling most with the English part.

I learned the rules, but sometimes I do some silly mistakes and I really don't want to make them in the exam.

What do you think of these websites too:

1. https://uniontestprep.com/act

2. https://www.varsitytutors.com/practice-tests

3. crackab.com/

Should I practice from them?

Hi @Michael_Naeim00!

Do you struggle with English conceptually or are you just concerned about silly mistakes?

Silly mistakes

@Anonymous123a year ago

You need to figure out what's causing the silly mistakes. Are you running out of time and hastily answering? Is your mind drifting off in between? Are you not reading the question carefully enough?

[🎤 AUTHOR]@Michael_Naeim00a year ago [edited]

Yeah, It's mostly about drifting between two rules, then choosing the wrong one, which means that sometimes I know the question and what rule I should use, but I will use it randomly between the two answers.

@Anonymous123a year ago [edited]

Sample questions should help you determine when to use a particular rule. When solving, make a note of the questions that you get stuck with and remember what rule should have been used. The thing with standardized tests is that question formats rarely change. If you're familiar with a large variety of questions, you'll perform better.

Hope this helps!
