You have less than 5 hours per week to study, so your study plan will help you make goal-directed decisions about what to prioritize. Organize your schedule on a weekly basis so you can build a foundation in English, Math, and Reading to complement your Science skills.  \nHow to Use Your Study Plan: Each week, the Recommended chapters cover the topics that are worth the most points on the ACT, so be sure to prioritize those items. To make your prep as efficient as possible, choose Optional items that best fit your study needs and schedule. If you fall behind or don’t have 8 full weeks to study, be sure to prioritize the Recommended items.
