While this is a standalone practice test, ACT includes helpful hints and test-taking strategies, as well as an additional complete practice ACT in the document Preparing for the ACT. These practice tests include “retired”  \nquestions from earlier test subjects given on previous test dates at ACT test centers. Also featured are a practice writing test, a sample answer document, answer keys, and selfscoring instructions.  \nRead this document carefully and take the practice test well before test day. That way, you will be familiar with the test format, test subjects and what they measure, and strategies you can use to do your best on test day.  \nYou may also want to consider The Official ACT® Self-Paced Course, Powered by Kaplan® to learn test content and strategies in a virtual classroom.

All rights reserved. Page 1 of 70 QU00002-2 .CJ23392  \nOverview of the ACT  \nThe ACT test consists of three multiple-choice sections—English, mathematics, and reading. Students may opt to take an optional multiplechoice science section and/or an optional writing section. Some colleges and universities require or accept ACT science or writing scores, so you may consider taking the science and writing sections.  \n\n| Test | Questions | Minutes per Test |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n\nEnglish 50 (40 scored) 35  Mathematics 45 (41 scored) 50  Reading 36 (27 scored) 40  Science (optional) 40 (34 scored) 40  Writing (optional) 1 essay 40   \nEach of the multiple-choice sections will include some embedded field test items that will not be included in your score. The results of the embedded field test items help develop future test questions. These items are not labeled, so you will not know which items contribute to your score. You should try your best on all items.  \nTaking the Practice Tests  \nIt is a good idea to take the practice tests under conditions as similar as possible to those you will experience on test day. The following tips will help you:  \nz If you are taking the ACT (without science or writing), the three multiple-choice tests require 2 hours 20 minutes to complete. Take them in order, in one sitting, with a 10-to-15-minute break between Tests 2 and  \n3. If you take the ACT + science, the four multiple-choice sections of the test require 3 hours, with a 10-to 15-minute break between Tests 2 and 3.  \nz You will need only sharpened, soft lead No. 2 pencils and good erasers. Remove all other items from your desk. You will not be allowed to use unapproved scratch paper, but you can use the test booklet to make notes.  \nz If you plan to use a permitted calculator on the mathematics test, use the same one you will use on test day.  \nz Use a digital timer or clock to time yourself on each practice test. Set your timer for five minutes less than the time allowed for each test so you can get used to the verbal announcement of five minutes remaining.  \nz Give yourself only the time allowed for each test.  \nz Detach and use the sample answer document on pages 54–61.  \nz Read the test directions on the first page of each multiple-choice test. These are the same directions that will appear in your test booklet on test day.  \nz Start your timer and begin with Test 1. Continue through Test 4, if taking the optional science section, or end after Test  \n3 if you are not taking the science section. taking a 10-to-15-minute break between Tests 2 and 3.
