Included in this booklet are complete practice tests—“retired” ACT questions that were administered to students on a national test date , including a writing prompt—a sample answer document , answer keys , and self-scoring instructions.  \nRead this booklet carefully and take the practice tests well before test day so you will be familiar with the tests , what they measure , and the strategies you can use to do your best on test day.  \n[Go to](Go to www.actstudent.org/testprep for additional ACT test)[ www.actstudent.org/testprep](Go to www.actstudent.org/testprep for additional ACT test)[ for additional ACT test](Go to www.actstudent.org/testprep for additional ACT test)[ ](Go to www.actstudent.org/testprep for additional ACT test)preparation materials , including ACT Online Prep™ , The Real ACT Prep Guide, sample questions , and the Question of the Day.  \nACT is committed to representing the diversity of our society in all its aspects , including race , ethnicity , and gender. Thus , test passages , questions , and writing prompts are deliberately chosen to reflect the range of cultures in our population.  \nWe also are committed to ensuring that test questions and writing prompts are fair—that they do not disadvantage any particular group of examinees. Extensive reviews of the fairness of test materials are rigorously conducted by both ACT staff and external consultants. We also employ statistical procedures to help ensure that our test materials do not unfairly affect the performance of any group.  \nNote: Since the ACT is a curriculum-based achievement test , we periodically conduct research and update our tests accordingly to ensure our test content continues to reflect classroom instruction and remains a relevant predictor of college and career readiness. As a result , you may notice subtle differences between this practice test and the test you actually take on test day.  \n1 General Preparation  \nfor the ACT Tests  \nGeneral Test-Taking Strategies for the ACT  \nThe ACT contains multiple-choice tests in four areas: English , Mathematics , Reading , and Science. Each of these tests contains questions that offer either four or five answer choices from which you are to choose the correct , or best , answer. The following suggestions apply to all four tests:  \nPace yourself.  \nThe time limits set for each test give nearly everyone enough time to finish all the questions. However , because the English , Reading , and Science Tests contain a considerable amount of text , it is important to pace yourself so you will not spend too much time on one passage. Similarly , try not to spend too much time puzzling over an answer to a specific problem in the Mathematics T","cbCaieKy5DTcQLH9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieKy5DTcQLH9","pdf",1677329,64,"English","# A Message to Students\n# General Preparation for the ACT Tests\n## General Test-Taking Strategies for the ACT\n# Strategies for Taking the ACT Tests\n# What to Expect on Test Day\n# Taking the Practice Tests\n## Practice Multiple-Choice Tests\n## Practice Writing Test\n# Scoring Your Tests\n## How to Score the Multiple-Choice Tests\n## How to Score the Writing Test\n# Sample Answer Document","[{\"question\":\"What does this booklet include for ACT preparation?\",\"answer\":\"It includes complete practice tests (including a writing prompt), a sample answer document, answer keys, and self-scoring instructions, along with strategies and guidance for test day.\"},{\"question\":\"What general strategies does the booklet recommend for the ACT multiple-choice tests?\",\"answer\":\"Students are advised to pace themselves, read directions and questions carefully, choose the best answer for English/Reading/Science, answer easier questions first, and return to harder items if time remains.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the booklet describe the fairness of ACT test materials?\",\"answer\":\"It states that test passages, questions, and writing prompts reflect diversity and that fairness reviews are conducted by ACT staff and external consultants, supported by statistical procedures to avoid disadvantaging any group.\"}]","Preparing for the ACT® - College Readiness Assessment | PDF",1790665765,161]
