The topics included in each content area are examples of possible topics; they do not include all possibilities.  \n9 Update your knowledge and skills in the content areas.  \nReview content areas that you have studied but are not fresh in your mind. Refresh your knowledge in the content areas that make up large portions of the test.  \n9 Study content areas you are not familiar with.  \nIf some content areas of the ACT are unfamiliar to you, consider taking coursework in those areas before you take the test.  \nTips for Taking the Multiple-Choice Sections  \n9 Pace yourself.  \nIt is important that you have enough time to read the passages/questions and figure out your responses.
