Using An ACT Study Guide
Many students, and parents, have the erroneous belief that there is no way to prepare for standardized tests. Such is not the case with the ACT. It is an exam that lends itself quite well to preparation.
Knowing what material a test covers is probably the biggest factor in successful preparation for any exam. The ACT organization readily makes this information available to those preparing to take the exam.
For example, it is clearly stated that the mathematics section will contain a total of 60 questions. Of those 60 questions, 40% will be on pre-algebra and elementary algebra topics, 15% on intermediate algebra, 15% on coordinate geometry, 23% on plane geometry, and 7% on trigonometry.
Similar content descriptions are given for the other sections of the test. Knowing this breakdown can help guide students in where they should spend their preparation efforts.
Armed with this good information about the actual content on the ACT, using an ACT Study Guide can be an excellent way to actually practice and prepare for the exam.
For several years I taught an ACT preparation course during the summer and I saw students improve their scores considerably by careful study and review.
The books I used during this summer prep course were published by the ACT organization for use in such workshops, but most of the good study guides available to the public are patterned after these same type books.
The good study guides will include an overall view of the exam, test taking strategies, practice questions and tutorials, and at least one complete practice exam.
My observation of the students taking prep courses or using study guides is that, like with most things, the benefits gained are directly related to the amount of time and effort invested.
So, grab one of the good study guides available and spend some good time with it. It will pay off!
