The hardest aspect of the
ACT test is the strict time limit. The trick to conquering the ACT
test is not related to what grades you made in high school, or even prior
knowledge you acquired before test day. No, the trick to the ACT test is knowing
the test inside and out and understanding which question types are easy or
difficult for you. This will help you better manage your test time for optimal
performance.
Time management is key in
raising your score. While practicing for your test, always time yourself as
if you are in the actual test. By doing this, you will train your brain to answer
questions at a steady pace. As your timing improves, you will be able to answer
more questions. Since ACT test scores are based on the number of questions answered
correctly, answering every question can be very beneficial to your ACT score.
In order to avoid the traps
of difficult question types, always be aware of how much time you have spent
on your current question. If you notice you have spent too much time, then your
time will be better used going on to other questions and returning to the difficult
ones later.
THE
SILENT TIMER™is
a timer that will help you learn not to spend too much time on any one question.
It lets you know how much time on average you have to answer each question.
And based on how quickly you are answering questions, it recalculates the amount
of time you have on future questions. By practicing with this innovative study
tool, you can work on improving your pacing before you even step foot in the
test room. Remember, "Success is Just a Matter of Time...."
