• Attend the evening review sessions will provide for a nice review prior to the test
• Students should complete practice problems (online or paper tests), and review content (online programs, apps, etc.)
• Students should enroll in challenging courses, pay attention in class and learn all material for the long term, not just to pass a test
• It is strongly encouraged to not let your senior year be the first time you test
• Most students should take the test once or twice during their junior year. If a student is in advanced classes, then taking it their sophomore year for the first time should be considered
• It is best not to let the ACT stress you out. If you allow yourself enough time, you can test multiple times in order try to achieve your goal score
