How do I get ready for test day?
The best preparation for the ACT is taking a solid high school program—courses in English, math, science, and social studies—and taking your school work seriously.
But it's also true that your attitudes, emotions, and physical state may influence your performance. So start preparing early.
Know what to expect on test day and read test-taking tips. Be sure to read the information about permitted calculators.
Read all the information in your registration packet or here on the Web and follow all instructions carefully. Take the complete practice test in the free booklet, Preparing for the ACT, and review your answers. For more practice, see our online sample test questions.
You may also consider purchasing ACT Online Prep™ or the Real ACT Prep Guide. Both include test-taking strategies and practice tests.
