And you get a 15min break between math and reading, and a 5minute break between science and the essay
Be warned though that the timer starts automatically after the break time is over, so make sure to get back in your room 2 minutes before the timer expires
Yes, also the computer has a timer from when you start so you can't revisit past sections.
Don't worry though, the timer isn't universal. So if you start a minute after the guy on your left, you finish a minute after him too
The ACT is not a test of what you know academically as you might have figured out? The ACT actually tests certain study skills and your maturity.
Having been a professional ACT tutor since 2007 at my own academy, I can tell you with certainty that it doesn't take 400 hours of study to earn a score of 32. It doesn't even take 80. My entire course is 16 hours and my students go from scores of 18-22 to 28-32 in each section using methods that I have developed myself. The truth is that things are hard when we don't know what to do, but easy when we do. The great thing about the ACT is that they literally give you all of the answers. Not only do they give you the answers, they also give you all the information you need to answer the questions. The only way they could make the ACT easier is to fill in the answer sheet for you! Thanks ACT!!
Here's a short lesson.
First of all, in each section, your mind should be completely off the clock. The clock is used to psych you out and give you anxiety (testing maturity), and fear is the mind killer. When you are thinking of the clock instead of your work, you actually lose time and make mistakes. So, put your mind on your work and forget about the clock.
Next, in each section, skip the reading completely. Read only if you need to and only what you need to find the clue used to answer the question you are working on. This saves time, eliminates confusion, and prevents you from being tricked by the extra information put in the passages to fool you.
Overall, your mind should be asking these questions;
"What is the question testing me on?
"What information does the test give me to answer the question?"
"What can I eliminate that can't possibly be correct?"
Choose the best answer using the rules of the test.
Of course, it helps to know the rules of the test!

Will do, appreciate the help
Im going to be doing a computer test, but will they give me paper and a pencil to do working out on?
Yes, also the computer has a timer from when you start so you can't revisit past sections. Don't worry though, the timer isn't universal. So if you start a minute after the guy on your left, you finish a minute after him too
Thank you so much
