- Head to the 300 hallway, find your room, and check in with your photo ID. I would recommend arriving no later than 7:15 so that your room can start on time.
- Place any belongings in the room's designated areas (this includes your snack).
- Phones are not on your person, are turned off, are better not in the room, and are not checked at any point during testing.
- Bring pencils, erasers, and calculator.
- Listen to the instructions and be patient with your proctors.
- Do your best and make sure to bubble in every answer.
- For the English section, do all the Bing questions first, use process of elimination, and KISS (keep it simple, silly -- the shortest answer is usually best).
- For Science, treat it as you would a reading passage.
- For the writing, consider the three perspectives in the following manner: one will be your position on the argument and the other two will be counterclaims.
- Organization could look something like this:
- Introduction (hook - don't worry about a fancy analogy; set the context and move on; claim - stating your position on the topic and reflecting one of the perspectives given to you)
- Body paragraph 1 - example and explanation for your chosen perspective
- Body paragraph 2 - commence with a non-chosen perspective and make it a counterclaim. Then, immediately bring in your rebuttal with the second example for your claim.
- Body paragraph 3 - commence with the last perspective and make it a second counterclaim. Then, immediately bring in your rebuttal with the third example for your claim.
- Conclusion
Best wishes on your ACT exam tomorrow! Have a healthy (non-sugary) breakfast, bring a snack, and sleep well.
Ah! These are small but very important details that a student must remember before the exam. My exam is also around the corner and I am still busy with the MBE Practice Questions. I don’t want to miss anything because I have to clear this exam in the very first attempt.
