As you may know, the ACT is coming up in March. It is a very stressful test and it could determine a lot when it comes to your college career. It is no joke that a lot of the ACT is composed of things you may not remember or do not know, so it is important that you do not shortchange yourself; study to your fullest potential! Here are some tips to help you get the best score possible.

 

  1. Go to the ACT boot camp offered in the school.

I am a sophomore, but I took the ACT on February 13th. Luckily, the ACT boot camp is just one of the many things offered at McCracken that helped me score high on the test. Math and science are on Thursdays and English and Reading are on Tuesdays. There are also Saturday sessions from 8:30 to 11 that cover all four subjects.

 

  1. Go online!

There are endless practice tests and games that could really help you on the ACT. There is even one on the ACT website that gives you questions that are just like the test!
