The ACT

Wish me luck!

June 10, 2005 3:41 PM from

Tomorrow I take my ACT for the first time. Does anyone have any good advice or tips for taking it? I have never taken a strait 4-hour test before. The OGT took a total of 12 and a half hours, but that was 2 and a half hours a day for 5 consecutive days… and I never even used most of that time.

It took me about 45 minutes to complete the math section (double checking answers and everything); which is my poorest subject… and I still received an advanced rating. Math tends to be my strong point during tests… but my worst subject in school.

Anyway, I hope that some people can give me advice for the ACT tomorrow morning! I am excited, but really nervous.

Wish me luck… I will need it. I haven’t even taken chemistry yet! (But a friend was showing me the basics before summer break… so hopefully that’s enough!)

I didn't find the ACT difficult and I'm not overly intelligent.

My best advice to you is to make sure you're relaxed, get enough sleep, eat a good breakfast, and tackle the test with confidence, although I'm sure you've heard that a million times already.

Good luck!

Don't worry, if it's anything like the SAT then it won't be too bad...and the time passes more quickly than you think...

The ACT isn't really that bad. One suggestion: it's straight, not strait which is a channel connecting two bodies of water. Spelling will count. LOL
