Then, if you have your score sheet, look at the sub-categories within each section. Which ones were you strong in, and which ones need improvement?
If you do not, what parts of each test do you struggle with the most? Slide5
ACT Goals
Take a moment to set TWO goals for the ACT– they can be numbers related, or they can be skill related
HOW you plan on getting there
For example:
I want to improve my English score, by bettering my vocabulary within context
I would like my composite score to improve to a 24. I plan to do this through practicing my Science and Math sections. Slide6
Stations!!
Count off, or divide into four groups. Each group will have a set of practice problems, or one problem
Take a piece of paper, and record each section, and what you believe the answers to be.
You MAY talk to one another, and you must write down WHY the answer is correct!
