In any high school the ACTs are taken very seriously, and if the
students are serious about going to college it is very important that they
study a lot for the ACTs. If students do
not study, they will not be prepared and everything will be a mess when they
sit down to take arguably the most important test of your life.
A very enthusiastic student, Aislinn Hughes (‘15) says, “I need to
listen in class every day that I am at school just so I can be prepared to do
the reviews because I keep my reviews in class to study from.”
When asking Hughes if she had any study tips she said, “I go through all
of my reviews and when I see a question that I don’t know I put a star next to
it. This easy little study tip allows me to review information I don’t know.”
Hughes said, “One of the most important strategy tips I have learned to
do when taking tests is taking notes on the test because those notes I take are
usually questions that are asked in the test.”
Most people when taking the ACTs have certain
things they do to help them be more efficient and also more prepared.
Danielle Tucker (‘15) said, “when studying for the ACTs I usually study
more for the class that I am not well at so I do everything I can to help me
prepare for my math portions.”
I asked Tucker if she has done anything yet to help for the ACTs she
said, “I have taken some prep classes before at the college before so I have a
better idea on what to expect.”
Most students have a different approach when taking the ACTs than when
they take a normal test. Tucker said, “Well, whenever I am taking the reading
section I try skimming through each reading section to get a basic summary on
what was said. I do this so I can
conserve time and doing this allows me to when answering questions I can just
remember where it was at.”
