Preparing for the ACT

This information is from Mrs. Borowski.

Included are some sample calendars, or pacing guides (as "educators" call them), to help you prepare for the ACT. If you investigate the first three listed below, you can see how students all over the world spend an hour or more a day prepping for this test. You can modify your calendar to fit your needs, but the fact remains, daily study is key (I would say that silent, sustained reading is also a good test prep).

Read the information. Experts suggest focusing on your two lowest scores predominantly.

A Google book. It includes practice for the ACT and SAT. Do both.

Bottom line? Attack the test as if you were attacking a game plan for a state championship game. It's that intense. 

Good luck!
