ACT English Test
Intro
Tips for this section
- Pace Youself – just like all the other sections, pacing yourself in the ACT English test is important. With 75 questions to be completed in 45 minutes, it’s recommended you spend about a 90 seconds skimming through a passage before you start on the questions. This will leave you with 30 seconds to answer each of the questions.
- Carefully examine the underlined phrases – It is key to examine an underlined portion type question before making a quick decision. The topics and writing style for each of the five passages on the test can vary to a large degree. Some questions will ask what will least likely be the best answer for an underlined portion.
- Questions without an underlined portion – The last section of questions in each passage will test readers on the passage as a whole rather than an individual line. These questions will be clearly set apart from the others with a separate set of directions.
- Differences in answer choices – Many questions on the test will involve more than just one element of writing. Be cautious when selecting an answer which corrects one aspect, but at the same time causes a separate error.
