What do good sailors, athletes and students have in common? They practice, practice, practice.

You should plan to set aside time once a week to take a practice test.  This will help you gain familiarity with the test and put the skills to use that you are learning in this course.  This will give you real time information on how you are doing and help you to identify any needed changes or subject matter content that you need to go back and review.

Note:

Try to simulate testing conditions when you take a practice test.  Practice at the same time of day that you would be testing, using the same calculator, and be sure to complete it all in one sitting instead of over several different days. This practice will be vital to your overall success on the ACT.

It is critical to learn to pace yourself on the ACT. The way to learn this is through practice, practice, practice.

Remember, you are like an athlete in training.

Schedule time to take a weekly practice test in one sitting. Record your plan in your journal. Review your journal entries for the lessons in Module 2 and think through where you stand right now. What are your strengths and weaknesses. Prioritize which material you will study first and write down a list of how you plan to approach your study.
