The ACT is not like other tests that you take in school.  The purpose of this test is to assess college readiness and it is sometimes done in a tricky way.  Questions are not usually asked in order of their level of difficulty. Students who try to work through the test in question order from beginning to end will find themselves spending entirely too much time on some questions and missing the opportunity to rack up quick points on easy questions. In addition, college-level material is sometimes included in the exam to  identify those students who are advanced far beyond their peers.  With careful study and breakdown of the ACT Test, knowing your own strengths and weaknesses, and applying our Keys to Unlock the Mystery of the ACT will give you strategies for success on the test and will help you reach your ACT Test score goals.
