Why take the ACT Practice Test?

  • Some people do better on the ACT than the SAT, it would be helpful to know which test you’re stronger at and which you prefer!
  • The ACT is based on what you’re learning and is not an aptitude test like the SAT.
    • Test questions are directly related to what you have learned in your high school English, math, and science courses.
    • Every day you attend class you are preparing for the ACT!
  • You are not penalized for guessing (like you are with the SAT). Your score is only based on the number of correct answers.
  • Some colleges will not require you to submit SAT Subject Tests if you take the ACT.
  • Practice Practice Practice
    • The more you practice taking any standardized tests the better you will do on them. Practicing helps you learn how to manage time and stress when taking high stakes tests!
  • Any other questions? Ask me!
  • Remember the ACT Practice Test will be on March 7th from 11:30am - 5pm at the East Boston Neighborhood Health Center (250 Sumner St, East Boston, MA)
