Here are my prep books : cracking the ACT 2014 Princeton review , geometry for dummies, practical Algebra, and Mcgraw 500 act problems math to know before the test.
I will take the act in December. I’m a procrastinator and cannot do hours of studying. But I’m currently timing myself little by little of sections of a real practice act test.
I’m really weak in math. I just need help on creating a act Schedule plan
You have plenty of time, so to do a little each day is the best way to prepare.
The best way to study for the ACT is to practice with REAL ACT tests. The 3rd edition of the Real ACT Book (Red Book) has 5 tests to get you started. They are old, but you will get a feel for most of the concepts. Then move on to released tests from 2013/2014/2015. Using the work throughs in the ACT Black Book is also very helpful.
*****DO NOT USE THE READING PROMPTS IN THE RED BOOK. Use the materials a at this link instead: http://www.actstudent.org/writing/enhancements/
TIME each practice session to simulate the real test.
English 75 questions in 45 min.
Math 60 questions in 60 min.
Reading 40 questions in 35 min.
Science 40 questions in 35 min
Score your test, and then review only what you got WRONG after each practice session.
I suggest the following schedule:
Take 1 section each week night/with review for 4 nights/week.
Twice per month on a Saturday or Sunday take a full ACT test/with review.
Track your progress!
Here is a detailed sample schedule to get started, modify it to meet your needs:
Mon: English section with review
Tues: Math section with review
Wed:. Reading Section with review
Thru. YOU MAY WANT TO ADD MATH PRACTICE HERE. ALSO PRACTICE USING THE CALULATOR.
Fri: Science Section with review
Sat: FULL ACT with review
Sun: Off
If you need help setting a more detailed schedule I can help you.
