Create a simple denotation system for yourself. During your practice tests, I suggest circling any that are complete WTFs and drawing a star by any that are 50/50.

I also suggest that you learn to skip (but first put an answer down, in the event you can’t come back to it) questions that you automatically know will give you trouble or take considerable time. Get what you can get as fast as you can, then come back to the ones that are tougher and/or longer to answer.

I think that is one of the “cooler” aspects of the ACT; that is, for the classic overachiever to learn how to battle his/her own psyche for the sake of time management, rather than giving in to his/her psyche and not leaving a problem until it is done. It’s an easy trap to fall into but also one that must be avoided at all costs.
