I don't see as many "how to prepare for the ACT" or "guide" as for the SAT

Test Preparation ACT Preparation

<p>Is that because there are no way to prepare for the ACT? It sounds funny that even when collegeboard has around 20 sat/ PSAT tests available for practice and the tests are more coach-able the ACT only has considerable fewer. Please list below what source you got the practice act from:

  1. the real act
  2. practice exams given by the act. are they different from years to years?</p>

<p>And the real question is, how do you prepare to get the perfect score on the act?</p>

<p>You’re going to want to do LOTS of vocab prep. GreatVocab.com is the best.</p>

<p>^ACT doesn’t test you on vocab, although they may ask you to define words in context of a passage (and the words aren’t designed to be foreign).</p>

5

<p>There’s also a practice ACT’s worth of questions split into passages (i.e. the Science is presented as 7 passages instead of one printer-ready pdf) on the official act site.</p>

<p>As far as getting a perfect score goes, that’s hard by anyone’s measure. The answer is using a solid method (this works best if you read different methods put out by various companies/people and pick and choose different strategies form each that you personally like the best) combined with a lot of practicing, seeing what you got wrong, how to get it right in the future, and doing more.</p>

<p>If you’re looking for a method to start with, try reading the free guide I posted on this forum and let me know what you think.</p>

<p>Sorry, its been a while since I took SAT/ACTs. Seems I got them confused. I know vocab killed me on the SAT and wanted to tell others about a new resource I wish I had when I took it. Maybe that’s why I did better on the ACT.</p>

<p>Yeah, like OregonSenior said, there is a little vocab on the ACT, but it’s different. For example, they’ll tell you the word then give you 4 definitions of the word (which are all real definitions, and would all make sense in a certain context), and ask you to pick which one makes the most sense in this passage.</p>
