Hey guys! I'm trying to improve my ACT English score, and I want to create a study guide. Any sections or resources you think I should focus on? Also, are there any methods that worked really well for you? Thanks!
Hey! It's a great idea to make an ACT English study guide. To start, it's important to familiarize yourself with the types of questions you'll encounter: usage/mechanics (punctuation, grammar, sentence structure) and rhetorical skills (strategy, organization, style). Begin by identifying your weaker areas from these categories. This will help you create a focused study guide.
There are tons of resources available online for studying the ACT English section. You might consider using CollegeVine's blog, which has helpful tips and strategies, or websites like Khan Academy and ACT Academy for practice questions and content reviews. Another option is to get an ACT prep book, which will have detailed explanations of the concepts you need to know and practice problems.
For studying methods, practice makes perfect. Try taking timed practice sections, reviewing your answers, and learning from any mistakes you made. Consistent practice paired with reviewing concepts and strategies should lead to improvement in your ACT English score. Good luck!
