Hey, I'm prepping for the ACT, and I was wondering how long the reading section is supposed to last? I want to make sure I manage my time well during the test. Thanks!
The ACT Reading section lasts for 35 minutes, during which you'll have to read four passages and answer a total of 40 questions. That means you'll have approximately 8 minutes and 45 seconds for each passage, and an average of a little over 50 seconds per question. To manage your time effectively, it's essential to practice pacing yourself and developing strategies to navigate through the passages and answer choices quickly. Good luck with your test preparation!
