Hi everyone! I'm getting ready to tackle the ACT, and I'm curious about the reading section. How many passages should I expect to see on the ACT reading test? Thanks for the help!
Hi! The ACT Reading section consists of 4 passages, with each passage followed by 10 questions, for a total of 40 questions. The passages usually cover different subject areas: prose fiction/literary narrative, social studies, humanities, and natural sciences. You'll have a total of 35 minutes to complete this section, so it's important to practice time management and efficient reading strategies to get through all the passages and answer the questions. Good luck with your preparation!
