Recommended ACT vocabulary words?

Hey guys. It's me trying to expand my vocabulary for the ACT test. Are there any particular vocabulary words you guys would recommend that come up often in that test? Thanks!

Hello there! It's good to see you're taking proactive steps to prepare for the ACT. While the ACT does not directly test vocabulary like a fill-in-the-blank style question, a robust vocabulary can definitely be helpful for reading comprehension, especially in the Reading and English sections.

However, the vocabulary words that appear on the ACT are quite varied, and there isn't a specific list of words that consistently appear on every test. The ACT focuses more on context and usage rather than hard definitions. That said, knowing what words mean and being able to infer their meanings based on the context in which they're used can certainly be beneficial.

That said, there are a few strategies you can use to boost your vocabulary in a meaningful way:

- Reading: Consistently reading a variety of materials (novels, newspapers, scholarly articles, etc.) can help you encounter a wide range of vocabulary. Pay particular attention to contexts and the varieties of words used.

- Practice Tests: Previous ACT tests can give you a sense of the words you might encounter. You can note down unfamiliar words as you come across them and then look up their meanings later.

- Flashcards: Building your own set of flashcards can be beneficial. They offer a tangible and interactive element to your studying.

Just remember that while vocabulary is important, the ACT tests a range of skills so don't neglect other areas of English and Reading preparation.

Best of luck with your ACT study and preparation!
