Summary:
1. Focus more on completing the questions that you CAN complete rather than getting every question complete
2. Underline important info (mainly involving characters). Like introductions of characters, interactions between characters, and revelations from characters.
3. Look for the main point of passages and keep track of sentences proving that.
4. In passages about science, keep track of terminology.
5. Substitute in words for questions involving vocab
6. Read passage A then answer questions about passage A. Then do for B then do for C.
7. Don’t be afraid to skip questions that are too long. A lot of questions should be quick to answer.
8. Spend about 8 minutes per passage. Try to answer each question in 30 second.
9. Usually simple answers are right. Usually the point of a sentence is NOT to specify the exact amount of degrees it is outside, for example. Rather, you’d say “it’s cold outside,” not “it’s 39 degrees outside.” This is how the act works usually.
My English went form a 19 to a 30 in just acouple practice tests! thank you!!
Thanks to this video I scored 3 points higher (this was the only thing I did to study, a day prior to my ACT)
What did u score in total

@@ashaunkelly5935 *smart
These videos helped my score so much!! I scored 5 points better than before! I went from a 27 to a 32 and most of my studying was watching these vids! Thank you so much!
I hope this honestly works. I’m 25 and didn’t finish high school because of the FCAT in Florida. Well I’m here retake the fcat but they no longer have it so I have to take the reading portion of the act and pass with a 19 or higher for this subject in order to get my diploma.
It’s never too late to get your education back up and do what’s right for your life and dreams.
So how'd you do?
@@garynolastname6766 ima be honest with you, I still didn’t get it sadly. I’m still studying more because I’m always a point off.

For international student like me, it's really hard to manage the time on the test, and also it's hard to find resources to study on non-native english speaker way but your video gives us general point to solve the questions. By the way I will take ACT test the day after tomorrow for the first time, so I hope your teaching will help me out! Thank you!
Hey!, how was your test? how did you feel?
Exact same place, exact same time. If you could answer how the whole thing rolled out for you, that'd be great

Are you allowed to underline in real act?
Absolutely! You just can't use coloured pens/pencils/highlighters
What do you pencils? Coler pencil?
Is normal pencil fine?
@@ronlifestyle837 Ya, pencils, colour pencils and highlighters, all are allowed
Rahul Mawa lol color aren’t allowed
@@ronlifestyle837 010a0w3😢the 0
All I need is a 19 to pass and get my HS diploma.
How many question do you need to get right to get a 19?
you sound like vaush
Curious if the ACT is demanding you take your videos down? It’s amazing that we’re supporting kids who pay to take their test and are being hit with copyright infringement.
They are. We are trying to fight it though since we do not monetize the videos and we believe that these videos fall under fair use copyright laws being used for educational purposes with no monetization. We are also taking a small enough percent of the tests allotted by copyright law.
@@BeyondTheTest I’m curious to see how this pans out. I’ve deleted videos in compliance (which pains me…) and just don’t know what to do. I’m open to joining your efforts to fight!
I took ACT test before, is 45 minutes 75 questions
yeah, i personally hate that but whatever
You can extend it. But don’t rush.
Sit is rigged
that is the English test
the english test is not that bad i remeber i had a 18 on it and if you do a lot of practice problems you start to notice patterns and stuff and i took a practice one and i’m averaging 25-28
Why does this guy sound like Andrew Tate on 1.5x speed
Since when was 35 minutes, not that long of a time ://
for the reading section it can get pretty rushed, especially if you get hung up on a question. Of course you're suppose to skip it, but sometimes one can forget.
its a very small amount of time, especially with the stress about what your score will be and if you'll finish on time or not
Act meant to be boring I think
lets get the like button to 666
and keep it there
Can i get your email
Thanks!
You're welcome!
hey man its computer based now or paper based? Im in India.
how can we underline on computer
Idk how it is in India but in America it is paper.
