Let's talk about how to study for the ACT test. Some people say that you can't prepare
for it but that is definitely not true, guaranteed that's definitely not true. There's a couple
ways to go about studying for the ACT test. First there's books. You can buy books in
general that look at the whole test or you can buy books that look at specific sections
if you really want to focus on certain parts. When you get an ACT prep book, what you're
looking for is a combination of concepts and strategies. You want a book that teaches you
the concepts you need to know for the test and reviews things you're rusty on. And you
want a book that goes over strategies that address that particular test. Because a standardized
test, there's certain tools you can use to get more questions right, tricks even you
might call them. So you want a book that does those two. And you want the concepts is very,
very important because you would think that the ACT covers everything you've learned since
you were a kid, but its not true. The ACT really focuses on certain things. When they
write the questions year after year after year, they keep asking the same questions
over and over again whether its math or reading or science or English. So you want to make
sure that you've got you know what's on that test and that you're going to address those
particular concepts because there is no time to restudy everything you've learned since
you were a kid. So we want to study particularly the things that are on the test and we want
to use the strategies. So books are one option, the other option of course is that you can
take a class or you can hire a tutor to do that as well. All three are very good. You
can use whatever you find in your area and whatever resources you are able to put towards
it, but you can definitely, if you put in some energy and you put in some practice time
and you're willing to do the work, you can definitely improve your score whether its
through books, whether its through a class or whether it's through a tutor.
