You Don't lose points

  • When taking the ACT, wrong
  • answers don't lose points.
  • So always be sure to answer
  • every question before the
  • test ends.

It's Ok to Guess

  • Since getting wrong answers
  • won't negatively affect your score,
  • guessing can help even if you have
  • just a slight inkling of the
  • correct answer. You could get it right!

Plugging in Answers

  • Even though it takes a lot of time
  • plugging in answers as a strategy,
  • it can be beneficial if you don't know
  • another way of solving it.
  • If you do know a faster way, use it!

Guessing & Checking

  • If you can guess and check for
  • a problem, look for the largest and
  • smallest numbers. This can help
  • when finding the LCD or LCM.

Calculators

  • Calculators are allowed on
  • the ACT! So use them!! They are
  • enormous time-savers and won't
  • make a silly calculation mistake
  • like the mind can, unless it's typed in wrong.
