ACT Test Preparation and Study Guide
ACT Preparation Tips
Take the PSAT to find out what areas you need to work on and gain
experience with the test format.
Look at a study book, either check one out from a public library or
the school or buy your own. They are available for both the SAT and the
ACT.
Check out the preparation areas of each test's website. Both sites
provide study material, practice questions and tests, and study tips.
The SAT site can be found here and the ACT site can be found here.
