In the ACT, the most 2 common strategies used for the test are answering as you read and read before you answer.

Answer As You Read

• "Answer As You Read" is a general strategy to use on the English test, as the name suggests. Regardless of whether a phrase contains a question or not, it is crucial to read the full section since certain questions gauge how well you grasp a paragraph or piece as a whole.

• The ACT section is divided into sections and make sure to always read 1 section completely.

• Don't skip over sentences because they lack underlined sections which might require you to need to respond to subsequent questions.

• This will get you a solid feel of the paragraph's structure, writing style, author's persona, literary device, and more.

• You will be prepared to answer the questions without hesitation and respond to the questions In detail.

• Each word or phrase that has been highlighted or underlined on the English exam serves as the starting point for your search for the question/response.

• Sometimes the questions may ask you to edit the section ( remove or replace or edit). or will say no change.

• Remember to pay attention to the underline/ highlighted area because it the most important section you need to answer the question.

• Make sure to watch out for the basic grammar and conventional rules in English because even the easiest of things can take away your point.

Read before you answer

The strategies you use in both are similar in accordance to the test, and the only difference is the time at which the test taker answers the questions. A fast reader that can collect information would use the second strategy and a student that struggles to retain information would use the first strategy.
