ACT Reading Test – What you Need to Know
Surprisingly very little! What I mean is that, unlike the ACT Math test, all the answers to the ACT Reading Test can be found in the accompanying passage. The only thing you need to bring is your understanding of words and what they mean, and a willingness to think a little bit.
The ACT Reading Test does not rely on your ability to remember facts or information from outside the passage. In fact, you might get the wrong answer if you use information from outside the passage. Everything you need is stated in the passage for the questions you are answering. You don’t even have to know a lot about the subject area of the passage.
Read and think carefully about what the words mean and what they are trying to portray. That’s really important. One of the best ways to prepare for the test is to read a lot and think about what the words you are reading are trying to say. Look up unfamiliar words in the dictionary. Ask yourself what the author is trying to say with the passage you are reading, both overall, and in specific paragraphs. Learn how to do this and you’ll do great on the ACT Test.
