Reading can help with every section of the ACT.
The ACT college entrance exam is a multiple choice test focused on English, math and science, with an added optional essay. The 75 English questions, based on five prose passages, cover areas including punctuation, grammar, sentence structure, strategy, organization and style. There is also a reading comprehension section. The 60 math questions include pre-algebra, elementary and intermediate algebra, coordinate and plane geometry and trigonometry. The 40 questions in natural sciences include Earth or physical science and biology. The ACT is typically taken junior year, though you should start preparing at least a year in advance.
Read
Because reading is such a big portion of the test, one of the best ways to prepare is to read challenging books. Many libraries offer reading lists for high school students; choose several books and borrow them for free. Some libraries also have ACT review books in the reference section. You can't borrow these books, but you can read about each section and take sample tests at the library. Be sure to take at least one sample test in a timed condition.
