Schedule your ACT testing time for the time of day when you are at your best. Pick the time when you will be most alert.
Reserve time in your schedule for the ACT so you will not feel rushed during the exam. Scheduling activities or appointments after the test time may cause you difficulty in focusing on the latter portion of the test.
Memorize the directions for the ACT question types ahead of time. This will allow you to maximize the amount of time you spend actively answering questions during the exam.
Rest up the day before your test. Avoid any last minute cramming Take a break and go out with your family or friends to help settle your nerves.
Pack a few snacks and a drink to bring with you to the ACT testing center. Eat a little something just before your test.
