Act

[Skirata]

Okay I just looked it up, and no you are not penalized for wrong answers, so your best bet is to answer every question. Answer the easy questions first and skip over the hard ones, and then if you have time left over go back over the hard ones and either try to work them out or guess. If you google it you can find out more info about the test, instructions on taking it, as well as some tips.

Ok. Thanks man!

Okay I've seen enough American movies to know what an SAT is lol but what's ACT used for?

They're about the same thing. Colleges look them over and what not.

*is completely confused*

The only exams I know of are IGCSE's, AS, A and A2-levels, and that's it.

What are these SAT and ACT things?

It's an American testing tool to assist in reviewing your overall knowledge as an entrance requirement into University/College.

I can verify Mormy's post.

You don't get penalized for wrong answers, which is why you can safely skip the question if you don't know the answer.



The SAT scores points this way: -1/4 point for wrong questions, 1 point for right questions, and 0 points for unanswered questions.



I believe it works the same way for the ACT.

ACT is different bro. You lose points for all incorrect answers, wrong or not answered.

That's true but it's better to guess and hope that you get it right. There's also lots of little tips that help.

Like in the reading section, There's i think 4 story things. If you know that you're not gonna get a 36 don't shoot for it, go for the best you can. It's better to try and read 3 of the stories in the time limit than all 4. That way you won't feel rushed and will be more accurate.

Math, don't worry about the trig part, which is sin, cos, and things like that. If you don't know it you can still do fine. In all there may be 4 questions over that. So if you don't know it don't spend too much time on it, just guess.

Science, really you don't have to know any science, it's more can you read graphs.

Can't really remember English. Must have been easy for me.

That's all i can think of at the moment, good luck!
