How I studied for ACT (33/36)

Resources/Tips I used:

• ACT BLACK BOOK:
  https://www.amazon.com/ACT-Prep-Black-Book-Strategies/dp/0692078398

• MUST ALSO BUY CORRESPONDING ACT RED BOOK: https://www.amazon.com/Official-2019-2020-Practice-Online-Content/dp/1119580501

• https://www.crackab.com/:
  100s of official practice tests

• Physical Stopwatch: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZRKPSY1?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1

• TI 84 Math section (for paper act - highly recommend paper)

• I recommend the science section (its basicaly reading charts/graphs)

• I did not take the writing portion

I know the act has a online version now but I highly recommend the paper version. ACT is speed/accuracy based being being quick and getting as many questions right as possible ... so skipping around - much easier on paper.

What I did was I took an practice exam one day (take whole thing one seating) — then take a break — then grade it. Next day, go through all the questions you got wrong (write out whole question/why you thought the answer you picked was right/then the correct answer and what my thought process should've been. I got a journal for each section and did the review process per section/journal.

Most importantly, learning from mistakes from the practices is more important than just taking a lot of practice exams.
