This guide exists to prepare you for ACT English test

What do They Test?

The ACT English section is designed to test two areas of English Language skills. The first area is Usage and Mechanics, which tests grammar, syntax, punctuation, and proper use. The second area focuses on Rhetorical Skills, which tests style, organization, and strategy.

Usage and Mechanics is a set of rules that you can learn. Those rules are laid out in a later section, but they will take some amount of memorization and practice to familiarize yourself with how they work.

Even though Rhetorical Skills might push you further, there are still strategies that you can practice to ensure you maximize your point totals. Sometimes it doesn’t matter so much that you know the right answer on the test, as long as you can determine the wrong answers. We will keep that in mind as we talk about the structure of the test.

Test Structure

Knowing what is on the test is important, but you must also keep in mind the overall structure of the test. It, like the rest of the ACT, is set with a specific time limit. That limit can determine how you answer the questions and the way that you study.

The test has 75 multiple choice questions to be answered over the course of 45 minutes. Working out the math, which means you will have less than half a minute to respond to each question, and that is after you have to subtract time to read the passage.

There are five sections, each with a single passage. The passages will have some lines underlined, and these highlighted sentences or words targeted in the questions.

As you can see, each of the sections breaks down into a specific number of questions. You might find, during your studying, that you are struggling with a particular section of the test. Understanding the breakdown can help you to adjust the way you test to give those questions the maximum time possible.

The test is relatively straightforward in its structure. All we have to do now is talk about how to get a 36 on ACT English. You can do it, and you should do it.
