  2. DAY 1: ACT Reading TOP TIP: • Work toward your strengths: • Skip to the passage you can do best FIRST. • If reading the whole passage first works best for you, DO IT. • If reading the questions first works best for you, • DO IT.

  3. DAY 1: ACT Grammar TOP TIPS: • Choose the shortest, most correct answer. Shorter is better! • ‘NO CHANGE’ is the correct answer 20-25% of the time! • ‘OMIT’ is often the right answer when it’s an option.

  4. DAY 2 COUNTS • BOTH days of the test are required for graduation. • Your PSAE score combines your scores from BOTH days of the test. This score appears on your high school transcript which you send out to colleges and employers.

  5. DAY 2: WorkKeys Reading TOP TIPS: • Read the question(s) first. • Skim to find the answer in the passage, but then READ CAREFULLY. The questions will want you to look closely at details in the passages.
