One of the best ways to prepare for test day is to complete a practice ACT. After you complete the practice
ACT, use the diagnostic sheet below to identify what concepts and chapters you need to complete. The
diagnostic sheet lists the topic and corresponding chapter for all questions on the practice test.
*Important note: One practice ACT is not enough to fully diagnose all your weaknesses. Completing any
topics/chapters the correspond with the questions you answered incorrectly on this practice ACT is a great
place to start, but you should not stop there. A single practice ACT does not include all topics tested on the
ACT. To be fully prepared for test day, you should complete 4-6 practice ACTs.
