Difficulty:

Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need

• ACT Study Guides
• Maps
• Stress Relief Products
• Alarm Clocks
• Calculators
• High-energy Snacks
• High-protein Breakfast
• Women's Watches
• Identification Cards
• No. 2 Pencils

1. Put away your study materials. By now, you know all you'll need to know for the test.

2. Gather together the things you'll need for the test: your admission ticket to the test center, acceptable ID and three sharpened No. 2 pencils.

3. Pack a watch, too, if you want to time yourself, and a calculator if you want to use one for the math section.

4. Call the weather forecast to see if you'll have to leave yourself extra time to get to the test center.

5. Distract yourself in whatever way works best for you: Read a novel, watch some TV or call friends on the phone.

6. Get to bed as early as you can, and set your alarm early enough to make sure you have enough time to eat a substantial breakfast and to get to the test center at least 15 minutes before the scheduled start time.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure you know exactly where the test center is. Getting lost on test day would start things off on the wrong foot!
