General Strategies for the ACT - Class of 2027

GENERAL STRATEGIES FOR THE NEW ACT  Triage – prioritize questions rather than answering them strictly in the order in which they appear (2-pass triage system) (NOW…LATER…NEVER)  2 Passes for each section: Pass One – answer every question you can answer on the first round AND bubble in/mark your LETTER OF THE DAY on questions you are SURE YOU CAN’T DO (Focus on the EASY and MEDIUM questions and save the HARD questions for later.) Pass Two – go through and try to answer more difficult questions that you circled for the second pass (THINK & ACT TRIAGE)  POOD (Personal Order of Difficulty – Know your POOD!!)  No penalty for guessing – so pick letter(s) of the day and MAKE SURE YOU ANSWER EVERY SINGLE QUESTION!!!!  USE PROCESS OF ELIMINATION (POE) (POE) (POE)  Pick your LETTER(S) OF THE DAY (BE CONSISTENT) (i. e. GGGGGGG + BBBBBBBB OR HHHHHHHH + CCCCCCCCCC)
