3/21/24 – Strategic Skipping

Summary: Today we talked about strategic skipping on the ACT and then tried 10 real ACT problems (TQ09).

Steps to a successful ACT…

  1. “Skip” about half of the questions in the math section of the ACT. This gives you extra time to focus on other problems.
  2. With your extra time you will go back and answer these “skipped” questions.
  3. In the last two minutes of the test go back and guess “C” on all remaining skipped questions.
  4. No questions should be left unanswered when time runs out.

Homework: none
