Lesson 3 of 6

What’s actually on the test

No mystery — both tests cover a small, predictable set of skills. You’re not learning everything; you’re drilling these:

  • Reading — understanding passages and answering ONLY from what the text says (not your opinion).
  • Writing/English — grammar, sentence structure, and making writing clearer and tighter.
  • Math — mostly algebra, some geometry and data. A calculator is allowed on much of it.
  • ACT Science — reading charts and experiments fast; it’s really a reading test in a lab coat.

Good news

It’s the same handful of skills every time. That means you can practice the exact thing the test asks — and get measurably better.
