Preparing for the ACT Test Guide

• This guide contains test details, test-taking strategies, information about what to expect on test day, a full-length practice test, and a scoring guide with directions for computing the scale score from 1 to 36.

• This guide is also available in Spanish.

***PLEASE NOTE: This guide is general to all ACT tests, including national testing (the ACT tests that take place at various sites on Saturdays). ACT has recently made both the Science and the Writing sections optional on national tests. The ACT that D128 11th graders will take in April is a state test, NOT a national test. The state of Illinois requires all five sections of the ACT: English, Math, Reading, Science, and Writing. D128 students must participate in all five sections when they take the state ACT in April.
