The preparation for SAT and ACT depends on the applicants and how they plan to work on their syllabus. For those, who wish to submit either SAT or ACT scores will have to first check what suits them the best and then begin their preparations. The SAT preparation may seem easier for those who are more inclined towards reading and logical reasoning. Whereas, those who have a practical plus logical bent of mind will find ACT exam preparation easier. But again the ease of preparation completely depends on the applicant and on his/her previous knowledge.

Honestly, no. The test is very fast. Time management is the hardest part. Without practice it can be difficult to crack ACT exam too. ACT exam preparation is a long term practice and it takes time to hone skills in order to crack the ACT exam. So make sure that you begin preparation for ACT exam and not just rely on over confidence to crack the exam.

Honestly, best way is simple: Read a lot! A solid, regular reading habit is most effective tool for doing well in ACT reading and writing sections. You can pick up some literary novels or read a newspaper regularly.

There are just a couple of tips that one must keep in mind before preparing for ACT exam:

  • Check the ACT exam syllabus first, mark the topics where the students are confident enough and mark those where they lack confidence.
  • See how much time will you take to prepare for ACT and then begin preparing for the exam based on the timeline keeping the above point in mind.
  • Setting up a schedule and making a timetable and following it is must to crack plus prepare for ACT.
  • A separate time must be kept for attempting mock exams.
  • Those who still need mocks should keep a week or two for extra preparation.

If the applicant has chosen to appear for ACT exam, then he/she needs to first devise their strategy of preparation. ACT preparation may seem difficult for some while the others may be easy for others. Applicants need to first check how much are they prepared to give the exam. In case the applicants have some confidence in any one or maybe two sections of the ACT, they can easily prepare for the third section of ACT and prepare easily in a month's time. 

This should be the ideal strategy of ACT exam preparation if aiming for a month:

  • Attempt mocks and check how much preparation you need and then identify the green and red areas.&nbs

TOEFL- If you are proficient in English, then you should not spend more than a total of 15 hrs. Just solve few sample tests. Same goes for IELTS. If you are moderately proficient, spend 2 hours every day for 3 weeks.
For SAT and ACT: It depends on your proficiency and your target score. If you are aiming for the top 10 percentile and also are quite proficient already, then spend 3 hours for 2 weeks solving papers and revision. If you have just started preparing, then spend 2 hours for 3 months to gain good understanding of the test pattern and to do well.
