A drama background might seem unrelated to ACT Reading, but Michael's training at NYU's Atlantic Acting School built a habit of breaking texts apart — identifying a character's motivation, an author's argument, the shift in tone between paragraphs — that maps directly onto the prose fiction and huma...

Most ACT Reading mistakes happen not because students can't comprehend the passage but because they spend too long on it and rush the questions.
