What can I review during my time in Memphis ACT prep?
Before we discuss the preparation options that are available, let's take a moment and examine the individual sections of the exam. There are four mandatory sections of the ACT which are Math, Reading, English, and Science. Each of the mandatory sections is scored from 1 to 36. The exam as a whole receives a score from 1 to 36.

All questions on the mandatory sections of the exam are in multiple-choice format.

You may use certain approved calculators to assist you in this section.
In the Reading section, you will encounter several passages that you must interpret. The questions you answer in this section are about as difficult as the sorts of reading comprehension challenges that a first-year college curriculum would present. You will have a chance to display your ability to identify themes and ideas, make connections across different texts, differentiate between facts and opinions, and understand the meaning of particular words and phrases. This section contains 40 questions that you will have 35 minutes to complete.
The English section of the exam asks you to demonstrate your understanding of the structure, rules, and conventions of the English language.

You must understand the scientific method, scientific procedures, and how to design experiments. You will have 35 minutes to answer the 40 questions in this section.
The Writing section takes 40 minutes to complete, during which time you will respond to one writing prompt. In this section, you will read three pieces that address a particular topic or issue.
