## Smart Test-Taking Moves
If you’re unsure of an answer, eliminate obviously wrong choices to improve your
odds. There’s no penalty for guessing on the ACT, so always fill in an answer!
- Cross out answers that don’t match the data or contradict the passage.
- Make an educated guess from the remaining options.
This boosts
your chances and keeps you moving forward.
Examples
- Eliminating answers with numbers not found in the data table
- Guessing between two remaining answer choices after eliminating others
