Strategies…Before that, we must say something very important!
There is no “quick fix”So, think crock pot, not microwave

Student Strategies

PacingQuestions are arranged in
order of difficulty

Answer the easy
questions firstDon’t forget to mark—in the test booklet—the questions you
skip

Answer ALL the Questions
There is no penalty for guessing and no penalty for wrong answers! Therefore,
guess when all else fails and guess consistently!
![Page 6: Strategies… Before that, we must say something very important! There is no “quick fix” So, think crock pot, not microwave.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bf711a28abf838c7e2ff/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Read Each Problem Carefully
You don’t necessarily have to use all the information you are given
There are “Cannot be determined from the given information” problems

Look for clues in the answer choices
Sometimes just substituting answer choices will yield a correct answer
This strategy is time consuming!

Summative AssessmentUse ACT items from the ACT
site and The Real ACT Prep Guide on each unit assessment
Label the section ACT Style Questions
Teacher and student monitor progress on each question

IntegrationIntegrate more algebra in
geometryIntegrate more science
examples while teaching probability and statistics
Science incorporate data interpretation in all units

A district we work with has takentheir average ACT scores from an 18 to a 23…
IN 4 YEARS!
Remember, crock pot,not microwave!

Openers(Bell Ringers)
In math it’s not about the answer to the question,
rather the process!In science, it’s about
“real” practice on data interpretation!
