THE ESSAY IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. You will have 40 minutes to do the new ACT essay. It will be an issue analysis instead of a mere opinion essay. You will need to consider three different points of view on a topic of general interest and develop and defend your own view on the topic. Essay Strategies, Practice, and Sample Responses are included in this book update.
THE READING SECTION WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY HAVE A COMPARATIVE PASSAGE. One of the four reading passages will likely have two smaller passages, labeled Passage A and Passage B. The questions for Passage A will come first; the questions for Passage B, second; and the questions about both passages, last. You may find it helpful to read Passage A first and do its questions, then read Passage B and do its questions, and finally do the comparative questions . This way, you could focus on just one passage at a time. Two Practice Passages are included in this book update.
THE SCIENCE SECTION COULD HAVE 6 OR 7 PASSAGES. There will still be 40 questions and 35 minutes total, but given this change, you should change your timing strategy. Time yourself by taking about 9 minutes for every 10 questions on the Science Section . This is likely better than pacing yourself per passage, because no matter if there are 6 or 7 passages, taking about 9 minutes for every 10 questions will ensure you finish on time.
THE ALLOCATIONS OF QUESTIONS ON THE ENGLISH AND MATH SECTIONS COULD VARY. In the past, there have been firm percentages of question topics; now, the question topics could vary. Here are the possible ranges of topics on the new ACT English and ACT Math:
THERE WILL BE MORE STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY QUESTIONS IN THE MATH. Make sure you are familiar with concepts like probability, mean, median, mode, standard deviation, margin of error, and confidence intervals.
COMPARATIVE READING PRACTICE
Fiction
| PASSAGE A | |
| They didnt even bother to check the spelling: Tina Shwinn, it read. Schwinn, | |
| people, like the bike! It was on my application you know (line one), right there on my | |
| transcripts too, and then again, at the top of my personal essay, by Tina Schwinn. I suppose | |
| Line | it didnt matter to you when you sent out the letter. I suppose I was just one of the |
| (5) | many letters sent out that daythe other letters, the acceptance letters, had gone out |
| weeks before. | |
| Maybe it wasnt the No that bothered me so much. It was probably the sorry and | |
| the unfortunately. Most of all it was the, with the high quality of your writing sample, | |
| we are sure youll find a home in a great program. Somewhere else. Somewhere where | |
| (10) | mediocrity is valued. Somewhere where they didnt receive 252 applications. We can |
| afford to be choosy here. | |
| I didnt tell my Dad for thirteen days. I just pretended the envelope marked | |
| Columbia Graduate Studies had never come. I hoped he would forget; he didnt. Of | |
| course he didnt. His graduation tassel still swung from his work desk, the royal and | |
| (15) | white swaying whenever he reached over to grab a Post-It. It wasnt that I was afraidit |
| wasnt even so much about disappointing him. Give the guy crediteven if he was | |
| upset with me, he wouldnt show it. No, it wasnt either of those things. It was that I | |
| didnt know how to start it, how to say it aloud. | |
| When I finally told him, he was halfway through Sherrys lasagna. Call me Sherry | |
| (20) | honey, I dont expect you to call me mama or nothing. You think? Im twenty-four years |
| old, lady. Anyways, I just hit him with, S-C-H-W-I-N-N. Its not rocket science. I dont | |
| want to be a graduate student at a place where they cant spell anyways. He dropped | |
| his forknot because his supreme dismay caused an immediate heart attackbut | |
| because he wasnt ready for the tears that ran down into my own untouched plate. | |
| PASSAGE B | |
| (25) | I wore my best suit and read my rsum six times on the walk over. I arrived twenty |
| minutes early and smiled warmly at the grey-haired, slightly mustached woman at the | |
| front desk. She returned the smile and asked me to fill out the application that I had | |
| already completed online. I did so, not bothering to correct her mistake. It was only | |
| four pages, nothing to get bent out of shape about. | |
| (30) | Ms. Warren will see you now, third door on the left, she crowed when I returned |
| the documents to her. | |
| The hallway carpet was so blue it was almost denim, almost metallic like the brass | |
| nameplate in the center of the door. Lyla Warren in a harsh, intimidating all caps lock | |
| font. I knocked imperceptibly, and then feeling silly, turned the knob slightly to signal | |
| (35) | my entrance. |
| Ahhh, Mr. Williams, come on in and have a seat. Im just finishing up an email if | |
| you can give me one minute. | |
| Her rich mahogany hair fell in loose curls around a circular face, a face with eyes | |
| as dark as onyx and lips tomato red. I had expected her to be much older, and I sat | |
| (40) | down too abruptly on account of her unexpectedness. She smirked, apparently at |
| my awkwardness but without moving those obsidian jewels from her laptop screen. | |
| When she directed her attention to me moments later, it was with the same intensity | |
| that she had given that computer screen, a deep, penetrating gaze. She wasnt exactly | |
| unsettling; in fact, her severity was almost pleasing, but her appeal made her all that | |
| (45) | more menacing. |
| Her golden fingertips found a manila folder on the desktop with my name scribbled | |
| in the corner. She eyed my rsum with an air that said she was already quite familiar | |
| with it, and proceeded to read my qualifications in a soprano voice to an exceptionally | |
| organized room lined with charcoal filing cabinets. | |
| (50) | Mr. Williams. |
| Greg is fine, I interrupted. | |
| Yes, Greg then. So, what makes you a good fit for our firm? | |
| I rambled on as Id rehearsed: past experience, strong values, a desire to change the | |
| worldthe whole spiel. She stopped me only after eighteen minutes of consistent | |
| (55) | question and answer. She excused me with an eager handshake and an indecipherable |
| grin. Thank you for your time, Greg. On my way out of the office, the blue of the carpet | |
| didnt seem as garish as I remembered. | |
| I was three blocks from the glass doors marked Warren & Bloomsdale, Attorneys | |
| at Law when my phone vibrated. The email was concise and to the point: Weve | |
| (60) | decided to fill the position with another applicant. Thank you for interviewing. |
