Questions 1-69 Questions 70-125 Questions 126-194 Questions 195-250 Questions 251-375 Questions 376-500 Congratulations! Youve taken a big step toward ACT success by purchasing McGraw-Hills 500 ACT English and Reading Questions to Know by Test Day. We are here to help you take the next step and score high on your ACT exam so you can get into the college or university of your choice! This book gives you 500 ACT-style multiple-choice questions that cover all the most essential reading and writing material. The questions will give you valuable independent practice to supplement your regular textbook and the ground you have already covered in your English and reading class. Each question is clearly explained in the answer key. The passages presented here cover the same broad categories (prose fiction, humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences) as the ACT.

On the ACT, these passages appear in no particular order, and so the passages here are presented in a similar random order. This book and the others in the series were written by expert teachers who know the ACT inside and out and can identify crucial information as well as the kinds of questions that are most likely to appear on the exam. You might be the kind of student who needs to study extra a few weeks before the exam for a final review. Or you might be the kind of student who puts off preparing until the last minute before the exam. No matter what your preparation style, you will benefit from reviewing these 500 questions, which closely parallel the content, format, and degree of difficulty of the reading and English questions on the actual ACT exam. These questions and the explanations in the answer key are the ideal last-minute study tool for those final weeks before the test.
