The test is divided into 5 passages, each with about 15 questions. Youre not being tested on spelling or vocabulary. Rather, the ACT English Test is designed to assess your understanding of the conventions of English—punctuation, gr r, sentence structure—and of rhetorical skills. Rhetorical skills are more strategic including things like organizing the text and making sure its styled clearly. ACT English Question Format Almost all of the English questions follow a standard format. A word, phrase, or sentence in a passage is underlined. Youre given 4 options: to leave the underlined portion alone (NO CHANGE, which is always the first choice), or to re ce it with one of the three alternatives. Some English questions dont follow the standard format—usually about 10 per exam. These items pose a question and offer four possible responses. In many cases, the responses are either yes or no, with an ex nation. Many of the nonstandard questions occur at the end of a passage. Some ask about the meaning, purpose, or tone of individual paragraphs or of the passage as a whole. Others ask you to evaluate the passage. And still others ask you to determine the proper order of words, sentences, or paragraphs that have been scrambled in the passage. Top 10 Strategies for the ACT English Test Skim an English passage before starting work on the questions On questions that ask you to judge a passage, lean toward selecting a choice that favors it Choose answers that match the level of formality of the entire passage The best way to write something is the shortest correct way of writing it If you speak a nonstandard dialect, be extra careful with questions that focus on idioms Watch for subject-verb and noun-pronoun agreement
