Get ACT books from the library and take practice ACT tests. Take atleast 30 - 40 practice tests.

I have never taken the SATs.

get drunk the night before, and smoke before the test!

seriously theres not much you can do to study for it that will honestly help in my opinion, the ACT isn&#39;t honestly meant to be studied for, its meant to test you on what you know already and can already accomplish, not what you can cram into your head to study and forget about pretty much right after.

My two cents.

Thats what I did, and it didn&#39;t work out very well =/ Just remember to bring your calculator for the SAT math part, or hope you can do complex equations in your head in under a minute, or you&#39;re screwed xD also read through it carefully but fast, cuz of the time limit. Thats what screwed me up >_< I&#39;ma retake the SAT soon, and do the ACT soon afterwards =/

I never used my calculator, and finished every math section in less than 1/2 the time they gave me; I had the chance to triple-check my answers. I got an 800 on the SAT I math.

Thats not possible even if you are a math hugger. You have to use a calculator for those geometry problems and circle problems.

Unless they changed the format of ACT/SAT in 5 years, you do have to be familiar with your calculator.

@ Xtr3m3
There was no writing section 5 years ago. Also, I don&#39;t understand how you can calculate your own score for the practice writing part of the test.

The optimum strategy is to get familiar with the format of the test. The practice tests by ACT/SAT books helps because they are original tests that were used in previous years. People who make up the ACT tests basically recycle the same test questions with only minor modification. Once you understand what kind of questions will be asked on the test, and become familiar on how to answer those questions, they will come natural to you on the set date.
