While doing test prep along with your other school work may not be your dream scenario, but we have some pro strategies below to help keep you on track. Don&#8217;t worry, we&#8217;ll help make it easier.<\/p>\n<p>If you are planning on taking the ACT this year and haven\u2019t started studying yet, it is time to get going. The next <a href=\"https:\/\/www.act.org\/content\/act\/en\/products-and-services\/the-act.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">test date<\/a> is October 27th.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.act.org\/content\/act\/en\/products-and-services\/the-act\/registration.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">registration<\/a> deadline is September 28th, but you can do late registration until October 14th for an extra fee. If you&#8217;re planning on taking the October 27th test, make sure you are using one of our free downloads below. The weakness targeting strategy is great if you haven&#8217;t really started studying yet because it is a lot faster. But, if you&#8217;re waiting until the December 8th test (registration deadline November 2nd), I really recommend trying the full review strategy. The full review strategy is going to give you a bigger overall increase to your ACT score, but it does take quite a bit longer to do.<\/p>\n<p>At Peterson\u2019s, we want you give you the best information out there as you prepare to succeed. Here are two pro strategies to get a higher score, study efficiently, and still have fun this summer:<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"width: 44%; margin: 6px 2%; padding: 6px 3%; display: inline; float: left; background: #ec856d; font-size: 18px; text-align: center; text-transform: uppercase; color: #fff;\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.petersons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/10124519\/Petersons-ACT-Prep-The-full-review-strategy.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Full Review<br \/>\nStrategy<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"width: 44%; margin: 6px 2%; padding: 6px 3%; display: inline; float: left; background: #8f9cd8; font-size: 18px; text-align: center; text-transform: uppercase; color: #fff;\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.petersons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/10124519\/Petersons-ACT-Prep-The-weakness-targeting-strategy.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Weakness Targeting<br \/>\nStrategy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These two strategies will help you be a test-prep pro, while also making sure you stay on track with your ACT studies.<\/p>\n<p>For more resources, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petersons.com\/testprep\/act\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Peterson&#8217;s ACT page<\/a> to get great resources that will really help you boost your ACT score fast!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>*This article is periodically updated: last updated on 8\/27\/2018.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Higher score.
