Do your students have the time management skills they need to succeed?
There are ultimately three areas that must be mastered to maximize score gains on the ACT: content mastery, test mastery, and time mastery.
Many students know the importance of practicing content mastery and test mastery, but they frequently underestimate the importance of time mastery. So, when they take the 3-hour-and-30-minute ACT test for the first time, they often don’t have the time management skills they need to succeed.
Even though time mastery is one of the biggest stumbling blocks to higher ACT scores, it’s also an area where students can make the easiest gains.
One reason why time management is so important is that questions on the English, Reading, and Science portions of the test are not arranged in order of difficulty—some of the easiest questions can be near the end. Luckily, time management is a skill, and as with any skill, it can be learned.
