United States
ACT
The ACT is the other major US college admission test, with a section for each subject. Lumi helps you remember rules and formulas, while speed is built with practice tests.
In short
The ACT is run by an organization of the same name and accepted by most US colleges. It is built from sections by subject, such as English, math and reading, and depending on the version science and writing. It asks you to answer many questions in little time. The format has changed in recent years, so read the official description before you practice. Also check what each college asks.
What goes on your cards
As with the SAT, what matters most is speed and accuracy, which only timed tests develop. It helps you remember English usage rules, math formulas, reading terms and, if your version includes them, methods for reading science charts. Each mistake from a practice test becomes a card with its rule.
A study rhythm
Alternate timed sections with short card passes, several times a week rather than in one long session. See your errors again on different days (Rawson and Dunlosky, 2011) and keep a full-length test to get used to the endurance.
