Time Management on the ACT

Mastering the Clock

The ACT English Test gives you 45 minutes to answer 75 questions. That’s only about 36 seconds per question! You’ll need to manage your time wisely to finish every section.

How to Stay on Track

  • Don’t spend too long on a single question—move on and come back later if needed.
  • Use your watch or the testing room clock to keep an eye on the time.
  • Practice with timed sections so you feel comfortable during the real test.

Benefits

Good time management means you have a chance to answer every question and review your work before time is up.

Examples

  • Skipping a tough question and returning to it before the test ends.

  • Pacing yourself so you don’t rush the last passage.
