Pacing and Time Management

Staying on Track

The ACT English section is fast-paced, so it's important to manage your time wisely. Don't get stuck on tough questions; move on and come back if you have time.

  • Spend about 30-40 seconds per question.
  • Mark tough questions and return later if possible.

Finishing the section gives you the best chance to check your work.

Examples

  • Skipping a tricky question and returning at the end.

  • Keeping an eye on the clock to maintain your pace.
