ACT考试阅读部分题型介绍-ACT Science Test

On the ACT English Test, you&apos&aposll have 45 minutes to answer 75 questions—that&apos&aposs about 30 seconds per question! The test is divided into 5 passages, each with about 15 questions.

You&apos&aposre not being tested on spelling or vocabulary.

Rhetorical skills are more strategic including things like organizing the text and making sure it&apos&aposs styled clearly.

ACT English Question Format

Almost all of the English questions follow a standard format. A word, phrase, or sentence in a passage is underlined. You&apos&aposre given 4 options: to leave the underlined portion alone ("NO CHANGE," which is always the first choice), or to replace it with one of the three alternatives.

Some English questions don&apos&apost follow the standard format—usually about 10 per exam. These items pose a question and offer four possible responses. In many cases, the responses are either "yes" or "no," with an explanation.

Many of the nonstandard questions occur at the end of a passage. Some ask about the meaning, purpose, or tone of individual paragraphs or of the passage as a whole. Others ask you to evaluate the passage. And still others ask you to determine the proper order of words, sentences, or paragraphs that have been scrambled in the passage.
