, FOREWORD
The purpose of this workbook is to help improve competency in important academic content and reasoning
skill areas, the kind of capabilities that are examined in college admission tests such as the ACT. The workbook will
also develop familiarity with testing formats used for the ACT. A review of academic knowledge and skills, together
with familiarity with testing formats, can help you to perform to your potential on college admission examinations.
The ACT measures competencies in four fields: English, mathematics, reading, and science. It gauges your
educational development and academic achievement.
The exercises in this workbook cannot substitute for years of solid class work. They can, however,
reinforce prior schoolwork as well as correct some deficiencies. Use this workbook as a diagnostic tool and as a
refresher/review program to build confidence and self-assurance.
Instructivision wishes you the best of success on examination day.
