- Is a strong reader with a good vocabulary.
- Has good recall for historical or literature examples for the essay.
- Possesses strong deductive reasoning and is test-savvy.

“ACT fits student who …
- Did well on the PLAN (the PSAT for the ACT).
- Earned a PSAT score that is inconsistent with grades and effort.
- Reads fast but is not so strong in vocabulary.
- Knows grammar and punctuation.
- Performs well academically but is likely to experience test anxiety.
- Is a “book-smart overachiever” but not the best test-taker.
