Introduction
Welcome to 1,001 ACT Practice Questions For Dummies. Don’t take the book title personally. We certainly aren’t suggesting you’re a dummy. In fact, we’re celebrating your overwhelmingly sage foresight in purchasing this valuable text! Putting in the time and dedication to practice for the ACT is a very wise decision indeed.
Along with your GPA and the rigor of your high school curriculum, your ACT score is a very important factor in getting into college and getting money to pay for your education. Improving your score by just a couple of points can mean gaining thousands of dollars in scholarships and financial aid. With that in mind, don’t waste any time. Get practicing already!
What You’ll Find
One of the best ways to maximize your exam performance (and elevate the quality of your free time, of course) is to continually expose yourself to questions that mimic the ones you’ll encounter on the ACT. The practice problems in this book are divided into five chapters that correspond to the five sections on the test: English, math, reading, science, and the optional writing. We’ve constructed the questions to closely resemble the actual test in both format and level of difficulty so you know what to expect when you plop yourself down in front of the proctor on test day.
If you miss a question or just make a good guess, be sure to examine the answer explanations for tips on how to master your approach next time. Heck! Check out the explanations for those questions you answer correctly. Often, we reveal not only how to answer the problem but how to answer it most efficiently.
Be proactive. This book contains hundreds of questions, so after you’ve taken a bunch of tests and evaluated your performance, review the questions you miss and form your own explanations for why the credited answer is better than yours. Then check our explanations for confirmation. Apply your discoveries to more practice problems.
You can benefit from this book all by itself, but it’s even better when you pair it with the in-depth reviews and strategies available in latest edition of ACT For Dummies (Wiley). Either way, this book helps you solidify your approach and confidence in all subject areas.
How This Book Is Organized
The first half of this workbook contains the practice English, math, reading, science, and writing questions. You find the answers and explanations in the second half of the book.
When you open your test booklet on exam day, the first test you see is the English. Five scintillating passages await. Each presents around 15 questions for a total of 75 questions. To maintain the pace required by the ACT, plan to spend no more than 9 minutes answering the questions for one passage. The English questions may be classified in one of two main categories: grammar and usage and rhetorical skills (a fancy way of saying knowing what makes for good writing):
Grammar and usage:
Included grammar concepts are punctuation, proper pronoun use, parts of speech, subject and verb agreement, verb tense, parallel structure, possessive forms, and the correct positioning of describing elements. The ACT tests your knowledge of hard and fast rules. “Controversial” grammar issues, such as whether you place a comma before the
and
at the end of the series, won’t be tested.
Rhetorical skills:
In addition to grammar and usage, the ACT also determines what you know about the practices of good writing. Questions regarding rhetorical skills test your awareness of the need to eliminate redundant and irrelevant information, choose precise words and phrasings, include specific detail rather than general statements, make smooth transitions between ideas, and organize sentences and paragraphs logically.
The many math questions in the book represent the range of topics and difficulty in the 60 questions ACT math test. Formatted as word problems or straightforward expressions, these questions provide you with practice in the following subtopics:
Pre-algebra and elementary algebra:
These questions are based on core arithmetic and algebra concepts, including number definitions, absolute values, decimals, fractions, ratios, proportions, operations, solving equations, variables, inequalities, factoring, and quadratic equations. You can also expect to see both basic and advanced statistics problems involving average, median, probability, combinations, and permutations.
Plane geometry and trigonometry:
The ACT presents problems regarding the rules and formulas surrounding basic 2D and 3D shapes, such as angles, triangles, circles, squares, and regular solids. Also included are questions that test your knowledge of trigonometric ratios and identities.
Intermediate algebra and coordinate geometry:
These questions test a variety of concepts: functions, linear equations, graphing functions and shapes on the coordinate plane, vectors, unit circle, periodic functions, logarithms, imaginary numbers, and other advanced topics covered in algebra II and pre-calculus classes.
The ACT tests your reading ability through a set of four passages: fiction, social science, humanities, and natural science. Each passage contains 10 questions that should be answered in less than 9 minutes. One of the passages in each section is actually a set of two passages on a similar topic; a few questions require to you to compare the ideas in both.
The passages in the science section primarily test your ability to carefully examine and apply data conveyed in tables and graphs and evaluate experimental procedure and the reasons for a study’s set up. The ACT presents you with six science passages per test and allows you roughly six minutes per passage. Although almost all you need to know comes straight from the passages, a few questions require you to rely on basic vocabulary and concepts you picked up in middle school science and freshman biology.
The ACT gives you the option of writing a 40-minute essay. “If it’s optional, why do it?” you ask? Many colleges require the essay part, so if you’re applying to one of those colleges, taking the writing test is not optional. For your writing pleasure, the ACT describes a current issue, gives you three perspectives on the issue, and asks you to create a persuasive essay that advances your position. Included in our answer explanations for the writing questions in this book are sample essays of varying proficiency to show you examples of how your response may be scored. Your writing test score ranges between 2 and 12 and is never averaged into your composite score.

It also comes with a free, one-year subscription to hundreds of practice questions online.

Read passages and answer reading comprehension questions.
Tackle science questions related to biology, chemistry, and physics.

Chapter 1
The English Test
Brush off your grammar rules and scrutinize your writing skills. About an equal number of the 75 English test questions test your knowledge of both. The ACT presents five passages with about 15 questions each for you to examine within a total limit of 45 minutes. The passages cover a range of topics and tones to allow you to evaluate all kinds of writing forms.
The Problems You’ll Work On
When working through the questions in this chapter, be prepared to do the following:
Pick apart underlined portions to determine whether they’re presented properly or need a change.
Decide when you need to insert a comma, semicolon, colon, or dash — and when you don’t.
Choose the right words for the context and clarity of the sentence.
Organize words, sentences, and paragraphs in the most logical manner.
Determine the purpose and relevance of ideas in an essay.
Discover the relationship between ideas to create the most accurate transitions.
What to Watch Out For
Trap answers include the following:
Phrasings that seem correct until you read them within the context of the entire sentence
Misused alternatives to proper phrasing, such improperly using
effect
instead of
affect
or
it’s
instead of
its
Options that entice you by duplicating language in the question instead of providing the specifically requested construction
Public Relations for Nonprofits
Questions 1–15 are based on the following information.
(adapted from The Public Relations Handbook for Nonprofits, by Art Feinglass, Wiley, 2005)
A obvious, (1) goal of public relations campaigns are (2) to stand out from the crowd. And when it comes to nonprofits, there is always a crowd.
People in the nonprofit world (3) often don’t like to think of theirselves (4) as being in competition in the way that businesses are. But the competition is there just the same, and ferocious (5).
No matter what your organization’s (6) field of activity — health care, community service, education, the arts, environmental protection, promotion of cultural activities, historical preservation, or any other worthwhile cause (7) — you are, in affect, in competition (8) with all the other organizations that specialize in the same area. And not only are you competing with your sister’s organizations, (9) you are also in de facto competition with organizations that operate in other areas. Despite the focus of your efforts, the odds are that you and your competitors are reaching out to many of the same people.
The reality is that people usually don’t support just one organization. (10) More typically, they support concerns ranging from the local to the global. It is not unusual for one person to support his local library and homeless shelter and symphony orchestra (11) while being involved with organizations that protect whales in the Pacific, support medical research in the Amazon, or providing care for orphans in Africa. (12) And then there is your organization who is trying (13) desperately to be heard above the clamor. That one individual may receive letters, appeals, and newsletters from literally dozens of organizations, all asking for backing and support (14). Therefore, one obvious job that your public relations efforts should accomplish is to help your organization stand out from the background noise by making a personal connection. In more hard-nosed terms; public relations (15) can be a tool to help you beat the competition.

West African Dances
Questions 16–30 are based on the following information.
[1] Rather than through the media and peers, [2] in West Africa, [3] social patterns and values as well as the tools needed to help people work, mature, and praise members of the community [4] are taught through dances. (16) The power of dance provides for the sense (17) of belonging and solidarity that brings people together no matter there (18) age or the status they hold in the community. In the West African county of Guinea, there are many rhythms each (19) comes from different parts of it’s (20) eight regions. A few of these Guinean rhythms include Kuku; Yole; Sonsorne; and Sinte. (21) (22)
Kuku comes from the forest part of Beyla. Located (23) in the region of Nzerekore, and is performed by the Koninkey, Manian, and Maokaethnic groups. It is mostly common (24) played at festivals, including the full moon celebration, and is one of the most popular West African rhythms. It is a celebration dance known as a womens (25) dance and is performed in a circle. The rhythm, traditionally played with sticks on Krins which are hollowed wood logs, (26) was originally played when the women would come back from fishing. The women used a variety of tools to make their fishing trips more efficient. (27) The dance of the Kuku embodies the people who perform it. The rhythm of Yole comes from Sierra Leone near the Guinean border, from the Temne people. (28) The Yole is the traditional mask dance and is danced by young and old at nearly all (29) festive occasions.

Reflections on Toothpaste Considerations
Questions 31–45 are based on the following information.
Shopping for groceries, the one area (31) that in an irrational way (32) overwhelms me is the toothpaste aisle. Every brand claims to do the same thing with the only variation being a slight taste difference or maybe a promise of “fresh breath strips” inside. (33)
[1] In order to avoid anxiety in the grocery store, I will have (34) stuck to the same tube since high school. [2] Recently, however, I’ve noticed that the whitening affect (35) it claims to have may actually just be their (36) to compete with the other brands that surround it in the store. [3] Due to the fact that sorority recruitment is in two weeks, I’ve wanted to brighten my smile, but like most college students, I don’t have the $60 to spend on whitening strips. [4] When I saw a commercial for a new line of whitening toothpaste and mouthwash, I immediately thought about making the switch. (37)
I trust whitening strips because I’ve used them in the passed but (38) even more convincing was the commercial, which featured a person who was in a similar situation to the won (39) I was in. It showed a woman who (40) needed her teeth to be whiter in 14 days but at the same time didn’t want (41) to give up the things in her daily lifestyle that make teeth yellow as coffee and blueberries, (42) two things that I consume daily. (43)
If I can get the same whitening effect with an inexpensive mouthwash and toothpaste combination that I can with a $60 whitening strip product and still be able to consume what I do regularly, the switch from my old standby, which has been having no whitening effect (44), seems like something I should’ve done a long time ago. I look to my next trip to the toothpaste aisle with eager anticipation.

Question 45 asks about the preceding passage as a whole.
45. Suppose the author wrote this essay in response to a writing assignment that asked for an analysis of the particular conditions that influence consumers to change toothpaste brands. Would this response successfully fulfill the assignment?
(A) Yes, because the essay gives descriptive detail of a particular time when the author changed toothpaste brands.
(B) Yes, because the essay shows that the quality of a particular toothpaste brand’s whitening effect is what inspires consumers to choose that brand.
(C) No, because the essay does not specify the name of the brand of toothpaste she decides to switch to.
(D) No, because the essay is a personal account rather than an analysis.
A Study of Soap Operas
Questions 46–60 are based on the following information.
[1] Soap operas have become the modern, day melodrama. (46) [2] Characters are classified as good guys, or bad guys, (47) and the bad guys are always trying to find some way to make the lives of the good guys miserable. [3] Soap operas sets are boring and bland, (48) and directors tend to rely on the close up to convey characterization. [4] The shot closes in on the bad character displaying an evil and calculating expression as she informs the good character that she is going to ruin her life. [5] The camera then captures the worried and helpless (49) expression of the potentially ruined good girl. [6] Most actors confirm that they would rather play bad characters than good, but (50) it is more fun to give evil expressions then helpless ones. (51) (52)
There seems to be those (53) for every scene, for instance, (54) whenever two lovers embrace in reconciliation, the camera closes in on the face of one of them to show the worry and doubt that character has about the stability of the reconciliation. The camera pulling away, (55) the audience can view the results of very little rehearsal. Actors appear wooden and posed in full length. As (56) there seems to be stock facial expressions, there also appears to be stock physical poses. Exasperated characters breathing deeply and heaving their shoulders (57) up and down. Pleading characters embrace (58) their ground and lift their hands in supplication. (59) The only overt physical demonstrations of emotion is (60) raging lunges and passionate embraces.

Why Study Philosophy?
Questions 60–75 are based on the following information.
In an essay entitled Philosophy: Who needs it? (61), Ayn Rand explains that philosophy answers three questions; (62) Where am I, how do I know, and what do I do. These questions are also (63) the three branches of philosophy, metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. (64) The answers to these questions determine how we live our lives and arguably make up the most essential (65) elements of human survival. Other philosophers go along (66) and explain that we need to understand philosophy or we will end up like ancient cave dwellers’ (67) without an understanding of how the world works.
Many people avoiding philosophy (68) for several main reasons. The first reason why (69) some choose to avoid studying philosophy is because they fear change and don’t want to leave there (70) comfort zones. Philosophy is a very deep process of thinking (71) and some decide they don’t want to discover new ideas because they will go against their prior knowledge and make them leave a level of comfort that they are not willing to let go. (72)
The second reason people do not want to study philosophy is because of the feeling of insignificance they can feel (73) when they explore the vast world of philosophy. Philosophy studies everything that has to do with human life and the human mindset, and this (74) can sometimes leave one with a sense of insignificance. The third reason that some may choose to avoid philosophy is because they feel that they will lose control over their lives. When studying philosophy, some theories (75) suggest that what humans perceive as the world is really just made up in their minds. This concept leaves some people feeling as though they have no true sense of reality and therefore no control over their lives.

Planning for Human Error
Questions 76–90 are based on the following information.
(adapted from Contingency Planning and Disaster Recovery: A Small Business Guide, by Donna R. Childs and Stefan Dietrich, Wiley)
[1] Human error is by far, (76) the most commonly frequent (77) cause of business disasters. [2] By definition, human errors are unintentional, and (78) because they occur randomly, we hope that the overall impact on your business operations will be negligible. [3] Each of us have had (79) the experience of developing a new document by revising an older document or by using a template. [4] The same is true when we reorganize our files to reduce the clutter we made in the last month and unintentionally delete a whole folder of important documents. (80) [5] When we finish our work, hit (81) the “save” button, and immediately realize that we have just written over with new text an old document that we will need again in the future.
Unfortunately, there is no simple single, solution. (82) We have to expect that human errors will be made, and we must be able to protect our businesses from ourselves’ (83) to the extent possible. I often notice that managers hope that they’re (84) employees will be careful with important files, and when they inadvertently delete a file they (85) hope a backup file exists. I usually suggest keeping track of these events. If you do so, you will begin (86) to realize that these errors occur with greater frequency than you thought. Another drive is enthusiastically used for backing up data and then forgotten after a few weeks passed. (87) And (88) the corrective action taken is most often less than satisfactory.
In fact, we have observed with frequency that the loss of a file is either not even realized or simply never reported, until someone runs, nervous, through (89) the company asking if anyone still has a copy of a particular file.

Question 90 asks about the preceding passage as a whole.

Is Deviant Behavior Learned?
Questions 91–105 are based on the following information.
Aleister Crowley was born on October 12, 1875 (91) and from birth he marked himself already for deviant behavior (92). He was born with a swastika-shaped birthmark, (93) and in many ways this birthmark shaped the rest of his life. Born into a Protestant family, his dad was an influential preacher. (94) Crowley came to despise the Christian religion, and his mother named him “The Beast.” (95) At a later age, turning (96) to the occult and practice of black magic. Crowley experimented with it (97) and continued a life of deviant behavior, acting violent, and was devoted to the powers of darkness throughout his life. (98) Crowley perfectly exemplifies the fact that it may be nature not nurture that determines one’s bent (99).
[1] Crowley has had many followers since his death, but none of them were born with the cruel mindset that Crowley was born with. (100) [2] Some philosophers and psychologists try to argue that its (101) in fact nurture that determines if a person is evil (102). [3] When you consider the case of Crowley, however (103), it is hard to argue that he was nurtured to be the demon that he was. [104] [4] The nature theory explains why identical twins, raised under different conditions (105) grow up to have very similar personalities instead of different personalities as the nurture theory would suggest.

The Legend of the Five Suns
Questions 106–120 are based on the following information.
The Mexica people’s history of constant migration and destruction of community are communicated (106) in the Legend of the Five Suns. “The Codex of Chimalpopoca,” which has been translated by John Bierhorst, (107) documents this legend about what happened to the Mexica people as a result of the five suns.
The first sun was known as Four Water and was supposedly the tale of how the gods created humans, yet its ending (108) a flood where the survivors turned into fish. The second sun, Four Jaguar, (109) ended when the sun fell to the earth and set it ablaze. Like the second sun, (110) the third sun, known as Four Rain, also ended in a blaze, when it and gravel, (111) rained down from the sky and ignited the land. The remaining people turned into birds. Four Winds, the fourth sun, existing as it did (112) under the rule of Quetzalcoatl and ended with a hurricane that blew the people off the face of the earth. Those who survived were changed into monkeys and scattered throughout (113) the forests and mountains. The fifth sun is known as Four Movement, and it is supposed to end in earthquakes. (114)
Although the story of the five suns’ is just (115) a legend; it has helped (116) show the origins of the Mexica people’s struggle to keep a community together despite disaster and death. Disasters did not occur exactly like the ones described in the Legend of the Five Suns, but (117) native people experienced similar disasters when marauders annihilated several city states, crushing their communities, taking away their beliefs, and wiping out their histories. (118) For example, the Tolltecs disbanded in 1064 under the leadership of Huemac due to the fact that (119) the city of Tollan fell. The people wandered for seven years, which caused the city to fall apart and (120) resulted in the dispersal of the people throughout the continent.

Acting for Television
Questions 121–135 are based on the following information.
At first, acting for television seems to be similar to acting on the big screen. Although (121) there are similarities between the two, such as the use of a camera to capture the performance, (122) television acting is different from that of motion pictures in its resources and purpose. Acting for television tends to be (123) more superficial then (124) acting on the big screen.
To begin with, (125) television as a medium is more limited than motion pictures. As compared to the big screen, television generally requires significantly fewer (126) preparation time for each episode; less taped footage to draw from; and less time to edit the final product. (127) Characters, therefore, may be more one-dimensional and lack depth (128). (129)
Deviations from the script may be more common and even acceptable on television. The time constraints for filming a motion picture, on the other hand (130), are generally not as severe, and big screen actors can rehearse and film their presentations for a much longer period of time. Giving them (131) a better opportunity to develop their characters’ reactions to the particular circumstances presented in the film.
Time and budget restraints also effect (132) the amount of taped footage in television. Therefore, television actors do not have the luxury of providing a variety (133) of takes. Unless there are blatant errors in a scene, the actors’ first performance for the camera will be there final one (134).
