Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About

ACT Reading

How is ACT Reading different from SAT Reading?

ACT Reading has stricter time pressure, with less time per question. Its passages always fall into the same four predictable categories. Meanwhile, the new digital SAT uses multiple short passages, while ACT continues to use four longer passages.

Should I read the entire passage before answering questions?

There are multiple strategies. Some students succeed by reading the passage carefully first. Others prefer to skim, read the questions, and then go back to find answers. Our instructors will help you determine which strategy works best for you.

How can I improve reading speed while still understanding the text?

The key is active reading, not just moving your eyes faster. This includes identifying the main idea of each paragraph, highlighting keywords as you read, understanding the structure and purpose of the passage, and practicing consistently with timed drills to build both speed and comprehension.

How does Intertu help students prepare for this section?

We focus on a strategic approach by teaching mastery of each of the four passage types, providing specific techniques for each question type (main idea, detail, inference, vocabulary-in-context), and offering advanced time management strategies to build speed and confidence.

What is considered a good ACT Reading score?

Scores range from 1 to 36. For top universities, a score of 30 or higher is very competitive. For most selective schools, a high 20s score (e.g., 27+) is a solid benchmark.

How is tuition for ACT Reading courses at Intertu calculated?

Tuition depends on the total number of study hours and the level of support service (Standard, Premium, Platinum) you choose. For a detailed quote, please contact Intertu Education’s advisory team directly.
