 3500 ACT Vocabulary
1   Overview:
Many tasks are on their list when high school students prepare for an ACT exam. Reviewing and enhancing ACT vocabulary is usually the hardest one. Here we will help you master ACT words efficiently. As we know, ACT consists of multiple sections; three are actually to test English skills. Words are the essential elements of any language. If you want to succeed in ACT, you have to build a strong ACT vocabulary seriously.

You may see an ACT vocabulary list somewhere, but official ACT vocabulary doesn't exist. The ACT word list is only a concept to refer to a list related to the ACT exam; it encloses words that probably will occur or once occurred on ACT papers, whose contents vary on different scenarios: the test takers' level and pursuit. This ACT words list matches the average 12th-grade students and concentrates on the requirement of its reading section.

Vocabulary is a critical asset in all reading tests. You can only get a good score on reading tests with solid ACT vocabulary. The reading test has the most robust vocabulary criteria compared to other test sections, like writing. Namely, writing words are usually in reading vocabulary, but the reverse isn't true. So if you plan to choose one vocabulary to cover all test sections, this list is the right candidate.

3500 ACT Vocabulary is an all-in-one middle-level word list that covers the core requirements in preparing for the exam. 12th-grade students should schedule 3 to 6 months to master the words. Given the reading test, students had better learn or understand all vocabulary words.

ACT organizer insists that the test doesn't emphasize strong or large vocabulary; it seems true. However, it doesn't mean you have any chance of having a good score with bad vocabulary skills. Vocabulary is the foundation of any English test, and ACT has no exception. Want to improve your performance in the ACT? This vocabulary will give you a hand.

ACT vocabulary plays a crucial role in your ACT final score. ACT Official Website will give you authoritative information to work out a reasonable ACT vocabulary plan.

2   Alternative vocabularies:
Test takers have various requirements for vocabulary building; it's impossible to handle them with one ACT word list. Is there any alternative ACT vocabulary? Yes, you can get various ACT vocabularies from this or other websites. Besides, vocabularies for the SAT exam or high school study are possibly good options.

We think '3500 ACT Vocabulary' is the first choice for most students. You may find some others as a supplement for some particular purposes.
