What’s inside
One PDF per test, ten tactics each. A taste of what they say:
- Digital SAT The first module decides which second module you get. Only the harder second module reaches the top of the scale, so module 1 is not a warm-up — it sets your ceiling.
- SATACT What a blank costs you. Neither test takes points off for a wrong answer, so a blank is a guess you declined to make — and the rule to set for the final minutes.
- ACT Where the time really goes. 75 English questions in 45 minutes, 60 Math in 60. Why it’s a speed test, and the 15-second rule for when to skip.
- GED You need 145 in each subject — there is no averaging. A 180 in Science doesn’t rescue a 140 in Math. Plus what 165 and 175 are worth if college is next.
- Every guide A one-page miss log. Sort every wrong answer into didn’t know it, knew it but misread it, or ran out of time — so you study the thing that’s actually costing you points.
