Question 5

What is the most difficult part of the ACT?

The most difficult section of the ACT test depends on which subject you struggle with the most. Many students may answer that the English section is the most challenging due to the time constraint. For the English section, you have only 45 minutes to answer 75 questions. Peterson’s ACT practice tests are timed, which provides a simulated test-taking experience to help you prepare for taking the actual ACT test.

Students can take the ACT test up to 12 times, although that isn’t recommended. Retaking the ACT test usually results in a higher score, however it’s unlikely that a score will improve much after 2-3 times.
