#26b67c;\">quick act prep overview of assignments<\/h2>\n<p>as you&#8217;ll see throughout this act study guide, your daily assignment for your quick act prep sessions will come from:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>practice questions<\/strong>: you will be answering a lot of practice questions through this study schedule. at magoosh, we carefully designed and analyze all of our questions to make sure they approximate the real act.<\/li>\n<li><strong>video explanations<\/strong>: answers to practice questions are spelled out through text descriptions as well as short (1-2 minutes) video explanations. we highly recommend watching these videos to better grasp why you missed particular questions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>quizzes<\/strong>: as part of your magoosh course, you have access to dozens of quizzes that will help you master specific skills, such as comma placement and logarithms. <\/li>\n<li><strong>practice tests<\/strong>: twice this month, you\u2019ll need to set aside 3.5 hours to take a full-length practice test using official act exams from the act study guide 2020 (official guide) or magoosh tests. if you need to split them up into four half-length exams, that\u2019s okay. just make sure to time yourself on every section to get your quick act prep! <\/li>\n<li><strong>magoosh lessons<\/strong>: several days, we will ask you to watch a lesson on a topic you\u2019re struggling with. if you aren\u2019t sure what to watch, choose one of the \u201crelated lessons\u201d linked to a practice question you missed. on your dashboard, you\u2019ll need to scroll down to see it. here\u2019s an example:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/www.catharsisit.com\/hs\/files\/2020\/01\/image6-600x358.png\" alt=\"magoosh act
