Dear students
In the following file, there is an ACT physics exam for real questions. The number of questions
and the way they are arranged simulate the real exam. I ask the students to use timing when
starting the solution, i.e. the first 38 questions will be solved in 45 minutes, and the second part
consists of 38 questions that must be solved in 45 minutes
The student should practice how to solve using timing
The second part of this file contains the answer to these questions
