While Wichita State is test-optional, meaning an ACT/SAT score is not needed to be accepted, it is often required to be eligible for scholarships. Prepping for the ACT can be stressful. Luckily, current and former Shockers share their best tips for reaching your test goals.
Other Wichita State University students have shared their wisdom taking the ACT to help those preparing for the big day:
Buy an ACT prep book or look at some ACT apps prior to the ACT. Practice the sections
that aren't your strongest. Memorize the concepts and the steps to get to your final
answer. The questions won't be exactly the same, but the concepts will be!

Make sure to eat breakfast before and bring a snack along. The last thing you want
