ACT English And Grammar Drill Designer

## CONTEXT
The ACT English section tests grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and rhetorical skills across full passages under tight time pressure, rewarding students who know the recurring rules cold and read efficiently. Many test-takers lose points by overthinking concise answers or by missing the rhetorical questions about organization, transitions, and word choice. In 2026, effective ACT English prep drills the highest-frequency rules, teaches the conciseness principle the test favors, and builds pacing, all through original practice passages and questions rather than copied or leaked exam content.
