On the digital ACT, the passage or figure sits on one side and the question sits on the other. You scroll the stem without losing the text. Practice that split view before test day. Tools overall are in digital ACT tools.
Stay in the window
English underlines live in the passage. Click the highlight, answer, move. Reading and Science: keep the relevant paragraph or figure visible while you read the choices. Jumping by question number is in section navigation.
The highlighter marks locators on that same screen, in the highlighter and line reader. Format choice, digital versus paper, is in digital or paper ACT.
The bottom line
Leave the passage in view. Scroll the question, not your memory.
