Two of these are solid advice for taking the ACT:

If it doesn't fit, you must omit! (i.e., if the sentence seems out of place or irrelevant, take it out)

When you're stressed, quit the test! (i.e, just fill in your letter of the day and take a nap)

When in doubt, take it out! (i.e., if you're on the fence about whether a sentence is necessary or not, delete it)

When in doubt, scream and shout! (and then see what Mrs. Lund does)
