The ACT Test is a standardized test used to measure a student's success in high school and predict their success at a given college. It's 25% of your student's college application, making it a critical component. As little as 20 hours of ACT test prep can dramatically improve your student's score.
Here are just some of the ways that ACT test prep tutors and classes can help your child study for the ACT and boost their score.
Capturing Student Interest
Each person is unique and learns best under unique conditions. A one-on-one ACT tutor or class instructor has the experience to not only identify the teaching approach best suited to your child, but also adopt the right teaching methods and strategies in response to how your child learns. An engaged student is both more willing to learn and more likely to retain the material.
Confidence
A higher degree of confidence in their preparation means your child will be less stressed during the ACT Test. Repetitive practice ACT exams increase familiarity and allows your child a clear head while test-taking, so they're less prone to mistakes on the material they actually know. Nothing prepares students better than practice - better yet, practice coupled with expert coaching.
Setting a Schedule
Although motivation is vital, it's not enough without a structured approach. An ACT test prep instructor can help your child learn the best study methods and set a schedule to maximize learning and retention. Similarly, a tutor can help hold your child accountable to the schedule designed specifically for their set of strengths and weaknesses.
Understanding Rather than Memorizing
While preparing for the ACT, memorization is not as useful as genuine comprehension of the material. Understanding the material means being able to navigate any question type or phrasing, rather than getting stuck when the ACT looks different than your preparation.
ACT prep tutors and class instructors can help your child succeed by coaching your student to holistic comprehension of the test subjects, so they're prepared for whatever comes up that day.
Key Takeaways:
