Pittsburgh ACT Tutoring FAQ
One of the major determinants as to whether you get into the college of your choice is your score on the ACT. The ACT is a three-and-a-half-hour-long standardized test that many colleges use as a factor in their admission decisions. As such, it is imperative that you perform well on the exam.
The ACT consists of five sections: a writing section, a reading section, a science section, a math section, and an English section. The writing sample is optional, but your score is sent to any college that you apply to. Thus, it is still a good idea to try your best on this section. The reading section involves reading comprehension. to potentially improve on the science section, you need to be skilled in problem solving, reasoning, evaluation, analysis, and interpretation. The math section includes trigonometry, geometry, algebra, and pre-algebra. Finally, the section on English consists of style, organization, strategy, punctuation, and grammar and usage.
Studying for the ACT can be challenging because of the amount of material to cover and the diversity of the sections.
