Portland ACT Tutoring FAQ
The ACT is one of the most important exams you will take in your high school career. Everything from college admissions to scholarships and merit-based financial aid rests, at least in part, on this nearly four hour long exam. The exam has four sections: reading, English, science, and mathematics. In addition, there is an optional writing portion that requires you to create an essay in 40 minutes, to be scored along with the exam. Many colleges require students to take this essay portion and submit the score with their application. With so many important things relying on your scores from this one exam, it is important to perform your best. Varsity Tutors is here to help.
