Varsity Tutors can help students prepare for college entry exams by setting them up with a comprehensive Boulder ACT course. If you or your student needs extra assistance when reviewing the in-depth material covered in this exam, this online learning experience is one of the best ways to move forward.
Students from top schools in the area, including Fairview High School and Boulder High School, all prepare for college entrance exams like the ACT if they want to go to college. How well you perform on this test plays a role in whether you get accepted into a good college or not, so it's important that you approach test day confident and ready. Many students admit that preparing for the ACT is challenging due to the comprehensive nature of the exam. If you find the study process overwhelming or confusing, you may benefit from taking a Boulder ACT course to freshen up.
What does the Boulder ACT course cover?
The ACT is divided up into four sections: Math, Reading, English, and Science. Each section asks a series of questions that tests your knowledge of that subject and what you've learned throughout your high school education. You'll be given 2 hours and 55 minutes, breaks excluded, to complete the entire test. While this seems like a lot of time, keep in mind that the ACT covers a lot of content, so it's important that you're prepared for test day so you don't get stuck on a few challenging questions. But that's not all. The test also has an optional writing component, the ACT Plus Writing, which adds an additional 40 minutes to your testing time.
You'll have an hour to complete the Math section, which consists of 60 questions covering topics like geometry, trigonometry, and all algebra. When studying for this portion, make sure to familiarize yourself with concepts from pre-algebra as well as elementary and intermediate algebra.
The Reading section is comprised of 40 questions that you'll have 35 minutes to answer. Here, you'll be given several passages to read. You'll need to extract information from these passages to answer the questions. This can be difficult, as you'll need to have strong analytical skills and be able to use contextual clues to solve problems.
Next is the English section. This portion of the test looks at your understanding and command of the English language. It consists of 75 questions which you'll need to answer in 45 minutes. Everything from your understanding of grammar to your ability to correctly apply English's various styles and tones is evaluated in this section.
The 40-question Science portion looks at your understanding of scientific concepts, as well as your ability to solve problems by interpreting data. This section lasts 35 minutes and covers a number of challenging topics, from earth sciences to more difficult subjects like biology, chemistry, and physics.
Finally, there's the optional Writing component. You're given 40 minutes to complete this section and are assessed on your command of written English as well as your ability to create a well-structured argument. The format of the Writing section is simple: you're given an issue with multiple perspectives, and then you're asked to write your own response to this issue while comparing and contrasting elements from one or more of the perspectives given.
How does a Boulder ACT class help me prepare?
The course is held in an online, collaborative environment led by a professional instructor. There, you'll work alongside other college-bound students who are also preparing for the ACT. It's this collaborative element that gives most students an advantage over those who self-study. That's because instead of memorizing formulas and definitions, you're actively working together to overcome problems. You and your peers can share knowledge, offer tips, and learn in an engaging virtual classroom that helps you gain a true understanding of the material.
But the benefits of a Boulder ACT class don't stop there. Along with offering the same level of interaction as a real-world classroom, the class is completely flexible. You can choose when and where you want to study, making it an attractive choice for students who're busying and constantly on the go. In fact, many students prefer learning in virtual classrooms because of their stress-free nature. Since you don't have to worry about cramming a study session into your already busy day, you can review important concepts at a time that works for you. This is important for creating a peaceful learning environment that minimizes stress and anxiety when it's time to take the actual exam.
How can I find a Boulder ACT prep course?
If you're someone who benefits from learning through engagement, enrolling in a Boulder ACT course could be one of the smartest decisions you've ever made. Performing well on the ACT could increase your chances of getting accepted into a top school and could even increase your chances of receiving some scholarships.
Moreover, our virtual courses are designed to accommodate you. You get to decide whether you want to hop on and review during your lunch break, engage in comprehensive study sessions over the weekend, or devote a few hours every night to preparing for your entrance exam. Unlike in-person courses, our course is able to accommodate even the busiest of schedules. That way, you don't have to worry about cramming entire subjects in a limited amount of time. You can pace yourself and learn on your time, which can increase your chances of memorizing and understanding important information.
Don't leave something as major as the ACT up to chance. Learn under the guidance of a professional instructor alongside other students committed to doing their best on test day. Are you ready to invest in your professional and academic future? Contact Varsity Tutors today and let us help you enroll in a Boulder ACT class that can help you reach for all of your academic goals, increasing your likelihood of success in college and beyond. We can't wait to get you started so you can see how great ACT prep can be.

I am quite passionate about education, since I feel it is the key to any sort of satisfying life. As the saying goes, knowledge is power, and knowledge can give you comfort and help guide you through a world that is often frustrating, convoluted, and dissatisfying. I have channeled this passion into teaching astronomy, which I majored in. I also taught some history and religion topics as head of a secular club in college.

Yuli: Boulder ACT course instructor
Throughout college and my two years as a math teacher, I found that there isn't one best teaching method. Instead, each student is unique and this reflects in their learning style. A good teacher will be able to change strategies to accommodate for differences in learning styles. I hope to be the best teacher that I can be by listening to my students and adjust my style of teaching to fit the student's needs.... I believe in teaching that is catered towards the individual. Tutoring on a one-to-one level allows the teacher to incorporate strategies that are best suited to the student's learning style.
