If you are a student who is currently attending an institution like Ardrey Kell High School or Myers Park High School, Varsity Tutors can help connect you with the best Charlotte ACT prep options to help you as you prepare to apply to the college or university of your choice. The ACT was created over 50 years ago to assess a student's college and career readiness. The ACT specifically assesses one's retention of the Math, Reading, English, Science, and Writing skills gained up until grade twelve. Many colleges and universities accept the ACT score as part of an admissions application, so you'll want to make sure to make use of every resource available to ensure you perform at your best when you go to take your ACT. A Charlotte ACT prep course or tutor can help you as you work towards setting yourself apart from the crowd in order to impress the admissions office at the college of your choice.
What can a Charlotte ACT prep class cover?
The ACT is a four-section test which takes about 3 hours to complete. If you elect to take the optional Writing section, you'll add 40 minutes to this time. The four required sections are the Math, Reading, English, and Science sections. Each section varies in length and time allowed. Let's take a closer look at the different sections.
The Math section is an hour long assessment of your pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry skills. You'll have to answer 60 questions evaluating skills such as your ability to interpret equations or make geometric calculations. Working through these kinds of problems under the supervision of an ACT prep mentor can help you review skills you may have forgotten.
The next section is measuring your Reading capabilities with 40 questions in which you must read various passages to identify central ideas themes, and find relationships. You'll also need to be able to distinguish between facts and opinions to do well in this 35-minute section of the ACT.
In the English section, you"ll have 45 minutes to showcase your knowledge of the complexities of the English language. You'll be answering 75 questions to demonstrate your capacity to utilize proper sentence structure, grammar, and punctuation. You'll want to work on your ability to develop and organize effective sentences to excel in this part of the ACT.
The Science section of the ACT is the only science assessment found on an undergraduate admissions test and takes 35 minutes to complete. You'll need to answer 40 questions ranging in topics learned during your chemistry, biology, physics, and space/earth science classes through the end of 11th grade. In an ACT prep class, you can make sure you've mastered the Scientific Method as a means of scientific investigation.
The final, and optional, section of the ACT is the Writing assessment. In this part of the exam, you'll be given a passage about an issue and three perspectives. You'll need to use your own knowledge and provided supporting ideas to respond with your own perspective about the given issue. Working with a prep class or instructor can help you practice analytical and comparative writing skills.
What are my Charlotte ACT prep options through Varsity Tutors?
Varsity Tutors is proud to offer two very effective ACT prep options. You can choose between enrolling in an online, collaborative ACT prep class or take advantage of private ACT instruction with a tutor. Both options are able to help you work towards your academic goals but each has its own set of benefits. Let's take a closer look at each.
For students who prefer a social, structured learning environment, you'll find what you're looking for in a Charlotte ACT prep course. Our courses give you the opportunity to see, speak, and hear your instructor online as if he or she is sitting in the room with you. You can ask questions in real time during your class sessions. You can connect to your class session using our online learning environment anywhere you can find a computer and WiFi. This means you can attend class in the comfort of your own home, at the local library, or sitting in a cafe. You'll also be able to interact with your classmates and engage in group discussions or participate in collaborative activities.
You'll be able to choose between taking a two- or four-week course. With new sessions beginning each week at various times, you'll be able to start as soon as you're ready. We make it very easy to fit structured class time into your already busy schedule. If you prefer a less social environment, you can elect to work with a private Charlotte ACT tutor. This gives your instructor the opportunity to create lessons plans based on your exact needs. Working with a private teacher means you won't have to spend time reviewing topics you've already mastered and can instead spend time working on your particular areas which need improvement. Private instruction also gives you the opportunity to create your own schedule and fit your study sessions into your schedule however you'd like.
Some students may even decide to take advantage of both options. No matter which you choose, you can be sure you are receiving instruction from only the most highly qualified instructors due to our extensive interview process.
How do I get started with Charlotte ACT preparation?
