The English section contains 75 multiple choice questions, and you will receive 45 minutes to complete it. This section requires you to read passages and revise and edit the text found in those passages. You will also be asked to read these passages and answer questions about the information contained within them. Some of the questions will focus on the passage in its entirety while other questions will zero in on specific sentences. Additionally, you may also be asked to answer questions concerning the grammar, tone, and writing style of the various passages.
The Math section consists of 60 multiple choice questions and you will have 60 minutes to finish it. This section covers a variety of math-related topics, including pre-algebra, intermediate algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. You'll be expected to know how to interpret equations, solving and graphing expressions, and analyzing data, among other topics.
The Reading section consists of 40 multiple choice questions and you will receive 35 minutes to complete this section. Similarly to the English section, the Reading section contains several reading passages. However, this section is more focused on comprehending the passages rather than the mechanical and technical aspects of the passages. This section is designed to measure your ability to use multiple sources to make decisions, your ability to read a text closely, and your ability to reason logically.
Finally, the Science section contains 40 multiple choice questions and you will have 35 minutes to complete it.

What are the benefits of different types of Detroit ACT preparation?
As you work on preparing for the ACT, Varsity Tutors can set you up with two different types of review, including prep courses and private tutoring. Each of these options has unique benefits, but many students benefit from utilizing both options.
ACT prep courses include working with an instructor and other students. A Detroit ACT prep class is designed to be similar to a classroom-based course but takes place in an online environment for added convenience. You can choose between a two or four-week course depending on your needs. The prep class has a set curriculum and allows for a more discussion-based format. This option can be beneficial because it tends to be structured. However, if you have specific questions about a particular topic, you can also have one-on-one time with your instructor where you can ask questions. This option could also be useful for people who prefer to work in a group setting.
If you prefer more personal attention, working with a Detroit ACT tutor can be helpful. There are several ways in which a private instructor can help you prepare for the ACT. One of the biggest focuses when it comes to your preparation involves reviewing material that may show up on the exam. Working with an ACT tutor can help in this regard because your tutor can work with you at your preferred pace. You can also have more control over what topics you cover.
Additionally, working with a tutor can help in terms of having someone to explain material in a way that matches your exact learning style. This can be more difficult to achieve in a group setting because everyone in the group may not learn in the same way. It may not be possible for the instructor to teach the material in multiple different ways. Your tutor can identify how you learn and use different approaches that resonate with you.
How can I find ACT review in Detroit?
Varsity Tutors can help you connect with the type of ACT review that works best for your needs. Whether you feel like you could benefit more from working in a group setting in a Detroit ACT prep course or you prefer a more individual approach by working with a private instructor, we can help you get started.
One of the greatest benefits of these is that either option can take place online. As such, it is easier to find an option that works best for you. You can meet with your instructor or attend your online class anywhere that you have a stable Internet connection. If you feel like you could benefit from taking a Detroit ACT prep course or working with a Detroit ACT tutor, contact Varsity Tutors either online or over the phone.
