PreACT Tutoring FAQ
The ACT, which originally stood for American College Test, is a standardized test used for college admissions in the United States and some of Canada. The ACT tests students in five core areas: English, science, mathematics, reading, and an optional writing portion. If your child is looking for some additional help with preACT studying, contact Varsity Tutors today to be set up with an academic professional!
Here are some of the topics a preACT tutor can cover with you:
Grammar and sentence structure
Algebra, geometry, trigonometry
Reading comprehension
Interpretation, reasoning, and problem-solving
Writing skills
High school preACT tutoring gives you the chance to feel comfortable with the structure of the test. Working with a preACT tutor allows you to practice test questions that resemble the same structure found on the ACT. You can also practice using the vocabulary that will be found on the test. If a student feels comfortable with the structure of the test, they are less likely to miss a question due to misunderstanding. Working with a tutor can also help build the student's confidence going into the test.
PreACT tutoring also allows you to practice the format of the ACT. Each core area of the test is allotted a certain time limit for a certain amount of questions. A timed test can bring anxiety towards students. By practicing timed tests, students are able to get a feel for how much time they have to answer each question.
PreACT tutoring provides students with a focused support throughout the studying process. Studying for the ACT can be extremely overwhelming. A tutor can provide a structured environment free of distraction for the student. PreACT tutoring allows the student to work on information that is keeping them from succeeding. A tutor will also be knowledgeable about what content is relevant and can help guide the student while studying. A preACT tutor will have experience in ACT preparation and strategies of studying that have worked in the past. A tutor can work with the student to find the best strategy of studying that works for them.
The ACT is an important test for any student looking to go on to a postsecondary education.
