"The student had a lot of energy today! We made flash cards from a previous verbal section to start. While he was focusing on that I made a few math problems to help him with paying attention to signs when working with subtracting negative numbers. Then we took a practice math section test. We then did some harder math questions until the end."

"Today I spent time presenting approaches to a number of questions she has never been exposed to before. We focused on exploring probability questions, multiplication and division of variables in equations, and complex transfers between percentages, fractions and decimals. "

"Today the student wanted help with the ACT's English/Writing section. The student had taken a practice test and wanted help understanding the questions she had gotten wrong or had skipped. We covered several strategies to help her answer the questions, as well as some grammar and writing subjects where she needed some help. On questions related to correct grammar, I encouraged her to read the sentences out loud; generally, when she did so, she was able to hear where there were awkward phrasings or incorrect grammar. I also reminded her to read the instructions thoroughly. We discussed the correct use of apostrophes in plural and possessive words, the terms "subject" and "predicate" in sentence structure, and the correct use of verb tense in long sentences with several clauses. We discussed the difference between tone/style and content, and the importance of knowing which one the question is asking about. On Thursday, she requested that we work on the Reading section of the test. I will also come prepared to talk about sentence clauses. "

"Today, the student and I rounded out the ACT section tutoring with the Science section. We reviewed the different types of passages that he will encounter on the test, as well as the sorts of questions that will be asked and steps to take to answer each one. The student is studying for finals this week on top of preparing for the test and his usual practice, so we'll spend the session we've got scheduled for Friday doing a cursory review of the strategies and techniques and some of the major concepts we've gone over. "

"Today, we did a bit of everything (except reading) to make sure the student is ready and to identify any last-minute problem areas. We started with the science reasoning section, timing each subsection to make sure the student has a sense of pacing. The student's scores were extremely high and he completed each section faster than necessary. As the student pointed out: they give you all the information, you just have to look at the graphs. Next, we worked on English. While his accuracy was very high, we did review "it's" vs. "its" and strategies for the questions that are about style instead of grammar. We ended with math, reviewing advanced trigonometry and logarithmic functions. While these appear rarely on the test, the student is doing well enough to give the trickiest problems a shot. We also reviewed some strategies for finding shapes within the harder geometry problems and for plugging numbers when stumped on an advanced algebra problem. The student understands the logic behind the test now, and I expect his scores will raise accordingly. "

"We covered concepts from the math section including trigonometric ratios, picking values and lines/angles in the plane. We also spent some time drilling science questions."

"The student completed practice problems on multiplying radicals and multi-step inequalities with absolute value."

"We spent a few minutes going over the first math section that the student did for homework. I assigned the rest of the section for next week's homework. We then worked on the "very challenging math problems" example practice questions of each type of questions. The student was surprised to find the kind of thinking that they require."
