What can I review during my time in Memphis ACT prep?
Before we discuss the preparation options that are available, let's take a moment and examine the individual sections of the exam. There are four mandatory sections of the ACT which are Math, Reading, English, and Science. Each of the mandatory sections is scored from 1 to 36. The exam as a whole receives a score from 1 to 36. The optional Writing section of the exam is scored from 2 to 12, and this score does not factor into the combined score for the exam. All questions on the mandatory sections of the exam are in multiple-choice format.
The Math section of the ACT assesses mathematical skills that are commonly taught up to 12th grade. These ideas include number systems, functions, and both coordinate and plane geometry.

You may use certain approved calculators to assist you in this section.
In the Reading section, you will encounter several passages that you must interpret. The questions you answer in this section are about as difficult as the sorts of reading comprehension challenges that a first-year college curriculum would present. You will have a chance to display your ability to identify themes and ideas, make connections across different texts, differentiate between facts and opinions, and understand the meaning of particular words and phrases. This section contains 40 questions that you will have 35 minutes to complete.
The English section of the exam asks you to demonstrate your understanding of the structure, rules, and conventions of the English language.

The Writing section takes 40 minutes to complete, during which time you will respond to one writing prompt. In this section, you will read three pieces that address a particular topic or issue.

Hi! I'm Rachel. I have a pretty relaxed teaching style and adapt well to all kinds of students. I really aim for students to understand concepts rather than make great test scores. However, great test scores are a good side effect of understanding concepts better.

I believe in the power of an educated mind and have taken the responsibility to create an environment conducive to academic success for my students. ... To educate is to become better educated; it is a circular process that improves with time. I believe the responsibility of educators is to provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills to succeed academically and personally. My teaching philosophy is based on the belief that education is the solution to many social issues we face today. As an educator, I will strive to encourage excellence in my students and myself. Course material should be challenging, interactive and relevant to current issues and events. Students learn and retain more information if the material is presented in an environment that is interesting and interactive. I strive to be a catalyst for others to pursue their highest potential.
