When looking at colleges, you will notice you need to take a college admission exam. Varsity Tutors can help you prepare with their Milwaukee ACT prep options. The first day of college seems a long way away for many students, but it doesn't mean that Milwaukee ACT preparation should not start today. Before you can even think about filling out your college applications, you will need to take a college admission exam such as the ACT.
Many students in the Milwaukee area, including those at West High School and Marquette University High School, will take the ACT. The score you receive on this test will be factored into the college's admission process.
Whether you just thought about starting ACT preparation or you are in the middle of studying, you may be curious about how you can make the most out of your study sessions. Varsity Tutors will help you get in touch with a Milwaukee tutor or they can help you get enrolled in a Milwaukee ACT prep course that can fit into your schedule. It doesn't matter what type of ACT prep help you are in need of. We can guide you to the right resources that will fit your needs and schedule.
What can Milwaukee ACT prep cover?
The ACT test is composed of four mandatory sections. These sections include English, Science, Reading, and Math. The ACT also offers a fifth optional Writing section. The test will take around 3 hours without any breaks for the four mandatory sections. If you want to take the Writing section, the test will take an additional 40 minutes. We will now further talk about the sections you will see on the ACT test.
For the English section, you will have to answer 75 questions within 45 minutes. You will need to use your time as efficiently as you can. In this section, there will be short passages you will need to read along with answering questions pertaining to writing style, tone, and grammar.
For the Math section, you will have to answer 60 questions in 60 minutes. Again, you will have to use your time as efficiently as you can. This section will test your skills that you've learned throughout trigonometry, elementary algebra, pre-algebra, intermediate algebra, plane geometry, and coordinate geometry. While you may think one minute per question is a lot of time, you will want to hone in on learning functions, interpreting equations, graphing various expressions, number systems, numerical reasoning, and geometric shapes.
For the Reading section, you will have to answer 40 questions in 35 minutes. The Reading section is very similar to the English section. You will be required to read a few short passages and answer a variety of questions. The questions you will be answering will test you on not only your reading comprehension but if you can determine word and phrase meanings, make connections among various texts, and distinguish between facts and opinions.
For the Science section, you will have to answer 40 questions in 35 minutes. The Science section will test you on topics pulled from Earth and space science, physics, chemistry, and biology. All questions are multiple-choice and will be testing you on your problem-solving, scientific analysis, and reasoning skills.
As previously stated, the Writing section of the ACT is optional. If you choose to complete this section, you will have 40 minutes to do so. The section will require you to write an essay on a single topic that they will provide. You will need to write a clear, well-developed, and supported essay. It is vital to organize your ideas logically and have a strong command of English to put your best foot forward on this section of the test.
What are the benefits of different types of Milwaukee ACT prep?
When it comes to preparing for the ACT, Varsity Tutors can help connect you with a Milwaukee ACT tutor, they can sign you up for a prep class, or they can get you set up with both. First up, let's talk about how a Milwaukee ACT tutor sessions and a prep class can help you further prepare for the exam. For those who are interested in participating in a prep class, they are a fully interactive online experience. New classes start every week. You can choose from taking a two-week or a four-week session. By taking a Milwaukee ACT prep class, you will feel confident knowing you are learning the correct material from an expert instructor.
During class sessions, you will be able to collaborate and interact with your peers and the instructor. You will be allowed to work in groups with your peers and have discussions as well. This environment is not only made to be collaborative, but it will also teach you the topics you will need to know when taking the ACT. If and when you decide to enroll in a Milwaukee ACT course, you will also have the opportunity to have a one-on-one talk with the instructor to go over any areas you may need extra help in.
If a group interaction is not your speed and you would rather have a more personal interaction, we can help you get in touch with a Milwaukee ACT prep tutor. You can work with a private instructor who can help you review the topics of the test thoroughly. The instructor will have the opportunity to learn your strengths, weaknesses, and learning style to tailor the study sessions to maximize them based on your needs. You will be able to go over any areas you may not feel comfortable in one-on-one with the instructor longer than if you opted in for the prep class.

"Any fool can know. The point is to understand." -Albert Einstein... To date, I have found that it is best to view tutoring as a team endeavor. I am a player on a student's team with the goal of academic success and increased intellectual understanding. This outcome is impossible without getting down to the student's level, utilizing age appropriate vocabulary, providing constructive criticism, and establishing their baseline. I have found that reviewing a student's past work can provide me a quick glimpse into their tendencies and trends and may help to expedite their tutoring experience. I have also found that students who seek to succeed, more often do so than those who are forced to partake in tutoring sessions by their parents or guardians. Towards this end, I seek to converse with a student honestly about their motivation to pursue tutoring services and act accordingly. An unmotivated student may require some help to see how their goals in life actually do require successful completion and understanding of a particular subject. A motivated student may require support to overcome the obstacle that is holding them back, or the guidance necessary to achieve their desired aims.

Joel: Milwaukee ACT test prep instructor
It is my opinion that the largest reason a student doesn't like any given subject is that it hasn't been explained properly. Not understanding a subject matter, especially math, can lead to major frustration. I believe that given the right amount of help any student can start to enjoy the subject matter and enjoy learning in general.... The best way for a student to learn is to do the problems or examples themselves. The tutor can help explain and walk the student through the problem, but they will not learn the subject until they do the work themselves.
