ABOUT THIS CLASS

This intensive 4-week ACT prep course gives high school students a strategic, section-by-section roadmap to a higher score. Students tackle all four ACT sections — English, Math, Reading, and Science — learning not just the content but the smart test-taking moves that separate good scores from great ones. From plugging in numbers on tricky algebra problems to decoding conflicting viewpoints in the Science section, every session is packed with actionable techniques students can use immediately. Whether you're aiming to crack 30 for the first time or push past a plateau, this course gives you the tools, practice, and confidence to walk into test day ready.

SYLLABUS

The ACT rewards students who know the test — not just the content, but the patterns, the traps, and the strategies that make each section manageable under pressure. This 4-week live course is built around exactly that philosophy: every session combines targeted skill-building with smart test-taking technique, so students leave knowing both what to do and how to do it efficiently when the clock is running.

English: Grammar, Style, and Rhetoric The ACT English section tests far more than whether you paid attention in English class. Students will master the punctuation and sentence structure rules that appear most frequently on the test, learn to spot and fix common grammatical errors, and develop rhetorical skills — understanding how word choice, organization, and tone affect the clarity and effectiveness of a passage. The goal isn't just to recognize a comma splice; it's to make fast, confident decisions on every underlined portion.

Math: Strategies That Actually Work Under Pressure From arithmetic to trigonometry, the ACT Math section covers a wide range of concepts — but knowing the math isn't always enough. Students practice core problem-solving approaches including active reading of word problems, sketching diagrams to visualize geometry questions, using estimation to eliminate unreasonable answer choices, and plugging in numbers or answer choices to bypass complex algebra. These strategies are especially powerful on the hardest questions, where a direct approach can eat up precious time.

Reading: Speed, Comprehension, and Passage Analysis With four passages and 40 questions in 35 minutes, the ACT Reading section demands efficiency. Students develop active reading habits — annotating for main idea, tracking author perspective, and identifying structural shifts — so they can move through passages quickly without sacrificing accuracy. The course also covers how to approach different passage types, from literary fiction to paired social science texts, and how to use the questions themselves as a guide to what matters most.

Science: Data, Experiments, and Conflicting Viewpoints The ACT Science section surprises a lot of students — it's less about memorized facts and more about reading data carefully and thinking like a scientist. Students learn to interpret graphs, tables, and experimental results, evaluate research design, and compare the competing claims made in conflicting viewpoints passages. The course reinforces the fundamental science vocabulary and concepts that support this reasoning, so students feel grounded even when the topic is unfamiliar.

Test Strategy, Pacing, and Confidence Beyond content, this course builds the test-taking mindset that makes a real difference on score day. Students work on time management strategies tailored to each section, practice error analysis to stop making the same mistakes twice, and learn techniques for managing test anxiety and staying focused under pressure. Students also leave with a personalized study plan and a curated toolkit of resources — study guides, templates, and practice materials — to keep building momentum between sessions and beyond.
