Session Summaries by Tutors

The student and I worked mostly on science again this week. She did a good job, as usual, employing strategies we've talked about on her practice sections. Since this was our last science session, we talked about strategies for actual ACT day, and she asked some GREAT questions. We also did two reading passages, which she did great on (I think only missed one question per section!).

Overview of previous test scores and expectations, basic SAT strategies, and 2 chapters of test prep book (Critical Reading sections); assigned practice test (multiple choice sections) as homework for next session to establish baseline.

The student and I wrapped up our ACT preparations today with a drill session over his weaker areas. We worked several mathematical word problems together until he became accustomed to noticing and applying the details of the word problems. We've focused on punctuation-based English questions, so we worked a couple dozen more of those until his success rate rose significantly. We both decided to have him work through an experiment passage, on which he missed no questions at all. Today's successes appear to have greatly boosted the student's confidence. Because of that confidence boost, his overall great practice test scores, and our final review of how to prepare the night before the ACT, I think he will do very well on Saturday.

We started off by going over a few of his tests and discussing the things he didn't understand. I used this time to identify his strengths and weaknesses and to start to figure out how we are going to proceed from this point.

Reviewed a problem for statics involving the tension in three cables attached to a hot air balloon and balance of forces. We moved on and reviewed her physics homework problems including vector forces, dimensional analysis and logarithmic problems.

Covered the basics of the 4 subjects that are offered on the ACT. The student has a good background in English, and needs to work on reading quicker. Also needs more experience with Science and Math ACT type questions.
