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.

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.

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.

...instruction that meets the individual needs of my students. A student-centered approach is imperative when working one-on-one with individuals. English, literature, and writing are the three areas that I have the most experience and fun teaching. When I am not in the classroom or tutoring, I am hiking in the bluffs of Wisconsin or chasing after my young son. I also enjoy reading historical fiction novels and traveling to historical sites.... One of the greatest pleasures in teaching is achieving a strong level of mutual trust; when a struggling student opens up and feels a sense of worth, real academic achievement can occur. Many students need different opportunities for educational growth: mainly one-on-one attention. This allows a teacher to recognize and nurture the multiple intelligences of each student and then discover approaches that have yielded previous success. Being an effective educator means being flexible enough to take risks and try fresh, creative approaches to new challenges.
