The ACT is made up of four sections, plus an additional essay section which is optional, though depending on the school you want to get into, it may be required. The English section covers punctuation, sentence structure, grammar, style, and more. The math section covers pre-algebra through trigonometry. The reading section will test you on reading comprehension, and the science section focuses on interpretation, analysis, evaluation, reasoning, and problem solving. It is likely that with such a variety of things being tested, you will need some help on at least one, if not two or more, of the sections. Call our directors to find an ACT tutor in Shawnee Mission, KS, who could help you work to try to attain more confidence in the ACT.
Your tutor will assess you, likely with a diagnostic test that is similar to the actual ACT you will be taking, to find where you are strong and where you need help. They will then develop lesson plans specifically focused on the areas you need to work on. This is the kind of individualized attention you would never get in a classroom setting. Your tutor will take as much time as necessary on each aspect of the test, and that includes going much more quickly over things you are comfortable with.
