Recent ACT Science Tutoring Session Notes

Online ACT Science Tutoring review by Ian
We focused particularly on combining text evidence with logical conclusions, experimental design, and anticipating key information during reading. As with Math, student showed potential to score in the low 30s when controlling for outside factors. The student is very bright, and her experience in AP-level courses shows when anxiety is removed as an obstacle. We therefore concluded with a conversation about how to enter the test with the right physical and mental composure, and cultivating awareness of the standardized test format (and how to approach it with confidence).

Online ACT Science Tutoring review by Lee
We had our first meeting today. We spent the day studying ACT science. We made it through two of the three types of questions on the science ACT and most of the third. I assigned a science section of the ACT, and next time we will work on a different topic.

Online ACT Science Tutoring review by Tarana
We worked heavily on the ACT science section today. The student spent some time working on his own while I timed his progress. He is still taking too much time to finish a section by about ten minutes so we need to work on better strategies to allow him to work faster. I noticed that he often misreads questions or skips over key details so we are also trying to work on making sure he not only understands the main idea of a science passage but doesn't lose sight of what is being asked of him. I assigned the student to work on a full length practice test and time himself this weekend.

Online ACT Science Tutoring review by Patrick
The student and I continued working through the science portion of the ACT. He scored a 22. Compared to his initial score of a 12, this is indicative of significant progress. When we went over the questions he answered incorrectly, he was often able to easily find the correct answer. The student will want to work on reading the questions more closely and more completely. There is little doubt he has the capabilities of score at or near 30. We will focus on science for the next three sessions and then begin reviewing the English portion of the test. Overall, the student has come a long way since our first session. So long as he can stay focused and positive, he will do very well come September.

Online ACT Science Tutoring review by Jaclyn
We talked about her goals and general test-taking skills before launching into Science. I think she's capable of doing very well on the ACT given her reasoning skills and intelligence, and after walking through some problems and explaining different approaches, she seems much more confident and better-prepared. I'm excited to see how she does on her practice test she has for homework!

Online ACT Science Tutoring review by Yocheved
The student is definitely gaining familiarity with the test and confidence in her skills on the science section. She is able to scan the articles and move through the questions at a good pace (she averages a little less than a minute per question).

What is the ACT Science Test?

The ACT Science test is one of the four required sections of the broader ACT. The ACT is a college admissions test that is generally taken by high school students who are preparing to graduate and apply to college. Your score on the ACT will be used as a key factor by the colleges that you apply to in deciding your ultimate admissions decision. This means that earning a good score on the ACT can help you get accepted into more competitive universities. A solid score on this exam could even earn you additional scholarship offers.

As its name implies, the ACT Science section consists of a series of questions that assess your understanding of important scientific subjects. In addition to testing your scientific knowledge, this section of the exam will also ask you to show your ability to do things like analyzing, interpreting, and evaluating information as well as your ability to problem-solve using reasoning skills. Each of the questions that you'll be asked to answer will contain four or five options. Your job will be to determine which of these options is correct.

The creators of this part of the ACT want to see how well you're able to perform the functions that will be required of you in your college science class. For example, you'll be asked to do things like recognize trends in data, study tables, graphs, and diagrams, as well as to manipulate and analyze scientific data, among other things. These are skills that you can get help with when you sign up to work with an ACT Science tutor. Consider reaching out to us directly if you'd like to start learning from experienced ACT Science tutors.

What Will Be On the Exam?

As detailed above, when taking the ACT Science section you can expect to be tested on numerous important academic skills. The questions that you'll answer will also feature content related to some of the most important scientific subject areas. For example, when taking your exam, you'll find questions on things like biology, earth and space sciences, chemistry, and more. You'll also find questions that are related to astronomy and geology, among other things. However, no advanced knowledge of these subjects is required to answer the questions that you'll find on your exam.

The ACT Science section is broken down into three primary content areas. The first content area covers the interpretation of data. This content area accounts for 45 - 55% of the total questions in the section. The next category, scientific investigation, accounts for 20 - 30% of the questions in the section. Finally, the remaining 25 - 35% of the ACT Science section is made up of questions on the evaluation of models, inferences, and experimental results.

How Important is Your ACT Science Score?

As one of just four required ACT sections, your score on this part of the exam will be an important contributing factor to your overall ACT score. This alone is enough reason to take your test preparation process for the ACT Science section seriously. Additionally, though, your score on this part of the ACT can provide the colleges that you apply to with considerable information about your strengths and weaknesses as a student.

For example, if you plan on applying to a degree program that deals with technical or scientific subjects, then earning a solid score on the ACT Science section is a great way to signify your potential to excel in these types of programs. Even if you don't earn a top tier overall score on the ACT, a top tier score in the Science section can signify to the schools that you apply to that you're someone who would do well if accepted into one of their science programs. Working with a private test prep instructor is a great way to develop the skills that you need to do well on this part of the ACT.

Additionally, your ACT Science score isn't just useful to the colleges that you apply to attend. It's also useful for you. For example, if you're able to earn a great score on this part of the ACT, then you'll show yourself that you have significant potential to work in a field that demands technical or scientific knowledge. While preparing for this part of the ACT, you can also get a sense of the specific scientific skills and topics that you have a natural proficiency in. This could lead you to pursue a career that utilizes the skills that come easily for you. For example, you may do well on the ACT Science section and go on to pursue a job in psychology, clinical research, criminal justice, or more.

How Does ACT Science Tutoring Work?

Getting prepared to take the ACT Science section could be a lot easier for you if you start working with ACT Science tutors. If you're interested in doing this, then the best way to get started with the process is by reaching out to us directly. We'll begin by getting to know you and things about you. This is a process where we'll learn about your test goals, scheduling requirements, and existing academic skill set. From there, we'll make every effort to connect you with an experienced instructor who can meet your educational and scheduling requirements. This makes it easy to get started with an ACT Science tutor even if you already have an extremely busy schedule.

Once you get matched with the right ACT Science tutor for your needs, you'll be able to start working with them quickly. Your instructor will spend some of your time together early on identifying your specific strengths and weaknesses with regards to the topics on the ACT Science section. From there, they can create a customized lesson plan for you that's based on those needs and that's targeted with your growth in mind. You'll be able to work through each part of these lessons at your own speed and stop to get additional guidance whenever you need it.

Additionally, while helping you study for the ACT Science section, ACT Science tutors can also help you develop your general test-taking abilities. For example, are you someone who has struggled with test anxiety in the past? If so, then your instructor can spend some of your time together showing you relaxation techniques that you can use while taking the ACT. This can help you remain focused on the task at hand during your exam and may make it easier to remember the material that you studied while preparing for it.

Similarly, your instructor can also show you how to deal with restrictive time limits on challenging exams. The ACT Science section has a time limit so this will be relevant for your upcoming test. However, these are skills that you'll be able to use on any exam that you take in the future as well. Through working with your instructor, you'll also get a sense of what an ideal test preparation plan looks like so you'll know what to do in the future when you have to take another challenging exam.

In all, the tutoring process is one that can be completely personalized to match your unique needs as a student. This is what makes it such a beneficial academic supplement. The individualized attention and personalized focus that you get from your instructor are hard to match through other academic opportunities. For example, classroom learning is targeted with the needs of an entire group of students in mind rather than just your needs.
