This Group Course is comprised of eight sessions dedicated to all sections of the test, including Math, Reading, English, Science, and Writing. Each of the eight sessions is 3.0 hours to simulate a real testing experience and get students accustomed to testing for this length of time. These sessions are structured as follows and tailored to each group:
Math: Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Coordinate Geometry, Plane Geometry, and Trigonometry
Reading: Prose Fiction, Humanities, Social Studies, and Natural Sciences
English: Usage/Mechanics (Punctuation, Grammar and Usage, Sentence Structure) and Rhetorical Skills (Strategy, Organization, and Style)
Science: Biology, Chemistry, Earth/Space Sciences, and Physics – Data Representation,Research Summaries, and Conflicting Viewpoints
Writing: Essay Response
Course Material Includes:

On the ACT, the Math questions are multiple-choice questions with five answer choices. The
directions and format for the questions are as follows:
Directions:
Solve each problem, chose the correct answer, and then fill in the corresponding oval on your
answer document. Do not linger over problems that take too much time. Solve as many as you
can; then return to the others in the time you have left for this test. You are permitted to use a
calculator on this test. You may use your calculator for any problems you choose, but some of
the problems may best be done without using a calculator. Note: Unless otherwise stated, all of
the following should be assumed.
The ACT Program can help you perfect these 7 tips and many more!
1. Build a rigorous study plan.
Once you have registered for the ACT and have a confirmed test date, create a study schedule.Plan out what you are going to study on a certain day, when you will study, where you will study, how long you will study and your goals for each day. Stick to your designed plan!
2. Review important concepts.
An exhaustive review of concepts in Math subjects –arithmetic, algebra, statistics, and geometry– is utmost important!!!!!! It is necessary to have a strong foundation and understanding of key terms and equations before you begin applying this knowledge to ACT Quantitative problems.
3. Identify areas for improvement.
You should understand why incorrect answers are incorrect. Identify your areas of improvement,and focus to strengthening these areas to its max.
4. Practice, Practice, and right amount of Practice!
In any walk of life, it takes lot of practice to become the best in that category. It is true with ACT exam as well as well. So, practice all different kind of problems repeatedly and exhaustively in a given time frame will push you in top percentile.
5. Simulate a real testing environment when studying.
Student will have 3.5 hours to complete the full ACT(including the Writing test). Treat your study time as if you are taking the real exam. Block out all distractions, limit interruptions and focus throughout your study hours. This will be good training for the real exam.
6. Time yourself.
The ACT is divided into 4 or 5 sections, depending on if you opt to take the Writing test in addition to the English, Math, Reading, and Science tests. You have 30 minutes to answer the questions in the Writing section, 35 minutes for the Science section, 35 minutes for the Reading section, 45 minutes for the English section, and 60 minutes for the Mathematics section. Refer to the table below to see a breakdown of the sections and the time allotment for each. For the Math section, you are allotted 60 minutes for 60 questions. That is one minute per question, on average. Identify the shortest method to get to the correct answer. For example, for the Math section, sometimes solving a problem algebraically is the quickest way to get to the answer.Other times, using a strategy such as Pick-A-Number or Back-Solve is the quickest method.
7. Take as many full-length practice tests as possible.
Practicing the entire test without any breaks is good practice for the real test. Most students have trouble focusing for an extended period. Practice getting into your zone and blocking out distractions. Practice sitting in the same chair at a desk for 3 hours and 30 minutes.
