If you are a junior or senior student looking for qualified and thorough Cleveland ACT preparation, Varsity Tutors can help you get started. While you may have some time before you start entering your first college courses, many high school students begin their journey to postsecondary education by thinking about college admissions exams such as the ACT. The ACT is one of the two most widely accepted admissions tests. The exam allows students, including those at Saint Ignatius High School and Shaker Heights High School, to showcase their abilities to their colleges of choice. Doing your best on this exam can help you stand out from other applicants during admissions.
The ACT is a five-section exam, though only four sections are required. This comprehensive exam serves to assess your college readiness and skill level. Whether you've been reviewing for the ACT for a few weeks or haven't yet begun preparing, you may be curious as to how you can bolster your test review to get the most out of the time you have before the exam. If you're interested in getting some extra help, let Varsity Tutors connect you with a private mentor or enroll you in a Cleveland ACT prep class that works for your scheduling needs.
What can Cleveland ACT prep help me review?
There are four primary sections of the ACT: English, Math, Reading, and Science. These are the sections that make up your composite score. You can choose to include the Writing section, which offers an independent score that doesn't play a role in your ACT score. In all, you will have three hours to complete the mandatory sections of the ACT. Let's take a deeper look at the different sections of this test.
The English section provides a 45-minute time limit while you work to answer 75 questions. This portion aims to assess your grasp of written English and overall language skills, such as your ability to judge writing styles, grammar, tone, and other components of different passages. This section requires a steady and efficient pace to ensure that you can complete it within the given time frame.
The Math portion of the ACT gives you one hour to answer 60 multiple-choice questions. You will need to demonstrate a solid understanding of the math skills you built since the beginning of your educational career. You will need to know concepts like data collection analysis, modeling expressions, interpreting equations, and functions.
From there is the Reading section, which allows 35 minutes for the 40 questions it covers. There are multiple passages in this section, each of which are followed by related multiple-choice questions about the content. You will face questions that task you with identifying fact or opinion, relationships, summaries, and drawing connections between passages.
The Science section has the same time limit and number of questions as the Reading section. The multiple-choice questions focus on concepts from physics, biology, Earth science, chemistry, and other scientific subjects that you should know.
If you choose to include the Writing section, you will have an additional 40 minutes to read, analyze, and respond to an issue and perspectives about the issue. You will need to be able to present your response in an organized and developed manner.
How can I benefit from different types of Cleveland ACT prep?
Our educational consultants can set you up with two of the most effective types of ACT prep: a Cleveland ACT prep course and private tutoring. Since no two students learn in the same way, you may benefit more from one or the other, or even from a combination of the two. Let's look further into the educational opportunities that each option has to offer and how you can bring efficiency to your review.
Some students learn best when studying with a group. That's where ACT prep classes come in. Prep sessions run concurrently to ensure that you can find something suited to your schedule. Collaborative learning offers a variety of unique benefits, such as the chance to save on your academic investment while working with others to build critical ACT skills. Alongside your peers, you can review the content of the ACT while learning new ways to approach different types of questions. If you're interested in an ACT class, we can help you enroll in online, classroom-based instruction led by an expert instructor who has been thoroughly vetted for their knowledge, experience, and communication skills.
Perhaps you would rather learn in a more personalized environment under the guidance of a private tutor. We can connect you with a Cleveland ACT tutor who can take the type of approach you need to absorb the information. Your private mentor can get to know your individual needs and ACT goals to create a customized review plan that addresses the topics and skills you need rather than painstakingly reviewing everything about the test. Your instructor can assess your skills and readiness through practice tests and sample problems, among other strategies.
Private tutoring can give you the opportunity to engage with the material in a new way. Your mentor works to employ teaching strategies that work for you, whether you learn best through hands-on activity or visual explanations. They can break down content in a variety of different ways to find the best approach for your interests and skills. Working one-on-one allows you to learn at a natural rate without spending time on topics in which you are well-versed.
If you aren't sure what would work best for you, our educational consultants can help you learn more about how different Cleveland ACT prep opportunities that can help encourage and motivate you as you go after your goals.

I have also tutored in the past for ACT/SAT and other subjects such as history, but I am deeply passionate about science and engineering.

...topic (but especially math) by giving them a sense of a larger context. In particular, I love to bring college-level math concepts to students in a way anyone can understand, which often demonstrates WHY the math they're doing matters. It also shows that math can be just plain cool, which I don't think our curricula prioritize enough. Besides teaching, I enjoy practicing parkour and tricking (acrobatic martial arts), playing video games, and reading fiction.
