A Virginia Beach ACT prep course offered through 51Թ can help you prepare for the ACT. The ACT is a comprehensive exam and incorporates skills you have learned as you have progressed through your schooling. High school students like those attending Ocean Lakes High School who want to include college in their future, frequently have to complete this college admissions test requirement. You want to perform at your best because your scores are a primary deciding factor in the decision to admit you into a college or university.
Your ACT will have four to five sections with different time allotments and a different number of questions in each one. You must have strong time management skills to complete your exam within the time frame effectively. Guessing is allowed, so you want to make sure you answer each question. Do not let the stresses of taking the ACT restrict you from embarking on your quest for educational opportunity and possibilities. Now we will have a general review of what is on the ACT.
Does the Virginia Beach ACT class use materials that are comparable to the actual exam?
The materials that you will review in the classes are parallel to the materials that you will be tested on for the ACT. The test has five different sections: Math, Reading, Science, English, and Writing. The only optional part of the exam is Writing. Without including breaks, testing time for the four required sections lasts slightly under three hours. You will have the opportunity to take a break. However, the time used for breaks does not count in the three hours of total testing time. You will need to work quickly throughout the exam because you want to try to provide an answer to all of the questions, as there's no penalty for guessing.
Let's begin with the Math section. You will have 60 minutes to answer all 60 questions within the allotted time frame. Your knowledge of pre-algebra, elementary and intermediate algebra, geometry and trigonometry will play a significant role in your scoring results. All of the questions on the Math section are in multiple-choice format. Some topics you may want to review are common mathematical concepts, including your ability to read and interpret data from graphs, functions, reliable measurement calculations, and equation interpretation.
Next, we will have a brief overview of the Reading section of the ACT. As you are completing the Reading section of the exam, you will encounter more multiple-choice questions. A common practice for the ACT is to present passage-based questions that use skills that students will need within their first year of college studies. You will be asked to identify central ideas, summarize text, and show knowledge of different types of relationships. Some questions also cover word meanings, and others ask you to showcase your abilities to differentiate between fact and opinion. The time allotment for this portion of the ACT is 35 minutes, and you are expected to answer 40 questions within that time frame.
Throughout the Science portion of the ACT, you will have to respond to questions in a multiple-choice format. The subjects that will be covered in this section of the ACT are biology, chemistry, physics, and Earth science. You will be given 35 minutes to respond to 40 questions. The questions will measure your problem-solving, evaluation, and reasoning skills. You must be able to effectively manipulate scientific data that is presented to you in various formats as well as show your knowledge of the scientific method and procedures.
The fourth section we will explain focuses on your knowledge of English. You want to reflect your understanding of grammar and the English language. The questions you will be required to answer will be in multiple-choice, passage-based formats. The concepts in this section are topic development, organization, unity, and cohesiveness. You will want to pay attention to the tone and the style of the passages because the ability to successfully utilize these concepts can assist you in responding to questions correctly. You will also have to show your knowledge of sentence completion, basic punctuation, and other general conventions that commonly pertain to English.
You can also opt to take the Writing section of the ACT; however, this is not required. If you choose to take the writing portion of the exam, you are given an additional 40 minutes to respond to a single prompt in essay format. You will have to show your skills in connecting written work by choosing one of three responses that are given and relating the selected answer to your written response. You will have to rely heavily on your drafting and thought organization skills.
