ACT Math Prep

Live Zooms Begin Thursday, August 10th

Benefits of ACT Math Prep:

#1 Creating competitive candidate – Although a perfect ACT score doesn’t guarantee admission into a top university, good test scores can keep them out of the rejection pile. Admissions rates at top universities are at some of their lowest in history and students who receive an ACT score that falls in the average range of their target school has greater potential for admission consideration.

#2 Proper preparation- Successful students prepare themselves for any test with proper studying and the ACT test requires that type of preparation. Utilizing test prep resources, studying and taking practice ACT tests helps students improve their score and avoid college rejection.

#3 Varying curriculum in schools- The course load of every student and the curriculum of every school varies. ACT prep gives students the ability to understand and master materials and concepts they may lack familiarity with, which can improve scores.

#4 Familiarization with tests- Taking one or more practice ACT test under actual test conditions helps students gain familiarity with the test and can help improve their scores. Focusing on areas they may struggle with and using proven test-taking techniques can raise scores and those higher scores give students better odds of acceptance in schools they may have thought were out of their reach.

#5 College opportunities- The debate continues on whether or not standardized tests adequately measure a student’s ability. However, the fact remains that many college admissions officers don’t have the time or resources to look through and read every applicant’s essays and high school transcript, which means they usually look at ACT and/or SAT scores first. This makes ACT prep extremely important for a student who wants to achieve their best possible score for placement on their college application.

#6 Worthwhile, investment- Various scholarships and merit-based financial aid base part of their award on a student’s ACT or SAT scores so the money invested in ACT prep is a worthwhile investment in any student’s future.

#7 Employer requirement of test scores- In today’s competitive job market, many businesses require that applications submit SAT and/or ACT scores along with their cover letter and resume. Despite the fact that there’s no proven correlation between higher standardized test scores and workplace performance, some companies place great value on these scores.
