Test Preparation - ACT

The ACT – American College Testing. ACT is a leading college entrance exam that evaluates a student’s readiness for college. It helps measure what you learn in high school so as to determine your academic readiness for college. The ACT has 5 components: English, Mathematics, Reading, Science, and an optional Writing Test.

Test Format

The ACT Test Format is divided into 4 sections namely,
English
75 Questions to be answered in 45 minutes, It measures the standard written English and rhetorical skills

Mathematics
60 Questions to be answered in 60 minutes, It measures the mathematical skills students have typically acquired in courses taken up to the beginning of grade 12

Reading
40 Questions to be answered in 35 minutes, Measures reading comprehension

Science
40 Questions to be answered in 35 minutes,Measures the interpretation, analysis, evaluation, reasoning, and problem-solving skills required in the natural sciences.

Optional Writing Test
1 Prompt to be answered in 40 minutes, It measures writing skills emphasized in high school English classes and in entry-level college composition courses.

The Total duration of the entire Test Format is 3 hours 35 minutes

Sections

English : The test consists of five essays or passages, each of which is accompanied by a sequence of multiple-choice test questions. Six elements of effective writing are included in the English Test: punctuation, grammar and usage, sentence structure, strategy, organization and style.

Mathematics : The ACT mathematics test is a 60-questions, 60-minutes test designed to assess the mathematical skills students have typically acquired in courses taken up to the beginning of grade 12.

Reading : The reading test is a 40-questions, 35-minutes test that measures your reading comprehension. The test questions ask you to derive meaning from several texts by referring to what is explicitly stated and by reasoning to determine implicit meaning.

Science : The science test is a 40-questions, 35-minutes test that measures the interpretation, analysis, evaluation, reasoning and problem-solving skills required in the natural sciences. You are not permitted to use a calculator on the science test.

Writing : The writing test is a 40-minutes essay test that measures your writing skills – specifically those writing skills emphasized in high school English classes and in entry-level college composition courses.

Scoring

Composite score and each test score (English, Mathematics, Reading, Science) range from 1 (low) to 36 (high). The Composite Score is the average of your four test scores, rounded to the nearest whole number. Fractions less than one-half are rounded down; fractions one-half or more are rounded up.

Subscores (Usage/Mechanics, Rhetorical Skills, etc.) are calculated in the same way, but subscores range from 1 (low) to 18 (high). There is no direct, arithmetic relationship between subscores and test scores – this means your subscores do not necessarily add up to test score.
Good Score 30 / 36

Teaching pedagogy for ACT
For English part, every session begins with concept teaching of a particular topic. Teachers solve problems of different types to show how concept is applied. Teachers focuses on crucial areas like punctuation, grammar and usage, sentence structure and so on.
Mathematics part start with the detailed information of different types of questions, so that they develop mathematical skills and our teachers brush up the topics which they learned at the beginning of grade 12.
Science part starts with introduction of different topics i.e graphs, tables and other schematic form, research summaries.

Training

Further on, exercises are assigned from real act guide.
For reading, our teachers provide the details about various question types and explain the approach to answer the same. After introductory discussion, the passages are assigned and students are asked to complete the same. Towards the end of each test, every question is discussed with the students and answers are explained.
