ACT Science Tutoring and Test Practice
Why do students struggle with ACT Science practice?
Unlike the SAT, the ACT has a dedicated Science portion, which many students will find unconventional. ACT Science tests students on their general and practical knowledge of biology, chemistry, physics, and the Earth/space sciences (such as geology, astronomy, and meteorology). Advanced knowledge in these subjects is not required, as ACT Science tests interpretation, analysis, evaluation, reasoning, and problem-solving skills and practices over recall of scientific content or complex mathematical skills.
The ACT Science portion has a heavy emphasis on data interpretation, tested through multiple-choice questions. The questions require candidates to recognise the basic features and concepts of the provided information, critically evaluate the information provided alongside the conclusions or hypotheses drawn, and draw conclusions or make predictions accurately. This makes ACT Science quite challenging without private tuition, as candidates are required to master reasoning and critical thinking skills that are hard to improve independently.
ACT Science Test Practice with BartyED
BartyED’s ACT Science tutors are uniquely qualified to help candidates with ACT Science practice, due to their proven success and surefire revision plans. Our ACT Science practice tutors usually begin with a 90-minute assessment lesson, which evaluates the skills tested on the ACT. Our ACT Science tutoring programmes are customised to the learner, but our ACT Science practice revision is modelled along the following model:
Candidates are tasked with ACT Science practice tests in class and for homework, which our ACT Science tutors will evaluate in terms of the candidate’s individual strengths and weaknesses.
Based on the student’s academic profile, our ACT Science tutors establish which areas and the relevant exam technique to be targeted for the greatest increase in overall score.
Lessons are one-to-one and provide a unique opportunity for students to learn at their own pace, with rich resources, clear instruction, and expert supervision from experienced tutors.
Most importantly, our ACT results speak for themselves. We have helped many students achieve top scores in the ACT Science test section, in part because the rules are straightforward. Our ACT Science tutors often report a rapid increase in overall score once simple models and concepts are explained in lucid, relatable terms.
