ACT PREP

WHAT MAKES OUR TEST PREP PROGRAM SO UNIQUE?

Excel with ConnectPrep’s ACT tutoring. Achieve higher scores and college readiness. A solid ACT score can make the difference with being accepted into more competitive schools as well as qualifying for merit based scholarships.

Our methodologies DECONSTRUCT and SIMPLIFIES the ACT content and point out the key information needed to correctly answer questions from the verbal, math, reading, and writing sections of the ACT exam. The most important aspect is we can TEACH and that is what separates us from so many other companies pushing fancy credentials, offering guarantees, and re-do’s. Check out our results!

TOP PERCENTILE ACT TEST SCORES!

Here is how we help you prep for that BIG score:

1. A mini-diagnostic exam

Begin with our short SAT vs ACT diagnostic test to determine whether the SAT or the ACT is right for you.

2. Tailoring a test-prep program around your needs

Start prep early. Consider the summer between sophomore and junior year. This is a great time to start, without all the pressures of homework, exams, etc. Or start in the fall for early spring exams. However, most students start in the winter and prepare to take exams in the spring of their junior year, in plenty of time for college applications.

3. TEACH you the specific strategies needed to succeed

Consider whether you learn better working one-on-one with an instructor or in a small, online group setting. We offer both options and can tailor a program around your needs. Please reach out to us so we can help you decide.

4. Assess, track your progress, and make any necessary adjustments

We recommend a minimum of 12 weeks to prepare. Of course, we understand life gets in the way, so if you don’t have 12 weeks, we can certainly prepare a targeted prep course just for you.

5. Simulated test environments, proctored exams, and use of REAL SAT tests. We build a students confidence, focus, and endurance.

Show this test who’s the boss! We want you to score big the 1st time you take the ACT, however, this is a challenging test that may require multiple attempts to reach your target score. We teach you all the specific strategies to succeed on this exam from deconstructing this test, only focusing on what matters.

ConnectPrep's Innovative ACT Prep Curriculum

ConnectPrep introduces a groundbreaking approach to ACT preparation, fundamentally changing how students perceive and tackle these exams. Our unique training method focuses on developing a laser-sharp focus and an evidence-based mindset, enabling students to approach the test with a fresh perspective.

Key Elements of Our ACT Prep Training Approach

  1. Evidence-Based Strategy: We train students to zero in on finding evidence within the test content. This method enhances their ability to quickly identify and extract key information from questions and passages.

  2. Laser Focus Development: Our curriculum emphasizes the cultivation of intense concentration skills. Students learn to maintain a sharp focus throughout the test, crucial for maximizing efficiency and accuracy.

  3. Cognitive Flexibility: We teach techniques to adapt thinking processes on the fly, allowing students to switch strategies as needed for different types of questions.

  4. Pattern Recognition: Students are trained to recognize recurring patterns and question types, enabling them to anticipate and prepare for common challenges.

  5. Critical Analysis: Our approach enhances students’ ability to critically analyze text and data, focusing on evidence rather than assumptions or extraneous information.

  6. Mindset Shift: We encourage a complete mindset shift in how students view standardized tests, moving from a traditional approach to a more strategic, evidence-focused methodology.

  7. Stress Management: Part of seeing the test in a new light involves managing test anxiety. We equip students with tools to stay calm and focused, ensuring their mind is clear to apply the strategies they’ve learned.
