Strategy, Organization and Style. Rhetorical Skills. Grammar and Mechanics. All of the previous phrases are used when talking about the ACT English exam. What do they mean? How is the exam built? What are the questions like? Just what exactly are they testing you on? What have they told the colleges regarding what the exam does and what the score level means? Here we will not only answer those questions, we will prepare and study using exams and resources that work. The exam has a pattern to it, and the people who wrote it know how to write questions in such a way that the grammar and mechanics all 'look' or 'sound' right. They assume certain things about the students taking the class, and often they are right. What I do in the course is see to it that you are able to avoid some of the obvious tricks and grammar mix ups so you can increase your score nicely. I began tutoring students on the ACT twenty years ago, and I've shared everything here with you.
This course is divided into helpful parts. The ACT English section is the FIRST section of the exam, and getting through it with skill and confidence is one of the keys to success. Once you get through this part with the right mindset, the other 3 parts will go more smoothly.
