Manage episode 415070144 series 3344516
Today's episode is brought to you by Velocity ACT. Slay the ACT ogre with Velocity ACT.
I recently spoke with Tim Hall of Velocity ACT. Tim is a teacher/tutor with almost twenty years of experience both in standardized test prep (SAT/ACT) and in classroom instruction.
Tim's tenure as test prep teacher at Bishop Dunne Catholic School saw a 150-point increase in average school-wide SAT scores and a 4-point average increase in ACT scores—and things have only gotten better from there: with a tutoring company in his hometown of Dallas, Tim has seen an average improvement of 200 points and 6 points on those tests. There is no substitute for experience.
In our conversation, Tim shares:
The single most important factor in determining whether the SAT or the ACT is the right test for you.
Four strategies for tackling the ACT, including:
Timing and pacing
How to “own the test”
Setting goals for improvement
Using the process of elimination
Advice for each section of the ACT, including:
Four guiding questions students should ask themselves for the English Section
The single most important criteria for selecting an answer in the Reading Section
Understanding how the Math Section is laid out, and how that can guide your answer choice
