Why Enhanced Prep?

Many tutoring companies claim that they can help students increase their test scores, but very few can support those claims and almost none of them focus on a student's ultimate goal - getting into their dream school. Nowadays, it takes more than a single strong test score to get into college. Students have got to have the grades and the test scores and then some. At Enhanced Prep, we provide a truly customizable approach to tutoring, focusing on each student's specific needs. We match students with the right tutor who can help them study for a biology test one day and prep for their upcoming college entrance exam the next.

The time limits allotted for these subtests varies, with English receiving 45 minutes, reading 35 minutes, 60 minutes for mathematics, and 35 minutes for science.

The ACT Exam

The ACT is a common college entrance exam that is used to determine whether or not students are prepared to enter into undergraduate college study programs, as well as whether they might be eligible for academic scholarships in some institutions. Not only this, the ACT provides the school districts that students are enrolled in with important insights that can be used to better prepare them to succeed in a post-secondary program. This assessment is typically taken by students in the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades, with many schools mandating that students take it at least once. When preparing for these exams, students can always reach out to our team here at Enhanced Prep, where we will determine what strategies will work best for them to maximize their chances of succeeding and getting into their top schools.

Frequently Asked Questions

What test should I be taking?

One test does not fit all – students should take the test that highlights their strengths! The ACT is typically best suited for students stronger in reading comprehension and English, while the SAT is usually a better fit for students with stronger skills in Math. Not sure which test is the best option for you? We’ve got you covered. Contact us today for a consultation and find out which test suits you best!

How should I prepare for The ACT?

When preparing for the ACT, it is important first and foremost to set aside plenty of time before the date of the exam. This ensures that students can get the most practice possible, meaning that they can be familiar with the content and style of the exam. In order to further maximize the benefits of studying, an ACT tutor from Enhanced Prep's team can work to challenge students, and to help them adhere to personalized study plans. Each of our tutors is fully prepared to work with test-takers individually and identify what content they need to focus on, and to determine what test-taking strategies are best suited for each student. Through these proven methods, we ensure that every student can go into their ACT tests with the confidence that they need to succeed.

Is the ACT hard?

The ACT assesses students' knowledge of English, reading, mathematics, and science at a high school level. As such, they should expect to encounter topics in these subjects up to a secondary education level, including interpreting written passages, understanding grammatical concepts and the meaning of language in different contexts, carrying out mathematical operations such as working with different functions and analyzing data, and critiquing and designing experimental setups and data. Because of the wide range of topics that students can encounter on the ACT, it is recommended that they begin preparations as early as possible to effectively review and retain important information. Further, these efforts can be even better supplemented with online ACT tutoring from our expert team here at Enhanced Prep to guide you toward success.

How many times can I retake the ACT?

Fortunately for those wanting to improve their ACT scores, the ACT can be taken a total of twelve times. When retaking the ACT, all four subtests must be taken together. However, individual subtest scores can be combined from different attempts to give a student's superscore at participating universities. Otherwise, the highest composite score from any single attempt can be used. There is no minimum time limit that must elapse between retakes, but these attempts are limited to the availability of testing dates. As such, students will have time between attempts that can be used to review materials and practice for their next attempt, which can be further aided with the help of Enhanced Prep's tutoring team to improve scores as much as possible.

Are calculators allowed on The ACT?

When attending an ACT assessment, students are allowed to bring a calculator to use on the mathematics subtest. This includes most four-function, scientific, and graphing calculators. However, external algebra functions are not permitted on any calculators used on the test. In addition to calculators, students may bring a mask, a number 2 pencil, a timing device, and snacks to be consumed during break periods. Students also must bring their admission ticket and a valid, government-issued photo ID to be admitted into the testing space. Students are also asked not to bring cell phones or other electronic devices, written notes or other reference materials, or recording devices with them into the testing space.

How is the ACT scored?

The four mandatory subtests of the ACT are scored individually on a scale ranging from 1 to 36. These subtest scores are then averaged to determine the composite score of an attempt. The writing score can be added to this; scores range from 2 to 12. While no score is universally considered to be passing, different universities will require different scores for admissions and for consideration for academic scholarships. When students receive their ACT score reports, they will see each of their subtest scores as well as their composite, STEM, and ELA scores. The composite is a blend of math and science scores, and the ELA is English and reading (plus writing, should it be selected).
