ACT February 6, 2010

January 6th, 2010

The ACT February test date is fast approaching; are your kids ready? If you find yourself or your children stressed out because of the upcoming ACT, you might want to look for an ACT tutor. Tutor Doctor is a great resource for ACT tutoring since there are several ACT tutors available who can work with your student

If you plan to take the ACT in February or another time this year you must prepare, prepare, prepare. That is the hardest thing for students to understand. Cramming for a standardized test will not help compared to taking the time to carefully prepare for the test. This includes studying for the ACT; some resources are better than others. There are several “test prep books” available and choosing  the right prep book for your student is critical. As part of a package with Tutor Doctor, a test prep book will be provided.

If your child is taking the ACT this year, there are some simple steps you can take to help them prepare. Make sure they get enough sleep the night before, eat a good breakfast, and wake up early enough to get to the testing site on time. If your student has planned carefully, they will have studied using a test prep book and given themselves enough time to get through that book. Some students might need a couple of months and others could be prepared after 3 or 4 weeks worth of studying. That is to say that they have carved time out of their daily schedule to study maybe an hour or two a day. One of our ACT tutors could spend a couple of hours a week with your child as well, in order to better prepare them for taking the test. A lot of ACT prep is about learning how to answer ACT style questions that students might not have been exposed to in their classes. This is where Tutor Doctor comes in handy. Our tutors could make sure that your student is ready for test day by practicing for each part of the ACT and strengthening their specific weak points.

We at Tutor Doctor want to help your child through this important academic milestone with our one-on-one in-home tutoring and qualified tutors. Please call us at 636-357-4500 or visit our website at www.tutordoctorstl.com.
