In the excitement of how wonderful the ACT was being for students, a couple of points got glossed over, and they’re particularly problematic.
While it might be difficult to come up with the exact plan for everyone, I have been able to develop a plan that works for most students. It also gives them a framework to build their own plan around.
You need to allow yourself 6-9 weeks ahead of a test date to do focused preparation, whatever that’s going to look like for you.
You don’t have to take every test until you get the score you’re looking for. With a little planning, you can cut the tests down to 2, and maybe even just 1.
The old wisdom used to be that you should register to take each test once then compare your scores on focus on that test. In some ways, the old wisdom still works except now you don’t have to wait until an official test date.
The first step in planning your test prep is understanding what score you’re going to
need in order to get into the school you want. The key to getting accepted into a specific school has as much to do with staying out of the “No” pile as anything else. The easiest way for an admissions officer to stamp “Denied” on an application is if a student’s GPA and test scores don’t match what they’re looking for.
In building Bybee College Prep, we insisted that the difference is fundamental. Every thing we do is intentionally designed whether it is preparation for admission tests or helping students put together their college application portfolios.
