ACT Group Class

Why Take an ACT class?

• Taking a class provides a systematic approach to understanding the ACT.  Our classes cover each section of the test, highlighting the types of questions the ACT asks and strategies to answer them.
• Our small group classes give each student individual attention.  We cap our classes at 6 students to enable the instructor to motivate and direct each student individually.  In addition, score reports on the 3 diagnostic tests provide feedback on each student’s progress.
• Our tutors have two years of experience teaching the ACT, individually and in group classes.  Our small group classes are modeled on a successful program Better Edge Tutoring conducted for a Brooklyn nonprofit.
• ACT surveys consistently show that students need to spend at least 20 hours practicing for the exam to achieve a 1-2 point gain (out of 36) on the ACT.  Our group classes include 18 hours of class time–not to mention 6 hours of homework, and 10.5 hours of test taking.  All this practice directly correlates with rising test scores.
• Rather than an alternative to individual tutoring, the group class creates an starting point for advanced individual tutoring.  After 2 weeks, students know the ACT test’s format and questions as well as different strategies for answering them.  They will have taken 3 practice tests, received score reports (showing their strengths and weaknesses), and completed a significant portion of the Manhattan Prep’s 5 lb. ACT Practice Problems.
• Small group classes are half the cost of individual tutoring.
