ACT Test Prep

EDUC-90028

Score higher on the ACT® with exclusive test-taking tactics

 

The ACT test score is used by top colleges and universities to make admissions decisions. This multiple-choice test measures a high school student's academic readiness for college. The test provides colleges with a national benchmark that can be used to compare all student applicants. In addition, a competitive ACT score gives the student more options in the college application process, such as earning scholarship awards and tuition fellowships. The new ACT format comprises 3 mandatory sections (English, Math, Reading) and 2 optional sections (Science and Writing). The total test time for the mandatory sections is approximately 2 hours. The Science section gives students an advantage when applying for STEM majors while other majors may require an essay writing score.


Let the University of California San Diego support you in increasing your ACT score through its innovative and sophisticated ACT prep course. This course is designed for the student whose busy lifestyle demands efficient prep in a condensed amount of time by focusing on the official test topics and questions that impact your score the most. Students will learn exclusive test-taking tactics specifically designed to increase their scores.
