Our Proven Syllabus – What to Expect in Each PrepScholar ACT Class

Updated for the New Enhanced ACT!

Each 90-minute session targets specific areas of the ACT with relevant high-level strategies and tips.

Before joining the classes: complete your 60-question smart diagnostic test in your Complete Online Prep program. We’ll use this data to personalize your homework assignments between sessions.

Session 1 – Strategies for the new ACT, Intro to English

In your first session, you’ll begin by going over changes in the new ACT format. We’ll break down the structure of each section of the test and address big picture strategies, from time management to taking practice tests. 

Once you’re familiar with the new format, you’ll begin to dive into PrepScholar’s ACT English section strategy, our tried-and-true method for completing the ACT English section quickly, confidently, and accurately. You’ll learn to pace yourself and work through the passages effectively. Then, you’ll learn to apply them as you review the grammar and usage topics tested in the ACT English section, including Verb Tense, Run-On Sentences, and Sentence Fragments.

Session 2 – English: Grammar and Rhetoric

In your second session, you’ll pick up where you left off on the English grammar and usage topics tested in the ACT English section. You’ll review how to identify the types of questions being asked in the section before learning strategies on Punctuation, Agreement, Pronouns, Word Choice, and Conventional Expressions.

After, you’ll zoom out to the structure and intent questions in the English section. Building on the strategies you’ve learned thus far, you’ll learn to break down and answer questions on Author Intent, Transitional Logic, Relevance, Structure, and Tone.

Session 3 – Introduction to Math, Integers and Rational Numbers

In your third session, you’ll move on to learn PrepScholar’s Top Five math strategies, the core secrets to answering any math question quickly, accurately, and confidently. These are the strategies that turn even the toughest math problems into simple step-by-step processes.

You’ll use these strategies as you learn about ACT Geometry, from Coordinate Geometry to Plane Geometry, Solid Geometry, and Trigonometry. After that, you will get an introduction to some of the biggest topics in ACT math: Algebra and Numbers, starting with Integers and Rational Numbers.

Session 4 – Algebra and Advanced Math Topics

In your fourth Classes session, you’ll pick up where you left off with Algebra and Numbers. This class covers everything from statistics and sequences to functions and systems of inequalities. And as always in PrepScholar Classes, you won’t just learn the math topics; you’ll also learn the strategies you need to apply what you learn to real test questions.

Specific topics and skills you’ll learn in this class include Probability, Sequences, Operations, Single Variable Equations, Functions, Word Problems, Inequalities, and Systems of Equations. Then, you’ll address strategies for the last 15 questions of ACT Math, the most advanced topics of the section.

Session 5 – The PrepScholar Reading Method, and Essay

In your fifth Classes session, you’ll learn PrepScholar’s proven method for cracking the Reading section, including expert strategies for pacing, breaking down passages, and answering questions quickly and accurately.

After learning the big section strategies, you’ll learn how to tackle the specific skills and topics that appear on the ACT Reading test, including Passage Overview, Key Details, Inference, Words in Context, Text Structure and Purpose, and Paired Passages questions.

Near the end of the session, you will also learn about the Essay, including how to read and interpret the scenario and viewpoints quickly, create a strong thesis, develop a clear outline, and write a full, focused, and error-free essay within the time limit.

Session 6 – Science and Test-day Strategies

The final Classes session is split into two parts. First, you’ll learn all about the Science section, from how to pace yourself and work through the passages to the specific science topics and skills you need to know for the test. We’ll cover the unique methods for efficiently breaking down different types of Data Representation and Research Summary passages as well as specific topics and skills that are tested in each passage type.

Finally, you’ll review the strategies you’ve learned thus far, as well as learn strategies for the week before the test and test day itself. You’ll learn how to keep practicing and stay motivated and calm leading up to the test, and you’ll also learn how to stay focused, manage anxiety, and pace yourself on test day.
