Comprehensive review of the Scientific Process and how it is integrated with the ACT Science part of the test. Typically the math review covers the most common algebra/geometry concepts that are tested throughout the test. Most of the Trigonometry concepts are represented by the Unit Circle, so we do a thorough review of the Unit Circle. Practice is the key to finishing these test sections in the required time frame. Each session will include practicing against the stop watch to get students to complete their work on time. During these sessions I study the student's approach to solving each problem and I am trying to spot the moment they make a mistake to help them increase their awareness of how the little things can affect their problem solving approach.


Homework is where the student practices on their own the concepts covered in each session. It is assumed that the homework will be done and the student will bring it back at the next session.
