NAPERVILLE TUTORING | YOUR ACT Test PREP Resource

ONE-ON-ONE ACT PREP







ACT test FACTS



The ACT is composed of four multiple-choice sections - English, Math, Reading, & Science & a optional essay section - Writing.

Total testing time is 2 hours & 55 minutes for the ACT without Writing; 3 hours & 35 minutes for the ACT with Writing.
All sections add up to a perfect score of 36.

Should you take a ACT ONLINE, a classroom course or choose a One-on-One tutor?

It can be costly in both time and money. However, practice sessions, taking sample tests, review of weaker areas of concern and tracking of your scores during a class or One-on-One tutoring is helpful.

You can get excellent results with a disciplined approach, One-on-One Expert Instruction & a ACT Guide book. If you chose a One-on-One tutor, you should learn about ACT subject areas, as well as, strategies for how to take the test. You will need to know content & methods or processes for all subjects.

Feedback is essential to avoid making the same errors and to know why you may have missed an understanding of a subject area. Ask us about our student participation & how it is helpful to avoid making the same error.


Choosing the right tutor can be difficult for a parent, their son or daughter. Call us to understand how Naperville Tutoring's ACT PREP gives students an EDGE, achieving high composite scores.

CUSTOMIZED TEST PREP




Comprehensive ACT PREPARATION
for College Readiness


SAT vs. ACT | Which test should I take?

What are the differences between the tests?

Choosing the right test is a important decision
of the college admissions process.

Consider your career goals.
If math and science will be a large part of
your university major, STEM classes matter.
The ACT Test will best fit this requirement.
If liberal arts are a strong requirement for
your college degree, the SAT may be your best fit.

Take 2 practice tests and figure out which
test is going to get you the best results.

ACT or SAT: You Decide


Similar to the ACT, the SAT has multiple-choice areas,
but it also has a part in the Math section where you are
required to produce your answers — no chance
of guessing from a set of choices here!

sat_math_test

Which college readiness test? ACT or SAT?

If the Universities of interest accept either test, it
is your preference. Each test challenges you
in different ways; taking both will help you
select the test that delivers your best test results

We recommend that you study Test PREP for ONE test.



Our course approach begins with a detailed diagnostic of
students’ strengths & weaknesses.

SUMMIT ACT PREP ™ | One-on-One | ACT Test Results | 7 Points Up | 28 to 35

I just got my ACT score back and am so excited to tell you I got a 35!! Thank you so much for all of your help! I couldn’t have done it without you!

Going into ACT Prep with Mr. & Mrs.Kaliher, I was frustrated & did not think I would ever bring my scores up to where they needed to be. Quite honestly, I was not comfortable with the format of the test, would consistently run out of time, & had no idea what some of the questions on science were even asking?? After getting through most of the SUMMIT TEST PREP SYLLABUS ™ at the beginning, I started to feel more comfortable. I began to learn from my mistakes through Mr. & Mrs. Kaliher's stellar explanations. I used the Barron's Book and the ACT Prep Guide. I noticed a substantial difference in the level of difficulty between the two, with Barron's challenging me the most. However, I now appreciate this challenge. I think it was very beneficial to mess up & run out of time on the harder tests because they prepared me for the hardest of questions.

I cannot thank Mr. & Mrs. Kaliher enough for their flexibility, patience, and overall help in preparing me for the ACT. This year has been filled with such uncertainty. However, they were always willing to accomodate my crazy busy schedule and reschedule most of my prep sessions after my tests were cancelled. They have pushed me to try my hardest, and I am confident I will do my best when I finally get to take an official ACT.

Although we were virtual for most of my prep sessions, I have always felt welcomed into the positive environment they have created. I went into this entire process being intimidated, scared, and not confident with myself. I have come out prepared, confident, and ready to attack the ACT.

Thank you so very much for all of your support and help. I truly appreciate everything! I promise to keep in contact and inform you of my scores and college plans.

G.T. | Student | Joliet Catholic Academy High School

Good morning Joan & Paul, We are Absolutely thrilled with her score!!!! A"35" was her goal all along! Those extra few tutoring sessions just boosted her. **

**"ASK ABOUT OUR BOOSTER PROGRAM"

We can’t THANK YOU enough for making her dream come true! We appreciate everything you did during this crazy time. So grateful she got the score she wanted. She couldn’t have done it without your help! If you can resend anything that you would like me to do to help you grow your business, I’d be more than happy to help! I’m not sure if she mentioned to you, but we took a very last minute trip out to see Dartmouth in New Hampshire on Monday. She loved it and decided that will be her early Decision choice. We will keep you posted as things transpire. Thank you again for everything you did!! I will make sure I sing your praises to all the other sophomore & junior parents! Warm regards.

No need to superscore here! We are so thrilled and cannot thank you enough!!! All of your hard work along with C’s paid off. I know we will be contacting you for fall tutoring on calculus and AP physics. Have a wonderful summer

T. L. | Mom of Son C.L. | Benet Academy UMMIT ACT PREP ™ | One-on-One | ACT Test Results | 6 Points Up | 27 to 33

In my honest opinion, I would consider the SUMMIT ACT PREP as the most helpful thing I’ve used in my education career. The environment really helps to cater towards my specific needs while taking the ACT test. I think individually my tutors had a lot of knowledge of what they were doing, especially in the ways they could explain the problems I was having and how I can fix them. There are certain things on the ACT test that you could not do without the help of tutors like them. They help you realize patterns and different ways to take the test that are incomparable to anything else. Sincerely

Z. W. | Student | Naperville Central High School

Thank you for the incredible tutoring. Z was pleased with his score as he thought the test was actually harder than many of the practice tests. He has promised to continue practicing as he is signed up for the July test as well. I have copied a pic of his scores. He improved in every area.
A 10 pt jump in English!

Naperville Tutoring ACT PREP

We are honored and proud to serve Naperville area students with ACT and SAT PREP. Naperville Tutoring is delighted to see many ACT Composite score gains: Our lowest average gain we see on the ACT Test is usually 3 points up. The ACT Test is commonly repeated during the Junior and early Senior year. When you see a 5 - 8 point gain, it is usually a result of a student taking the ACT Test two, up to five times. The scores reflected are those that Naperville Tutoring has been made aware of by our students, moms or dads sharing their proud results.

We hope this information is helpful in considering Naperville Tutoring for your son's or daughter's SAT or ACT PREP. We welcome working with your son or daughter!
