Here Are the Top Nine Questions about the SAT and ACT
-
- How do I know which test is best for me?
Compare your percentile score from each. (In other words, you have to take BOTH to know.) - Do all colleges accept the ACT?
BREAKING NEWS! More colleges now accept the ACT than the SAT. - Should I take the ACT?
YES! About 33% of students score BETTER on the ACT! - Does this mean I DON’T have to take the SAT?
NO! About 33% of students DON’T score better on the ACT. (The other third score about the same.) - Isn’t the SAT changing?
Yes! And Mindworks is ready with a new curriculum to help you prepare. - Can Mindworks help me do my best?
YES! - HOW?
We recommend that almost all juniors take the SAT and the ACT during both the spring of junior year and fall of senior year. - Why March SAT and April ACT?
Lots of reasons!- By taking both tests during junior year, you free up the summer to concentrate on any remaining areas of weakness.
- By taking both tests during the fall of senior year, you ensure your score has the maximum amount of time to grow!
- Why a small-group setting instead of individual tutoring?
Lots of reasons!- There are only eight students per group, and the groups are created based on scores—this ISN’T a large, impersonal class. Instead, it’s a small-study group of students with similar strengths and weaknesses.
- We move quickly through areas of strength (so no wasting time) and slowly through areas of weakness (so lots of targeted instruction where it’s needed most!)
- Going straight to individual tutoring is like going straight to a surgeon! First, you need to go to a generalist to get the overview of what’s necessary.
