The ACT and SAT
Every college and university in the country accepts both ACT and SAT. These standardized test scores are used for college admissions decisions and for awarding merit-based scholarships. Each test measures a student’s proficiency in various critical skill areas that are necessary for college success. The ACT and the SAT generally cover the same topics, such as grammar, math, and reading; however, the ACT places a greater emphasis on science.
Although the material tested is similar to both ACT and SAT, the test styles are quite different. On the SAT, questions are more evidence and context-based with a focus on multi-step problem-solving. On the ACT, questions are more straightforward and, therefore, less difficult to decipher. Students tend to favor the ACT over the SAT because the design of the ACT is more analogous to the design of the assessments used to in school.
The Program
- LITE offers both one-on-one tutoring and small-group classes.
- Each student begins the program with a diagnostic ACT exam, which the tutor uses to both assess the student's strengths and weaknesses and manage the curriculum accordingly.
- Statistically, rote test prep practices lead to both ineffective teaching and lower student performance. That is why LITE students follow a carefully crafted curriculum (that covers material on both ACT and SAT) so that they learn the material, not just how to take the test.
- Student progress is monitored through weekly homework assignments and quizzes.
- Students are given the opportunity to take timed, proctored practice exams. More exposure to the ACT and SAT means less anxiety on test day, better time management, and proper testing endurance.
