You have questions; we have answers!
“The test does not show what mistakes my child made!”
Ultimate Test Prep provides an analysis of all mistakes and formulates a personalized plan to improve. Knowing exactly what to study helps your child to stay focused and motivated. With 1-page handouts and 1-page quizzes, we help students to master their previously weak points.
“My daughter got a 25 on her ACT…. again!”
Often, these tests just provide a score with limited and/or confusing analysis. Our curriculum gives you a precise analysis and a plan to master new skills. Practice without feedback will give your child the same results over and over. Ultimate Test Prep has proven to make a difference and gives students the tools to improve… one skill at a time.
“Are there certain things my student should study for these tests?”
You bet! Because these are standardized tests, they are predictable. Our trendsheets reveal exactly how many questions in each topic are on each test. The 200 tips in our curriculum will help students of all levels to anticipate the traps and patterns during their next exam.
“Those test-prep books are too overwhelming.”
Face it: Most students will not read the whole book; however, Ultimate Test Prep shows them exactly which pages to read and practice in order to see a significant score improvement. This helps students to focus on the two or three areas where they make their most mistakes and to master the necessary skills. A review of punctuation rules or geometry formulas can often make a huge difference.
“My child is too busy to study for the SAT!”
Many successful students are busy. Our curriculum is designed to be efficient and effective at achieving results. Our instructors contact our students beforehand, do not waste a minute, and follow up with helpful tools and additional handouts when needed.
“I got a 31 on my ACT! Should I take it one more time?”
Yes! Students can take these tests many times. Universities often look primarily at the highest score. For competitive scholarships, EVERY point counts! The ACT/SAT score often determines admissions to colleges and honor programs. Increasing your standardized test score by even one point might significantly lower your tuition.
“I read the ACT report. I don’t understand it!”
What is “Production of writing”? What are “essential skills”? Our team at Ultimate Test Prep translate these ACT categories into clear language and pinpoint exactly which skills are involved and how to master them. We remind students to look at the structure of a paragraph (“production of writing”) and provide lessons and practice questions for fractions, ratios, and averages (“essential skills”).
“How important is the ACT?”
The ACT is testing skills. So let’s work on those skills, instead of working on those tests. The ACT is just a high school test, but the skills it tests – critical reading, correct grammar usage, basic math, critical thinking, and effective writing – are applicable in college, in the workforce, and throughout a person’s life. Ultimate Test Prep focuses on these skills and helps students to attain mastery for life.
