Dalby’s Private ACT Tutoring
Are you fed up with the SAT? Does the thought of getting to the test center at 8am and leaving after 1pm (with only 2 five-minute breaks) leave you feeling overwhelmed? Does the idea of writing a timed essay make you anxious? You are not alone. SAT scores all over the country are dropping and the word on the street is that the SAT is too long. Unfortunately it will be a few years before the College Board gets the message. In the meantime, we recommend taking the ACT. Advantages: It’s shorter (2 hours and 55 minutes) The essay is optional (30 minutes) No guessing penalty Achievement based

What’s involved? We are offering students a flexible one-on-one tutoring program that is tailor-made for their needs. Low scoring students usually need ten hours or more of private instruction; average scorers need eight hours. High scorers often need as little as four hours of instruction - often broken down into half-hour sessions. Not sure about the available testing dates?
Here is the official ACT calendar.
What materials? We will be using The Real ACT Prep Guide, published by the makers of the real test. We will also be using published copies of exams given in previous years. It is important that the student bring his or her book to every session. Still not sure if the ACT is right for you?
