      SupertutorTV so if I have a whole word document on answer I get wrong and solutions and review those questions once a week is that identifying my mistakes. And for English and the other ones they are online I review the wrong answers and see why the other is right.

    I know someone who took the act 5 times and ended up with a 35. 1st try was a 21, 2nd try 24, 3rd try 28, 4th try 31, 5th try 35. He then went back and deleted the 1st 4 attempts. What a lucky nut. This was in the span of about 2 years also.

    I hope you can help me this summer to tutor me about ACT and SAT... I'm gonna take ACT this april 19 and self-studying is not my habit... I am more confident when someone teaches me about something especially when I learn new strategies from my tutor... I am a grade 11 student and hoping to have a perfect score on ACT and SAT, if possible and on how to write an essay with deeper vocabulary... I want to go to universities like Stanford and maybe Harvard because they offer STEM that I want... I like your videos by the way.. you will help more students to achieve their dreams..

  • @aditijain4409
    @aditijain4409 6 років тому +4

    Hi, Brooke. I love your videos! I was just wondering if you had some advice for me; taking practice tests is really hard for me because I tend to get extremely lethargic, so I only do well on some of the sections and not the others. During the real test, there are factors that keep me active and focused, so I'm not worried about trying to simulate a real test when I'm taking a practice test. Taking the test section by section helps me a lot more, and I feel more confident knowing I can score a certain score on each section of the test. My question is, are there other ways for me to improve even if I don't like taking full length, 4 hour practice tests? Time is also an issue, since I don't have much free time over the course of the week. Thanks so much!

      It depends on what college you are going to. It should say in their website which one they prefer.
