Get Started Today!

  • ACT MATH

    Who can keep up with all those facts and figures? Not to mention geometry! And then you add in the letters…it gets complicated. Shape up and get your “ACT” together with our ACT Math Camps! We will be breaking down the components of the ACT over a course of four to six weeks and working out ACT problems together. The best part is exposure to a real life ACT setting – you can’t beat that!

  • ACT English

    Misplace a modifier? Splice your comma? Does grammar have you all tongue-tied? Speak now or forever hold your peace! Our three to four week ACT English Camp will cover all you need to know about the English portion of the test, including mechanics, grammar usage and rhetorical skills. Don’t find yourself at a loss for words when you’re taking your ACT!

  • ACT Reading & Science

    Reading and science lumped together? Believe it or not the reading and science sections of the ACT use a similar set of skills to complete. This three to four week course will cover the skills necessary to effectively complete the reading and science sections. Skills taught in this course will include inference, analysis and synthesis. Come join us as we explore, hypothesize and generally help you master these two seemingly unrelated sections.

  • ACT WRITING

    The Writing portion of the ACT can be the section that scares most students. It doesn’t have to be. We’ll teach you how to format your thoughts on any given subject by producing an outline and then filling it in with supportive data. Writing well is simply about following rules and we’ll teach you how to do just that!

Alert!

Starting April 2025, students who take the ACT online will see a new format that’s shorter and lets you choose to take the science section.

The paper test will reflect these changes in September 2025.

What’s Changing

  • Science = Optional

    Students can now choose to take the ACT National test with or without the science section

  • Less Questions

    Reduced the number of questions overall (44 fewer) which allows more time per question.

  • Shorter Test

    Students can receive their composite score after 125 minutes of testing, rather than up to 195.

  • Fewer Answer Choices

    Reduced the number of answer choices in math questions from five to four.

How Schools Use Your ACT Score

Colleges

As a college entrance exam, higher education institutions are looking at scores to help predict class profiles and overall academic success, and to address other factors needed during admissions and enrollments, including:

Results from the ACT, high school grades, academic preparation, out-of-class accomplishments, and future plans—these and other kinds of information help admissions officials identify applicants who can benefit most from their programs.

Colleges usually try to take into account individual strengths and weaknesses as they place students in first-year courses. For example, a college may offer three sections of a subject—developmental, regular, and advanced. A student’s results on the ACT, academic background, and high school grades might be used to determine which section would be most appropriate.

College academic advisors may consider results on the ACT, high school academic program, high school grades, planned extracurricular activities, areas in which there is a need for assistance, and part-time employment plans to tailor an appropriate program of study to a student.

Some scholarship and loan agencies may use results from the ACT information such as high school grades to identify qualified candidates. However, the agencies may not look at academic potential alone. The ACT score report provides information about a student’s educational needs, extracurricular achievements, and educational plans. This information, along with high school grades and test scores, helps the agencies evaluate applications for scholarships, loans, and other financial assistance.

WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT US

“I only wished I would have used Making the Grade sooner.  I realized my son was lagging behind in his high school math his Junior year.  Not really through any fault of his own, just a really bad instructor.  My son’s self confidence was lacking due to this particular instructor and I wished I would have taken note much sooner.  The first thing the tutor did was to tell my son how smart he was and how easy it was going to be to bring up his math scores on ACT testing.  You should have seen the delight in his eyes when this tutor recognized my son’s potential!!  After 5 short tutoring sessions in ACT Math prep, my son increased his overall ACT score by 3 whole points (math largest increase).  His new ACT score was high enough to garner an academic scholarship at his 1st choice out of state college.  Needless to say, all this was possible because of Making the Grade tutoring. I have also recommended others to use Making the Grade, knowing they will deliver!!”
