Evan A. Weitz earned a PhD in chemistry from the University of Minnesota, where he contributed to several research groups. Today, Evan A. Weitz works as the senior lab technician at an audio-visual equipment supply company and as a tutor at Achieve Academics, both located in suburbs of the Twin Cities. At Achieve Academics, Mr. Weitz assists students who are preparing for college preparatory tests, such as the ACT.
Designed to assess students’ college readiness and measure their achievement, the ACT is universally accepted at all colleges and universities in the United States and is usually administered to juniors and seniors in high school. The test consists of four sections: math, English, reading, and science. Students also have the option of taking a writing section.
The math portion of the test contains 60 questions that cover pre-algebra, algebra, algebra 2, geometry, and trigonometry. This 60-minute segment requires students to work very quickly and decisively.
The English section contains 75 questions that must be completed in 45 minutes. The section includes questions on rhetorical skills and the usage and mechanics of grammar.
In the reading portion, students are required to read a selection of material and answer 40 comprehension questions in 35 minutes. In the science section, students must answer 40 questions that cover analyses, evaluation, interpretation, and problem-solving.
In the optional writing portion, students are given an issue and three differing views on the issue. They must decide on a position and present their opinion with solid reasoning skills within 40 minutes.
Strong ACT scores can help students obtain scholarships and admission into the college of their choice. Scores can be dramatically improved with a solid study plan and tutoring.
