Each time we meet, Michael's accuracy improves. He can analyze the graphs and charts very well. He is also able to correctly interpret the experiments and arguments of opposing scientists. His comprehension of these passages has certainly increased.
Michael and I completed a full science practice test together today.
I timed him on each section (allowing 6 minutes per each of the 6 sections).
Results:
Passage 1: 1 incorrect
Passage 2: 1 incorrect
Passage 3: 100% correct
Passage 4: 1 incorrect
Passage 5: 100% correct
Passage 6: 100% correct
I was very proud that Michael did so well under pressure.
I have seen so much improvement since his first session with me!
I feel confident he will perform well on his ACT test this Saturday.
Michael completed an ACT science practice test that I assigned for homework: pages 640. He scored 34 out of 40.
We reviewed his incorrect answers and he now understands his mistakes.
Next, we worked on a new science practice test (passages 3,4,5,6 on pages 514-521).
I assigned Michael the following homework: full science practice test (pages 772-783)
Michael completed his ACT science practice test that I assigned for homework! He did GREAT! He only got 2 questions wrong out of 40!
We reviewed the 2 incorrect questions and worked on a new science practice test (passages 1 and 2 on pages 509-512). Lastly, we worked on passage 6 (page 930-931) since passage 6 is the most challenging. Michael scored 100% on that passage.
I assigned Michael passages 1-5 (page 920) for homework. We will review his work during our session tomorrow, June 1st at 2pm.
We started by reviewing the operations of matrix addition and matrix multiplication. We then worked problems 38 through 60 in Practice Exam 2 of the Princeton Review ACT Premium Prep 2022 book.
