Lesson Outline
I began the session by discussing ACT science test-taking strategies. Michael completed an ACT practice test prior to our session and scored 20-21 on the science section. Michael and I reviewed, analyzed, and corrected all his incorrect answers. Michael expressed understanding of his mistakes and feels confident that he can score a bit higher on the next science practice test. I assigned him a practice test to complete before we meet next. Our next meeting is Wednesday, May 17th.

Lesson Comments
Michael and I wanted to finish reviewing the entire science practice test, so we worked together 90 minutes, instead of 60 minutes. The session was only scheduled for 60 minutes. This was a voluntary choice by Michael and I :)
