seema Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Hello, my dd 16 has started doing online kaplan ACT prep, however she is struggling with science the most. Comprehending matter and interpreting data in science is hard for her. Ideally, she needs to practice some similar, but easier science questions, and work her way to the ACT science. Any suggestions on online courses etc? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gstharr Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Have you considered test prep the old fashion way? Simply, workbooks. I mention this because my 9th grader has been in an online class,or another, year round since the 2nd grade. We are very used to the on-line format. However, when it comes to test prep, it has been all paper--Princeton, Kaplan, Barron etc workbooks. It is much easier for him to use fingers, calculate, estimate, circle, mark-off, eliminate answer choices, on paper. Probably, same reason why most test prep companies recommend taking paper tests, over on-line tests. Also, it allows me to review his mistakes at my leisure, and then walk him through the problem on paper with arrows, diagrams, calculations, so on. I don't have time to go through the on-line materials with him. Just something that has worked well for us for PSAT 8/9, SAT (twice) , ISEE (twice), 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I don't have any suggestions for resources, but one thing that kids sometimes are confused by is that the science section does not require one to know anything about science. All of the answers are right there in the question. If she comes up with an answer based on prior knowledge and not what is written on the page, it is going to be wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
