​
(And all the parents said "Amen!")​
​
I find that the most important aspect of ACT prep is consistency. ​
​
There's no point in forcing them to sit down once for 3 hours just working through a workbook. ​
​
They need consistent practice over a long period of time. ​
​
So, how do you practically make that happen?​
​
1. Get a clear schedule in place. ​
​
This is a really good opportunity to instill time management skills in your teenager that they will use for the rest of their lives. ​
​
Write out their weekly schedule with them on a piece of paper and have them choose a couple of hours a week that they can dedicate to this. ​
​
2. Have a study plan. ​
​
I suggest getting them some ACT practice tests to work through and just take advantage of free online resources. ​
​
If you need some help with this, I'd be happy to hop on a Zoom call and put together a study plan with you and your student. ​
​
3. They need accountability. ​
​
Whatever plan you help them set up, hold them accountable for doing it. ​
​
If this causes some stress in your household, then get a tutor that can hold them accountable in that area. ​
​
(I feel like most of the conversations I have with my tutoring parents and students begin with them confessing this 😂😂.) ​
​
4. They need encouragement. ​
​
Let's face it. Being a teenager is hard. ​
​
Forcing yourself to study for a BORING standardized test is hard. ​
​
When you see them doing it, encourage them. Let them know you're proud of them. ​
​
Try these few things out and I bet you'll start to see that consistency in their prep that you're looking for 🙂​
​
Your tutor, ​
