It is long enough to work through every high-value topic on the Enhanced ACT and fix what your practice tests reveal, and short enough that you will not lose steam. Plan on about an hour a day, five days a week, plus a practice test every other weekend.<\/p>\n<h2>How the eight weeks work<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Kickoff weekend:<\/strong> ACT Test 1 as a diagnostic.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Days 1 to 4 each week:<\/strong> assigned lessons, quizzes, and practice sets, about 55 to 70 minutes a day with a time listed for every item.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Day 5 is Your Pick:<\/strong> review your latest test, run custom practice, and work through a module you choose.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Five full practice tests:<\/strong> the diagnostic plus tests after Weeks 2, 4, 6, and 7, each reviewed the following Monday. The in-between weekends offer an optional extra test or a catch-up weekend.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A strong finish:<\/strong> Week 8 targets the three topics still costing you points, then ends with a rest day.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Science and Writing:<\/strong> optional tracks every week, timed separately. Science covers every lesson and quiz in the course; Writing covers every lesson plus three practice essays.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What you will cover<\/h2>\n<p>Every Most common and Common topic on the Enhanced ACT: in English, writer&#8217;s goal, sentence structure, punctuation, organization, word choice, and grammar; in Math, word problems, percents and ratios, algebra and systems, lines and coordinate geometry, quadratics, functions, exponents and roots, geometry, trigonometry basics, statistics, and probability; in Reading, every question type plus the passage-type lessons. Two Desmos sessions are included for students testing online.<\/p>\n<h2>Before you start<\/h2>\n<p>You will need a Magoosh ACT Premium account and a notebook for your weak-spot list.
