How We Teach

Step-by-Step ACT Examples

Real Enhanced ACT question types (2025 format), broken down exactly the way our tutors teach them — including the now-optional Science section that still matters for competitive admissions.

English Commas · The Rule 75% of Students Get Wrong

Which choice best punctuates the underlined portion?

Passage The researcher, Dr. Chen who studies migratory birds published her findings last week.
A NO CHANGE
B Dr. Chen, who studies migratory birds
C Dr. Chen, who studies migratory birds,
D Dr. Chen who studies migratory birds,
1
Identify the phrase between the commas. “Who studies migratory birds” is a non-essential description — you could remove it and the sentence still makes sense.
2
Apply the ACT’s two-comma rule. Non-essential phrases need commas on both sides — a matched pair, never just one.
3
Eliminate the traps. A has no commas. B and D have only one. Only C matches the rule.
4
Answer: C. Non-essential phrase + matched pair of commas.
How we tutor it The ACT English section tests a small set of grammar rules over and over — commas, apostrophes, pronouns, verb agreement, transitions. We teach the rule catalog explicitly, then drill each pattern until students see them at a glance. A student who masters 10 rules can typically add 4–6 points to their English score.
Math Right Triangle Trig · A Topic SAT Skips

In right triangle ABC, angle C is 90° and sin(A) = 3/5. What is cos(A)?

Why This Question Exists
The ACT tests right triangle trigonometry in a way the SAT doesn’t. Students walk in expecting SAT-style math and get blindsided.
A 3/5
B 4/5
C 5/4
D 5/3
1
Translate SOHCAHTOA. sin(A) = opposite ÷ hypotenuse. So the side opposite angle A = 3 and the hypotenuse = 5.
2
Find the missing side. Use the Pythagorean Theorem: a² + 3² = 5² ⇒ a² = 16 ⇒ a = 4
3
Apply cosine. cos(A) = adjacent ÷ hypotenuse. cos(A) = 4/5
4
Answer: B, 4/5. The classic 3-4-5 right triangle.
How we tutor it Every ACT has 4–6 trigonometry questions. Students who’ve only taken Algebra II lose easy points here. We teach the trig unit early — SOHCAHTOA, unit circle basics, and the 3-4-5 / 5-12-13 / 8-15-17 special triangles — before diving into practice tests.
Reading Detail Question · Line-Reference

According to the passage, the narrator’s grandmother believed that:

Passage (lines 22–29) “My grandmother often reminded me that gardens were never truly finished. Every winter she would sketch new arrangements on graph paper, even though half the seedlings she planted in spring would fail to bloom. She said that the failures were part of the design — you couldn’t know what a garden wanted to be until it told you.”
A only experienced gardeners can plan gardens successfully.
B a garden’s failures are useful information for its future design.
C most seedlings should be planted in the winter.
D graph paper is essential to good garden design.
1
Never answer from memory. Find the exact line reference (22–29) and read it before looking at choices.
2
Circle the grandmother’s actual words. “The failures were part of the design — you couldn’t know what a garden wanted to be until it told you.”
3
Eliminate extreme or off-topic choices. A (“only experienced”) and D (“essential”) are too absolute. C is about winter planting — a detail-swap trap.
4
Answer: B. Failures = useful information for future design. Direct paraphrase, no assumption required.
How we tutor it ACT Reading rewards evidence, not interpretation. Wrong answers are usually true statements that just aren’t supported by the specific lines cited. We teach students to read the reference first, choices second — and to be suspicious of any answer with words like “only,” “never,” or “essential.”
Science (Optional) Data Interpretation · Still Required by Many Competitive Schools

Based on the table, as temperature increases, the enzyme reaction rate:

Why It Still Matters
Science is optional on the Enhanced ACT — but many competitive schools still expect it, and a strong Science score can boost your STEM application. It’s not a content test: you don’t need biology, you need to read tables and graphs fast.
Table 1: Enzyme reaction rate at various temperatures (Experiment 2)
Temperature (°C)Reaction Rate (units/min)
104
209
3016
4022
5014
603
A increases only.
B decreases only.
C increases and then decreases.
D stays roughly constant.
1
Look at the table, not the science. You do NOT need to know what an enzyme is. Just read the numbers.
2
Trace the trend. 4 → 9 → 16 → 22 (climbing) … then 22 → 14 → 3 (dropping).
3
Find the peak. The reaction rate peaks at 40°C, then falls sharply. So the pattern is up, then down.
4
Answer: C. Increases and then decreases. 20 seconds, no biology required.
How we tutor it The ACT Science section is a reading test disguised as a science test. We teach students to skip the passage intros, go straight to the tables and graphs, and match trends to answer choices. Students who follow our approach typically pick up 5–8 points on Science alone.
Pacing & Strategy The ACT Is Won on the Clock

How much time you have per question on each section — and what to do when you run short.

English
35 minutes · 50 questions
42 seconds per question
Read the sentence containing the underlined portion + one before and after. Never read the whole passage first.
Math
50 minutes · 45 questions
67 seconds per question
Enhanced ACT dropped Math from 60 to 45 questions — and choices from 5 to 4. Questions are still ordered easy to hard. Bank time early so you have 90+ seconds each for the last 10.
Reading
40 minutes · 36 questions
67 seconds per question
Passage-by-passage: about 10 minutes each. Skim, then answer from line references. Save Prose Fiction for last if it’s your weakness.
Science (optional)
40 minutes · 40 questions
60 seconds per question
Skip passage intros. Go straight to figures. Save Conflicting Viewpoints for last. Score reports separately from composite — but many competitive programs still expect it.
The two rules that add 3–5 points 1. No blanks, ever. The ACT has no guessing penalty. With one minute left, fill in every remaining bubble with the same letter (statistically as good as random) — usually adds 2–3 correct answers.

2. Bubble in batches. Solve 5 questions in your booklet, then bubble all 5 at once. Saves 30–40 seconds per section and cuts bubbling mistakes to zero.
