At Study First Academy, we determine the most suitable exam strategy for our students while preparing them for the world’s most prestigious universities. We are here to support you with our expert staff through the ACT (American College Testing) preparation process—a test often better suited to the academic structure and pace of Turkish students compared to the SAT.
Why Choose ACT with Study First Academy?
For students coming from the Turkish education system, the SAT’s heavy linguistic structure and complex passages can sometimes be challenging. In contrast, the ACT offers:
Concise and Clear Questions: Passages are structured in a way that is easier to interpret compared to the SAT.
Success Through Speed: The ACT measures the ability to manage time effectively rather than just testing deep linguistic nuances.
No Penalty for Wrong Answers: With Study First Academy strategies, we aim for maximum scores by ensuring every question is answered.
The Science Advantage: For students with strong quantitative skills, the “Science Reasoning” section provides a dedicated area to make a difference.
Our Training Methodology
Our educational process is tailored entirely to the student’s current level and target university:
Free Diagnostic Test: Before starting the program, students take a full-length, authentic ACT practice exam.
Performance Analysis: Results are analyzed by our experts to identify specific weaknesses (Speed, Grammar, Quantitative Reasoning, etc.).
Personalized Curriculum: A schedule is created that focuses on high-need areas and aligns with the student’s school hours.
Periodic Progress Tracking: Regular mock exams monitor the student’s journey toward the perfect score of 36.
