The Z! Prep SAT and ACT diagnostic tests are available online and mimic the exams in terms of test format, difficulty and timing. The results of the diagnostic offer both a summary of student strengths and weaknesses, and also a projected score.

Post this

(PRWEB) October 22, 2014 -- The ACT and SAT college entrance exams have been receiving a lot of attention in the news. To start, in 2012, the ACT surpassed the SAT in popularity (determined by number of students taking the exams) for the first time in history. Then the makers of both tests announced major changes coming to the SAT and ACT – everything from moving from the current paper-and-pencil format to a digital format (ACT in 2015), to restructuring the scoring (SAT is moving from a 2400 score back to its old 1600 score in 2016), and entirely revamping content in some cases (getting rid of obscure vocabulary on the SAT for example). As a result of these changes, the test prep experts at Club Z! In-Home Tutoring (in conjunction with their Z! Prep test prep brand) have announced some major changes of their own, to the Club Z!/Z! Prep SAT and ACT diagnostic tests.

Club Z! has offered proprietary SAT and ACT diagnostic tests since 2006, giving students a detailed summary of strengths and weaknesses on these important exams. But the test prep experts at Club Z! recently announced changes to their diagnostic tests, designed to help students maximize score potential. These changes include adding a projected score for the actual SAT or ACT, moving to an online format (offered in addition to the paper-and-pencil format), and giving students answer explanations for all diagnostic questions to act as an additional study guide.

Cari Diaz, Vice President of Club Z! said, "A major challenge facing most students is that they are just unsure as to which test would produce the highest scores for them. That's why we have always strongly suggested that students take both of our diagnostic tests. Now with the online format, this is easier than ever to do." Taking both tests gives students a chance to become familiar with the format and types of questions on each exam, the subject matter tested, and the pacing of both tests.

Club Z! has also updated its test prep programs to include more training on the differences between these two tests, so that students can focus on their optimal test and maximize their score potential. For example, many students don't realize that the SAT has a correction for guessing; that is, they deduct points for wrong answers. Whereas the ACT is scored based on the number of correct answers with no penalty for guessing. In addition, the timing of the ACT is more intense (more questions in less time) than the SAT. And the ACT includes trigonometry questions in its math section, whereas the SAT does not. Given these differences, here are a few of the proven strategies employed by Club Z!:

  • Consider the highest level of math a student has completed in school, and how recently. Many juniors taking the tests for the first time are currently enrolled in Trigonometry at school. This means that the subject material is fresh in their mind, which may help boost the math score on the ACT. If a student hasn’t taken Algebra or Geometry in a few years, it may be more difficult to recall important concepts from these subjects, especially when under the stress of a test-taking situation.
  • Another major consideration should be how well a student generally guesses on tests. The SAT penalizes for incorrect responses by marking the score down, which means that if a student is not a strong guesser, he/she may do better on the ACT, which does not penalize for incorrect responses. The ACT score is based on the number of correct answers only.
  • Because the ACT is a test of endurance, if a student tends to struggle with test anxiety, or lose focus easily on longer tests, the SAT may be a better bet.

Understanding strengths and weaknesses, and practicing for test day, are two proven strategies for success, particularly for students preparing for the upcoming ACT on October 25th or the SAT on November 8th.
