When students come to me for ACT prep, they have already taken the test. Some have studied while others have not. Those students who have studied have used a study guide. However, they struggle to get a high score. Yes, a good score will get you into college and get you scholarships to pay for college, but there are so many more things you can do with ACT skills. Like, plan a vacation. What? Like, plan a vacation.
Research and budgeting, right?
Research is reading critically, and budgeting is math. Two subjects down. Many vacations are related to science. Now all you need to do is figure out how to put English and writing in, and you have the skills of the ACT. Let’s dig deeper. You don’t want to end up in a roach motel, so you must look at the area around the motel/hotel and check out the reviews. Meals take up much of the vacation budget. Most restaurants have online menus with prices and reviews. Transportation is expensive too. But you can save money by booking early. When driving, you can use smartphone apps to compare gas prices. These are just a few of the ways to use ACT skills to plan a vacation. Here are 26 more.
Reading Strategies
ACT English skills see if you can correct grammar, punctuation, and editing of a paper. You can look critically at the website you are studying to check for mistakes. If there are a lot of mistakes, you might want to go somewhere else.
Math You want to make sure that you are on budget during a vacation. Math is the only way to budget.
Science
The ACT science test is all about the scientific method and experiments. As you research your vacation destination, think about why your destination is special and how it was discovered or created.
These are just a few of the ideas that correlate with the ACT test while planning a vacation at the same time. Do you have to learn about the ACT to apply its skills? No, of course not. Applying ACT skills help you create lifelong learning habits.
