Frequently Asked Questions
The number of tests a student takes will depend on their baseline score, score objectives and schedule. Generally, we advise students to take an official test at least twice. Many students benefit from “superscoring” meaning their final test score is comprised of the highest section scores from different test dates. Although we encourage all students to do a practice proctored test before taking their official test, many students still benefit from the ‘real world’ experience of an official test and feel more relaxed the second time they take it when they know exactly what to expect. Your tutor will discuss with you how many tests they think you should target.
Superscoring allows students to combine the highest section scores from different test dates to create a new final score. Most colleges in the United States accept superscoring, and superscoring can be an important component of a successful test preparation strategy.
Baseline tests are taken before tutoring begins. Baseline scores help tutors determine whether the ACT® or SAT will be the better test for a student. They help tutors identify areas of strengths and challenges for students and thus pinpoint areas of focus for tutoring sessions. In addition, baseline scores help tutors assess realistic score objectives and test dates to target.
If you have already taken a baseline test or an official test before coming to Marks Education, please let your tutor know. We can use baseline tests from other companies and official test scores can always serve as baselines.
In addition to a baseline test, students should take at least one full proctored practice test before their official test. Many students will elect to take more than one practice test. We offer free proctored tests almost every weekend of the year.
On average, tutors will assign between 2-3 hours of homework per class. Homework will include pages in our workbooks as well as practice test sections.
