The ACT is a fast exam. Students who know the material still lose points to its pacing, and they usually discover that the first time they sit a full timed paper. Al Khawarizmi Institute has prepared students for university entrance exams since 2011, and our ACT course is built around timed practice rather than theory.
What the course covers
- All four sections — English, Mathematics, Reading and Science
- The optional Writing section, if your universities ask for it
- Timed practice exams, so the pacing stops being a surprise
- Question-type strategy: what is being tested, and what to leave
- Review of each practice paper, so the next attempt fixes something specific
ACT or SAT?
Most universities accept either, so the right answer depends on where you are applying and which format suits how you work. We prepare for both — see our SAT preparation course — and will tell you which one to sit rather than which one we happen to be running.
In person or online
Classes run at our three branches — Beirut (Mar Elias), the Chouf (Simkanieh) and Choueifat (Saida Old Street) — and as live Zoom groups for students elsewhere in Lebanon or abroad. Same teachers, same materials, same certificate either way.
Frequently asked questions
What does the ACT cover?
English, Mathematics, Reading and Science, with an optional Writing section. It is a fast exam, so pacing matters as much as knowledge.
ACT or SAT — which should I sit?
The universities you are applying to decide, and most accept either. We prepare for both — see our SAT preparation course — so tell us where you are applying and we will point you at the right one.
Do you run practice exams under timed conditions?
Yes. Timed practice is the core of the course, because the first time a student meets real ACT pacing should not be on test day.
Can I prepare for the ACT online?
Yes, as live Zoom classes, for students elsewhere in Lebanon or abroad.
