Transcripts
in this video I'm going to tell you how
to drastically improve your English
score no matter whether you're starting
at like a 20 a 25 or a 30 and what you
need to do to achieve a perfect 36. now
I'm absolutely qualified to tell you
this stuff I took the test back in April
this year got a perfect score in every
single section I've coached tons of my
students to 34s 35s and 36s in English
the good news is the English section is
the easiest one to get a 36 on and
absolutely easiest one to improve it
I've had a student improve as many as 14
points going from an 18 to a 32 just
this year the problem is you don't know
the grammar rules most students go
through the ace to English section and
pick answers based on what looks right
or what sounds right as opposed to
actually knowing exactly how all the
gram rules work on applying those so I
tell my students if you want to really
boost your score and get a perfect 36
there's two things you have to do number
one we have to learn all the grammar
rules on the test which again I promise
you don't know and number two you have
to learn how to use the patterns of the
test to your advantage so if you're
thinking oh I know a bunch of the
Grandma's I'm pretty good at grammar
stuff let me prove you wrong immediately
and show you a rule that is on every
single act that I promise you do not
know
I like to call this the name jewel it
has to do with them questions like 66
where we see names infer what they do or
don't have comms so the rule has to do
with the description before a person's
name so a little rule kind of here if I
say my friend let's say my friend
Jake
versus
my best friend Jake
all right so our simple rule here has to
do with why it's called the identifier
before the person's name my friend is
not specific to one person so if it's
not specific like my friend we have to
keep the name with no commas if it is
specific to one person my best friend is
specific so now the name is extra so
here as I read the sentence it says it
wasn't until Festival organizer well
that's not specific to one person so we
have to keep Dottie Thompson's name so
no commas and respected hula Master
again there could be more than one
respected hula master so we have to keep
Uncle George the ope's name that's how
you say that so we need no comments for
both of them so our answer here is J
again a rule you probably didn't know
but once you memorize this it's super
easy to apply and testing now that names
was just one of many Grim rules you need
to master to get a perfect 36 on the ACT
English test and we can see on the
screen now is a list of all the
different gram rules that you need to
know and grammar topics all the ones
that are in yellow are actually ones
that I can teach you entirely for free
in the free trial to my ultimate act
course so uh there's a link below for
how to for that it is entirely free no
credit card needed so definitely go jump
in there it's a great place to start and
learn a bunch of the really important
grammars now the second School you need
to master to get that perfect 36 in AC
English is pattern spotting we want to
always look at the differences in the
image choices notice patterns and
choices and use that to our advantage
and I'm going to show you two quick
patterns you can use on testing now the
first pattern to teach you is how to
spot subject verb questions and a little
trick I like to call odd one out that we
can use to tell the answer is even if
you cannot find the subject so here 55
is a subject verb question I spotted
this because I see a singular and plural
version of the same verb we have the
verb to be here in the past I have was
versus were singular versus plural also
if we see say is versus r or has versus
have in the answer choice or any verb
with s and no s like say runs versus run
we see a singular verse plural here so
here what we're looking for is you can
plug in he and that's going to tell us
singular they is going to tell us if
it's plural so let's look at our
different options here we see for our
verbs so in our current one it says is I
can say he is so that is singular I can
say he has been they were he was or
which one's the odd one out our answer
here is C now if you read the whole
sentence the subject here is the angular
shapes in the painting how noted hence
the angular shapes were actually
derivative but we can use this pattern
spotting trick to use and know it's a
subject verb question and use this odd
one out trick to basically cheat the
test and know every single time
whichever one's the odd one out that is
your answer
next I want to show you how to Ace some
of the easiest questions in act which
are questions testing on redundancy and
concises on the ACT if we see a question
like this where we see four answer
choices one is shorter three or longer
you always want to pick the shortest
answer choice because these questions
are testing us on redundancy conciseness
we want shorter simpler answers so
here's an example it says no new snow
had fallen since the weekend went back
to back snowy blizzards turn
Philadelphia into a place and recognize
well a blizzard is by definition a bunch
of snow so saying snowy blizzards Earth
blizzards of snowfall are blizzards of
snow it's just redundant we just want
our shorter simpler answers here so if
you can spot that pattern you'll see
three longer answers one shorter answer
no differences in grammar you go
remember go with the short answer
so even that one names Rule and those
two patterns buying Trace can already
start to improve your score to three
even more points now I can give all my
secrets away in this video but if you
want to learn everything I have to teach
you can sign up for my ultimate act
