If you are looking to apply for admission to a Catholic High School in the Archdiocese of New York or the Diocese of Brooklyn/Queens, Varsity Tutors offers TACHS test prep that can help you get ready for exam day. TACHS stands for the Test for Admission into Catholic High Schools, and the exam is used as one influential factor when these high schools decide who to welcome onto their campuses. TACHS prep services through Varsity Tutors can teach you the skills necessary to reach for your goals on this exam and give yourself the best shot at being admitted to your high school of choice. Contact us today if TACHS prep sounds like it could help you.
Students seeking admission for the school term starting next year must take this year's test, and TACHS classes through Varsity Tutors can help you get prepared to do just that. TACHS tutors can work with you to cover all of the material that will be on the exam. The sections of the test are listed below:
TACHS Sections
- Reading
- Students may have to answer questions about main idea, author's purpose, the meaning of a word in context, and other types of comprehension questions regarding informational and literary passages.
- Written Expression
- Questions regarding organization, sentence structure, clarity, and effective or appropriateness of expression in writing. Students also need to identify errors in text.
- Math
- Questions about number sense and operations, algebraic patterns and connections, data analysis/probability/statistics, geometry, and measurement.
- Ability
- Questions assess students' abilities to reason with somewhat more novel questions that use spatial and figural content. The questions show how well students use their reasoning skills to solve problems they may or may not have been directly taught.
TACHS tutoring through Varsity Tutors can help you focus on the parts of the exam where you need the most improvement. Perhaps you are great at math but have some trouble with reading comprehension. The instructors you work with as part of your TACHS test prep will spend more of their time and effort drilling you on reading selections and not waste energy going over math problems that you have already mastered.
TACHS courses consist of one-one-one study sessions with a tutor. As part of your TACHS preparation, Varsity Tutors does its very best to match you with an instructor who can work conveniently with your existing schedule. TACHS test prep does not solely consist of drilling down the relevant exam material. Tutors in a TACHS course can also share with you tips and strategies that may work well on the test when you come across tricky or difficult questions.
The instructor in your TACHS test preparation program can also help you understand what the format of the exam will be like and what to bring or not to bring on test day. Learning the material that will be covered on all sections of the exam is always priority number one, but TACHS prep is about more than just correct and incorrect answers. Private instructors can customize their lesson plans to your learning style and do their best to ensure you develop the necessary skills as the exam approaches.
The Varsity Tutors online platform provides a virtual learning space for you to meet with your tutor for maximum convenience. No time needs to be wasted driving to meet you instructor at a local library. Your TACHS class study sessions can take place in your own home or wherever you have an internet connection.
If the TACHS prep services offered by Varsity Tutors sound appealing to you, don't hesitate to get in touch with one of our Educational Directors today. Contact them online or by phone, and they will answer any questions you may still have about our TACHS test prep offerings. Head into exam day with confidence, knowing you did all you could to prepare.
