欢迎光临！Magoosh入门。 我叫凯特，很高兴你能参加我们的表演课程，因为我会给你一些信息和建议 some tips to help you get started. I'm also gonna give you some of my advice on how you might use your study time more 如果你需要的话，有效地减少开支。

我想指出的一个有趣的事实是，你的ACT分数在仅仅记录了5个小时的备考后就会提高。 你猜怎么着？这一课很重要。 不管你现在有没有这种感觉，你都得跑开了。你已经处在一个很好的位置去实现你的目标，很明显你已经做到了 demonstrated that you see the potential value in learning more about the ACT, And more about the materials you'll be tested on.

And we're here to help teach you the skills and the strategies that would give you that edge. 当我说，我们，我实际上是代表我们所有人，在加州伯克利的马古什办公室工作。 如果您感兴趣，可以在Magoosh网站上阅读我们所有的bios。你可能不会那样做，你有其他的消磨时间的方法。

But it might be worth it to just read a little bit about the teachers of this course. 我们现在有五个人。你大部分时间都在听克里斯汀和迈克的课。 So Kristin does the English, she does the writing lessons. She does some of the science, some of the reading.

Mike is our math guy. They're both excellent teachers. Down here, we have Chris, he helps out with the reading section. We have Lucas. 卢卡斯帮你解答了一些问题，你可以在产品和视频中找到解释。

然后我就开始协调了。我做了很多概述，填补了空白。 每天早上，当我上班的时候，我做的第一件事，实际上，就是检查课后复习。 我查看学生们留下了什么反馈。所以请注意，我仔细观察了这些，它们确实引起了很多关注。

我们想让这门课对你尽可能好，尽可能有帮助。 We also have more than 40 ACT Test Prep Experts to help answer your questions. A lot of students don't realize this, but when you sign up for Magoosh you're not just getting the lessons, the questions. You're getting access to tutors.

意思是说，如果你对材料有疑问，只要给我们发个便条，就会有人在几个小时内给你回复。 So definitely, don't let yourself be stopped. If you run into problems, reach out and get the help you need. 你这样做的方式是你可以在任何时候按下帮助按钮。这当然是对材料的支持，但是 also if you have any kind of account-related questions, That's also the way that you'll be able to reach out and communicate to us.

And what's kinda cool, is we can actually see exactly what page you're on when you submit the request. And so, let's say you really tripped up on a math problem, you wanna contact us, you don't even have to describe what math problem it is. We'll be able to track it from our end. So at this point, you might be wondering how will you be learning information.

We have hundreds of practice questions, getting up-close to 1,000, actually. Our computerized questions can be answered as full-length practice tests, or 你可以把他们分开，一次回答几个问题。电脑实际上会记录你答对了多少题以及你的速度。 所以，你可以追踪你的进度。第二个工具。

每道电脑练习题都有视频讲解。与其只是阅读如何得到正确答案，你实际上得到了 to watch video explanations and actually see and hear a teacher describing it. And they're really quick, they're short, they're usually around two minutes. Third, we have an extensive list of lessons. These are about 10 minutes long and this is where we teach you the specific strategies and also the specific content.

So we have everything from grammar, to mental math, to trigonometry. We got active reading, essay writing, science, and finally, 我们上了很多课后都有简短的练习。这样，你就可以练习你在课上学到的技能。 我知道，所有这些都可能是压倒性的，你实际上可能没有足够的时间，甚至可以通过我们的所有材料。

I would like to take this opportunity to pass on some tips I have for you on how to save time. First, I recommend that you open the transcript box when you watch lessons. In that way, you can scan content, you can advance the video. I know a lot of you are familiar with features like this from other online videos.

你可以向下滚动，看看本课的内容，然后决定。这是你要看的课吗？ Do you need to watch all of it? Can you just fast forward to the end? And by clicking on the tax at a particular location, it's going to advance the lesson to that exact point.

You can watch lessons at a higher speed. We've got 1.5x version, 2x version. A third tip I have for you is that you squeeze in mini-sessions between activities. You can watch a lesson, practice a couple of flash cards, answer a practice question, read a blog post.

好好利用你的时间。他们加起来是加班费。 So, what are you're next steps? I mean, a lot of you just wanna get started right now, right? Well, I wanna go through a few things you should do within the next week or so, And then I'm gonna talk you through a couple of things to might just doing right now, right after finishing this lesson.

First, get an ACT-approved calculator, and you're likely to find that your current calculator is ACT-approved. I've included a link in this lesson where you can learn more about how to figure this out. 只要看看下面这节课，你就会看到几个不同的链接。还有，一个有形的，微小的设备。

那可能是手表或计时器，你可以选择关闭哔哔声功能。 这样，你就可以在考试日使用它了。我们的电脑里有计数器，但在某个时候， 你想在类似考试的条件下开始练习。参加法案规定的免费官方实践考试。

我们给你做了练习测试。但至少有一次，而且 理想的情况是，你应该尽早参加官方的考试。当你这么做的时候，你可以创建一个帐户。 选择测试日期。它可以是暂时的，但它会帮助你 kind of figure out what your target is, how much time you have to work with.

这会让你觉得更真实。你以后可以随时更改。 然后建立你的学习空间。留出时间学习。 You might stock your space with the supplies you need, pencils, scratch paper. I actually recommend, at some point anyway, unlined scratch paper.

Because on the actual exam, you don't get notebook paper. You're gonna be doing all of your work on your actual test booklet. 你的扫描管，你的小册子。你甚至可以打印出几个Scantron。 所以我已经包括一个链接到那些，也是你在学习期间用铅笔做一些练习的课程的链接。

你可以做的事情。检查脱线sh ACT flashcards and some of the other resources we have. I've added a link to the web-based version of the flashcards. But you can also get the Lesson app. 如果您还没有设置抽认卡，请查看参考资料部分，了解这一点。

你可以看一些其他的技巧和策略视频。你可能想看每个部分的一节示范课。 So of course, that would be the English, the math, the reading, the science, BSA. And on a similar note, answer a question or 每一部分都有更多的内容。当你这么做的时候，这是一个观看视频的好机会 解释和熟悉这些是什么样的。

永远记住这是你的课程。所以让它为你工作吧！ 使用这个类没有错误的方法。例如，你不必按顺序听课。 You can jump around. You'll derive a lot of value from this course, 只要你做以下三件事，我强烈推荐。

非常重要，回答问题并观看课程。不要只做一个或另一个。 有些学生陷入了这种模式，他们只是没有得到同样的好处。 练习所有的科目，尤其是你的弱点。最后，把学习时间控制在30小时以上。

The hours after your fifth hour and up to your 30th hour are the hours where, for most students anyway on average, Studying has the biggest impact on 当你在学校时，你的学习速度也是如此。30个小时后，你仍然得到了很多好处，但是至少为30次拍摄。 And by the way, taking practice tests does count towards those 30 hours. So you'll be hearing a lot from me probably in the upcoming weeks 要么通过上课，有时通过电子邮件。

But for now, let's close with this quote by Abraham Lincoln. The best way to predict your future is to create it. 我知道你的生活在接下来的2到6年会有很大的改变。现在让我们都同意，当务之急是帮助你 去一个你正在创造和选择的地方，这是你升入大学的下一步。

非常感谢你的关注。我代表马古什的每一个人，知道我们支持你们。
