This unparalleled ACT® test
preparation course readies students for all four sections of the
ACT® test, plus the optional writing section.
Students take official, retired ACT® pre- and
post-tests to determine strengths and weaknesses. Qualified
instructors work directly with students to work through this
comprehensive preparation program.
This course is
designed to complement area high schools’ preparatory programs.
This program provides 12 hours of instruction in: writing strategies to assist you in the essay part of the ACT® test; orientation to the ACT® and its four parts; opportunity to take diagnostic assessments; instruction in all four areas; test-taking strategies for each of the components and for the entire test; practice with printed materials where test-taking tips can be applied and reinforced and interactive skill drills in deficit areas as measured by the diagnostic test.
Students will:
- Establish their own baseline for ACT® testing by completing an official, retired ACT® test
- Receive a detailed analysis of their baseline test to understand personal strengths and weaknesses
- Learn powerful test-taking strategies for each test section and question type
- Gain an understanding of the test structure, question types, and scoring methods for each academic area
- Build confidence through interactive skill drills and practice exercises
- Complete the course by taking another
official, retired ACT® test and receive a final analysis
The ACT® test is a gateway to your
future plans. Don’t make
the ACT® more stressful by arriving unprepared.
