ACT Prep Course

The Enhanced ACT contains four curriculum-based tests that measure academic achievement in the areas of English, reading, math and science reasoning. Preparing for the ACT can increase test scores that are important for gaining entry into the college of your choice, and in receiving scholarships. If you are interested in enhancing your test-taking skills and strengthening your academic preparation for the Enhanced ACT, then enroll in the ACT Preparation Workshops.

This program provides 12 hours of instruction in: writing strategies to assist you in the new essay part of the ACT test; orientation to the Enhanced 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.
