Course Descriptions and Fees

ACT Preparation

ACT Preparation is designed to provide students with the test-specific strategies, skills review and practice necessary to be well-prepared on test day. Direct instruction will include review of critical skills and concepts tested on the English, Math, Reading and Science tests, instruction of test-taking strategies specific to the SAT Reasoning test, and thorough explanations of all practice tests taken. Students will learn how to manage their time effectively to maximize their score.

Students will be assigned practice ACT test sections between each meeting. These assignments will require approximately 2-3 hours of work outside of the group meetings each week. Completion of these practice tests is vital to maximize the benefit of instruction and will provide the students (and their parents) with a realistic score potential. In addition, practice will help students build the stamina and endurance necessary to score to their maximum potential on test day.

Students should bring their calculators and any previous score reports to each session. All other materials will be provided.
