ACT Prep
The purpose of this course is to prepare you for success in the college of your choice through the standardized test preparation during your 11th Grade year. To that end, one of the factors in your application process will be standardized test scores. This course addresses improving your standardized test scores for more compelling applications. Scores will be improved through your own hard work and ownership of this process. The more you practice outside of the classroom and own your own process, the higher your scores will be.

During one of these four class periods each week, students will meet in assigned small groups for targeted tutoring sessions.
