ACT PREP CLASS:

Preparing for the April 19th Test (We are gearing this

session to our juniors who will taking the ACT at HTHS on 4/19/17). 6:00-8:00 P.M. (Tuesdays-2nd Floor “B” wing; Thursdays 2nd Floor Main) 8 classes: Tuesdays (English/reading/writing/science instruction) and Thursdays (math instruction) Timed practice will be embedded into each night’s activities, along with analysis The NONREFUNDABLE fee for the course is $230, which does NOT include a book. Please purchase The Official ACT Prep Guide 2016-17, 1st edition. If you want us to purchase books for you, see price breakdown on page 2. Although the fee covers this test session only, we allow for students to continue coming to each session throughout this CURRENT school year at no additional cost.

We have designed our test prep to offer 2 different sessions each night. Session A will be for beginner testers, as well as those who have scored 23 or less in an area, and Session B will be for advanced level testers. In order to attend Session B, you must have a composite score of 24 in an area. This is a fluid program, meaning you may have scored a composite of 24 in math and need to attend Session B for math; however, you may have only scored a 19 in Reading and will attend Session A for that material. See schedule below for the session that will benefit you the most. You must have your ACT score analysis sheet WITH YOU in order to attend the Session B classes. This will enable the instructor to give more precise instruction for your needs, based on your analysis. This is also recommended for you if you’ll be in the A section (although this is not required for this section). It is also suggested (not required) that students also purchase Barron’s ACT 36: Aiming for the Perfect Score, as the instructors will be using that book with you in addition to the other book.
