ACT® Test Prep Information

TEST PREP FOR THE ACT® 2011-2012 at Prospect High School 

ACT Test Prep registration will open December 1, 2011 through January 13, 2012.

 Prospect's Test Prep Seminar offers a comprehensive approach for preparing students to take the ACT
    enables students to apply and practice proven strategies that improve results
    focuses on developing the ability to solve problems, draw conclusions, make inferences, and think analytically
    provides assignments that solidify skills

This course is offered to juniors during second semester in order to prepare for the ACT, a part of the mandatory Prairie State Achievement Exam.  

Students will learn how the ACT is scored and develop test-taking strategies to help improve their scores. 

Strategies for taking the ACT differ from those that are appropriate for the PSAT/SAT. 

This seminar is not an individualized tutorial.  It is a review of the course content that students have been exposed to in their high school classes.

Prospect offers three sessions:

SESSION 1:   Saturday mornings  (8:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.)   February 4, 11, 18, 25, March 3, 10.
SESSION 2:   Monday afternoons (3:20 p.m. - 6:45 p.m.)      February 6, 13, 20, 27, March 5, 12.     Note:  There is class on February 20th.
SESSION 3:   Wednesday evenings (6:00 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.)  February 8, 15, 22, 29, March 7, 14.
