ACT® Test Prep Information

TEST PREP FOR THE ACT® 2012-2013 at Prospect High School 

ACT Test Prep registration will open December 3, 2012 through January 11, 2013.

 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 2, 9, 16, 23, March 2, 9.
SESSION 2:   Monday After School   (3:20 p.m. - 6:45 p.m.)      February 4, 11, 18*, 25, March 4, 11.
                                                                                                               *  Test Prep still meets on February 18th, even though there is no school.
SESSION 3:   Wednesday evenings  (6:00 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.)     February 6, 13, 20, 27, March 6, 13.
