Assessments in this class serve a crucial role in gauging students' progress and readiness for the ACT English test. The primary assessment offered is an ACT English practice test, designed to closely mimic the format and timing of the actual test. This practice test allows students to simulate the ACT English test questions and timing, providing invaluable preparation for their real test date. These assessments will be conducted in class to ensure a controlled environment conducive to simulating test conditions accurately. Participation in the practice test is optional for all students; however, it is highly encouraged as it forms a fundamental component of the bootcamp's preparation process.Class Experience
