What's included

12 live meetings
11 in-class hours
Homework
1-2 hours per week. On the weeks that we don't assign a full practice test, students will be offered a variety of subject-specific drills to choose from. Each self-grading drill comes in three different levels (easy, medium, and hard) and the students will be able to select the level (or levels) that best fit their needs.
Certificate of Completion
Students will have the opportunity to closely monitor their progress using the scores on the 2-3 practice tests they will complete as they work though this course. These scores must be submitted to the teacher, and we will provide a certificate that reflects their improvement over the 12 weeks.

What Will Be Taught?

Throughout the course, we will cover all sections of the ACT: Grammar, Math, Reading, and Science. You will learn essential test-taking strategies, time management techniques, and effective approaches to tackling each question type.  Take a close look at the syllabus to see the exact topics we plan to cover in each of the 12 weekly lessons.


Teaching Approach:

This class is led by an experienced ACT instructor whose style combines carefully planned presentations with frequent practice questions, so students can put their new knowledge to work right away.  The cadence of receiving the just-right instruction, attempting challenging problems from the ACT, and then getting them correct (or at least understanding how to solve them) ensures that this class will be effective without being boring.  

Student questions are always welcomed, and the teacher will make adjustments to the planned topics in response to specific student needs and "teachable moments."

Interactivity:

You'll have ample opportunities to interact with instructors both during and outside of class through:

Lectures: Detailed explanations of key concepts and strategies.
Sample Questions: Interactive exercises to reinforce learning and enhance retention.
Discussion: Group discussions and three dedicated Q&A sessions 


Prepare with confidence and master the ACT with our ACT Power Prep course. Whether you're aiming for a competitive score or striving for improvement, this course is your pathway to success.
