THE ACT PREPARATION WORKSHOP
In addition to teaching you specific strategies for dealing with each section of the test, this ACT Preparation Workshop will help you prepare to successfully take the test by:
- letting you practice budgeting of time and pacing by taking mini-tests
- giving you access to a complete practice test and answer key to take with you
- showing you exactly what the format of the test is and the kinds of questions to expect for each of the sections of the test
- giving you information and strategies for the essay portion

The best method for scoring well on the ACT and replacing anxiety with confidence is to be knowledgeable and well-prepared. To prepare properly, be sure to allow adequate time between this preparation class and the ACT test of your choice.
Bring a CALCULATOR and a WATCH WITH A SECOND HAND. A manual for use in the class and at home is provided to each participant.
