ACT Prep Information
Act prep sessions for juniors will begin after Christmas Vacation. Sign-ups will be with Mr. McDonough, beginning December 10 and ending Tuesday, January 5th. These sessions do not guarantee you a 36 on the ACT, but will familiarize students with the format and "quirks" of the test. There is no charge, so you will definitely get your money's worth. Each group will meet every other day during homeroom from January 7th until March 31st, the last day of school before the spring ACT is offered. We will also have at least one practice test (Sunday, Feb. 14)
Important Note- Except for math sessions, the ACT Prep groups will have 50 or more students in them, all packed into one classroom, so a certain degree of cooperation will be required and expected. Students should commit themselves to these sessions as to a regular class. They should be on time, avoid conflicting activities, and be prepared to pay attention. Those who prefer to eat, drink, sleep, text, play cards, gossip, daydream, or vegetate should just remain in homeroon and enjoy themselves. Those who are chronically missing, late, or inattentive will be dismissed and will receive a full refund!
