ACT Prep is a course that allows students to prepare for the college entrance tests with a primary focus on the ACT test. This class is designed for Juniors and Seniors who want to score well on their ACT test or to improve their ACT scores.

ACT PREP SYLLABUS

The purpose of this one semester class is to help prepare college-bound students to score adequately on their ACT test and/or to raise their ACT score to a higher level. With renewed emphasis at the local, state, and national levels to improve test scores, ACT Prep is a course that was created to improve those scores. Since this is a Pass (S) or Fail (F) course, your attendance is a must in order to pass the course. You cannot complete the work outside of this classroom.

From now on, whenever you see the word “standardized,” think “predictable” instead. The ACT test measures what it says it does: academic achievement. It doesn’t pretend to measure your analytical ability nor your intelligence. The ACT tests the same information the same way, year after year. For example, there are always 14 plane geometry questions on the ACT. There are exactly 10 questions on punctuation. You can count on it. Even the way they ask the questions is predictable, based on the need for a standardized product.

The Act is a multiple-choice standardized test which is supposed to measure your knowledge on some of the subjects taught in high school. With breaks, the test takes about three and a half hours. It is usually divided into four sections which are always given in the same order.

ENGLISH (45 MINUTES — 75 QUESTIONS)

MATH (60 MINUTES – 60 QUESTIONS)

READING (35 MINUTES – 40 MINUTES)

SCIENCE REASONING (35 MINUTES – 40 QUESTIONS)

You will receive intensive instruction in English, Math, Reading, and Science. Work will be primarily at the computer using selected software which was designed to prepare students for their ACT tests.
