ACT Course Length

Five classes (8.5 hours total) The first two classes are two hours each to cover 2 sections of the ACT at each class. The remaining 3 sessions are 1.5 hours each.

Class Format

At Test Preps, our philosophy is that small group instruction is the right way to prepare for the ACT.  Each class begins with a mini-lesson that teaches strategies that are specific to the four sections of the ACT. This includes guided practice and pacing drills to increase speed, which is a key element to success on the ACT. All students will individually conference with the instructor to set goals and then check their progress.

Materials

The Official ACT Prep Guide (Wiley) is included in the cost of the course. We will also provide a curriculum folder with ACT preparation materials.

Homework

Approximately  45 minutes of daily homework is assigned at each class. Success in our ACT course depends on the work a student puts in at home internalizing the strategies we teach and then conscientiously completing practice tests under timed conditions and correcting homework.

Attendance

Attendance is mandatory because each lesson builds upon the previous class. Missed classes must be made up before the following class at an additional cost of $125 for a 1.5-hour session.

Cost

The cost of our ACT course is $500.  A $25 discount is available if a student signs up with a friend!

Keep in mind that missed classes must be made up before the next class with an additional fee of $125 for a 1.5-hour private session.
