Planning Your ACT/SAT Journey
Parents and Students are welcome to join this one-session overview of the SAT and ACT tests. The digital SAT is fairly new, and the enhanced ACT is now the standard version of the ACT. The Science section is optional, but should you take it anyway? Which of these two tests is best for you? Should you take multiple ACT or SAT tests? What are the best strategies for preparation? We will address all these questions, and more. The instructor is an experienced educator licensed with Chariot Learning, an nationally recognized top tutoring agency, and he is also a member of the National Test Prep Association.
