Couse description
ACT Prep offers video lessons and tons of practice from Magoosh to help teach students the skills and the strategies to optimize their performance on the ACT. This course covers every topic on the ACT, from grammar, to mental math, to trigonometry. It covers active reading, essay writing, and science, so students are fully prepared. Lessons are short and focused on specific objectives and are often followed up with quick drills, so students can practice their newly learned skills immediately. Every computerized practice question comes with a video explanation, in case students get it incorrect and need a little extra help. The course also offers tips and tricks for taking the ACT. Students take several practice ACT tests as well as write a sample essay.
In addition, ACT Prep explores the biblical commandment to pursue knowledge and looks at the difference between knowledge and wisdom. The worldly definition of success is challenged, and the value of applying God’s Word to life is investigated. Students learn to glorify God in all their activities, including studying for the ACT!
