Here is what’s happening at Options Solutions this week:
Thursday, May 11th (South Granville)
Core test skills classes at Options Solutions allow students to prepare for the ACT and/or SAT exam(s) while also building essential academic skills. Students develop their abilities as active readers, learn fundamental grammar, and increase their understanding of essay structure. On-going classes prepare students for the ACT and/or SAT by teaching test structure and test-taking strategy. At the same time, students learn skills that translate into success at school in reading and writing.
Saturday, May 13th (South Granville)
The English 12 Provincial Exam is only a few months away and starting prep early is the key to mastering the exam. The exam is worth 40% of a student’s final English 12 mark, a mark which all universities use to calculate a student’s final admission average. Get a baseline score for the exam and start focusing your prep at the English 12 Mock Exam (+ debrief) session. Students complete a three-hour practice exam, followed by a two-hour debrief (at a later date) of the marked multiple choice and the essay questions.
Saturday, May 13th (West Vancouver + South Surrey)
Our “Write Well Workshop” series is designed to offer students productive ways of thinking about their writing journey and exercises to ease them into the practice of writing and editing. The Academic Practice session will teach students how to properly integrate quotations, conduct basic research, and cite sources in MLA and APA. Since becoming a better writer requires becoming a better editor, this session also puts students in the editor’s chair. Learn how to vary your sentence structure, choose fitting words, differentiate between the active and passive voice, and write with clarity and concision for maximum impact.
Saturday, May 13th (West Vancouver)
The official ACT April exam is only one month away and students who are preparing to write that exam should focus on ensuring they’ve mastered the exam format and content. The ACT Super Saturday will cover skills and content, including writing, reading, math, and science to help students feel ready for exam day.
