SUMMARY:Core Test Skills
DESCRIPTION:These intensive sessions focus on helping students master the ACT or SAT exam. Topics will cover every portion of the test\, including test-taking strategies\, time management tips\, and crossover skills for the ACT/SAT exam. Materials will be provided. \nHow is test prep at Options different?  \nTest prep at Options is unique because it combines test preparation with the teaching of fundamental academic skills. With many years of experience\, Options instructors ensure that students understand the higher-level reading\, writing and math skills that will prepare them for the ACT and SAT but will also help them succeed in high school and beyond. Options doesn’t just teach “test-taking tricks” like other test prep organizations. Instead\, students receive a strong grounding in how the test works and strategies for attaining a high score\, combined with an opportunity to increase their overall academic performance. \nWhat do our students have to say? \n\n“I really liked that the instructor had everyone participate because it made it feel more like an actual class. I also liked they gave us lots of extra practice after the course was even finished.” \n\nCost: $375 for the three days + applicable taxes; $150 per individual day + applicable taxes
