SUMMARY:ACT/SAT Super Skills Saturday
DESCRIPTION:These Saturday prep sessions are designed to deliver concentrated exam prep for the English\, reading\, writing\, and math portions of the ACT and SAT exams. This workshop is perfect for students writing either the ACT or SAT exams who want to improve their foundational test skills during a day-long course. \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. Options doesn’t just teach “test-taking tricks”. 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“I really liked how we went step by step together as a class. To go along with that\, I found it really helpful when we did the practice problems together and really went in-depth on why the answer was either wrong or right.” \nPlease note\, this session runs from 10am-1pm and 2pm-5pm.
