SUMMARY:ACT/SAT Weekly Prep Sessions
DESCRIPTION: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. Students can attend each session or pick and choose the sessions they need. Content is unique for each session and is never repeated. \n  \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.

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“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.”
