SUMMARY:Intro to Supplement Writing
DESCRIPTION:This three-hour session introduces students who are in grade 11 to the writing components for Canadian applications. \nThe session will include a presentation that outlines the typical essay and supplemental writing prompts required by major Canadian universities and programs. During this presentation\, session leaders will also provide writing and time management strategies and sample essays from previous years’ successful applications. Students will then be given time to brainstorm and engage in practice writing exercises. Options Solutions writing coaches will give students one-on-one feedback on their drafts. \nBeginning the application process early will give students the opportunity to make the most productive use of their summer and enter grade 12 with more clarity and direction.

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\, and writing 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\nThursday: Reading/Grammar \nFriday: Reading/Grammar \nSaturday: Reading/Grammar \nCost: $375 for the three days + applicable taxes; $150 per individual day + applicable taxes
