MARTIN, Tenn. – A high score on the ACT exam could be worth thousands of dollars in scholarships for incoming college students.
High school students who wish to improve their scores are encouraged to enroll in an ACT prep course, available through the University of Tennessee at Martin Office of Extended Campus and Online Studies. The course will meet from 8 a.m.-noon on Saturdays, Sept. 15–Oct. 20, at the UT Martin Jackson Center.
Participants will use materials developed by Cambridge Educational Services. Students will learn how to complete test problems based on frequency, difficulty, substantive knowledge, curriculum and alternative test-taking strategies.
Students will take both a pre- and post-test under real testing conditions to determine individual skills and abilities. Each test is scored by Cambridge and students are given assessment reports with which to create a personal study plan. Students should bring an ACT approved calculator, if desired, and two No. 2pencils to the first class meeting for the pre-test.
The registration fee for the course is $225 per person, and includes two textbooks, two official ACT tests and diagnostic reports. The textbooks for the course are the ACT Cambridge textbook and The Big Book of Skills textbook, both 11th editions.
To register for the course, contact ECOS at 731-881-7082, or register online at http://www.utm.edu/departments/ecce/non_credit_registration.php. |
