In this course, students will develop new strategies for how to manage questions, receive a detailed plan for practice opportunities to improve performance on the national exam, learn crucial time-saving tips, and familiarize themselves more generally with higher education.

Math and Science Reasoning are two closely related sections. The student may have a solid understanding of the content covered on the exam, but struggle with putting those pieces together to solve word problems and interpret data effectively. This two-hour course is designed to give students an overview of the challenges that each section addresses and provide educational strategies to solve them.

English and Reading are two closely related sections. Again, the student may have a solid understanding of the content yet struggle with putting those pieces together to correct grammatical errors and read passages efficiently and effectively. This two-hour course is designed to give students an overview of the challenges that each section addresses and provide educational strategies to solve them.

This one-hour session is a deeper dive expansion on the principles and examples from the ACT Success Tactics Workshop. Participants receive more assistance in the specific areas in which help is needed. Before the session, please submit your questions and comments to the instructor at abeene@utm.edu.

The ACT Mastery Classes are recommended to further strengthen skills after students have completed the ACT Success Tactics Workshops. In these two-hour sessions, students are exposed to techniques to use on the ACT exam, additional practice questions, and a review of the entire practice exams. Participants are emailed the practice exam prior to the class. Students are encouraged to complete the practice exam before attending the Mastery Class session. All content covered is new material that is not included in the ACT Success Tactics Workshop. Sessions include ACT Math Mastery, ACT Reading Mastery, ACT English Mastery, and ACT Science Reasoning Mastery.

Please note that completion of the ACT Success Tactics Workshop is strongly preferred prior to enrolling in Mastery Classes. The instructor will be expanding on the information learned in the workshop, and if you have yet to take it, you may be unable to know certain tips and complete certain problems effectively.

The Mastery Class consists of four class meetings in a one-week period. Students are expected to attend all 4 sessions. All times are CST.
