If you are a parent of a junior, you are aware that all<\/var>11th graders will be taking the ACT on Tuesday, February 28, 2017 and the ACT WorkKeys on Wednesday, March 1, 2017<\/var><\/strong>(more details below in this newsletter). In an effort to help student prepare, we are dedicating every other Wednesday during Enhancement to ACT prep and strategies until the end of February. In early December, we discussed math prep and strategies and this past week we emphasized the writing portion. To provide students with tools and resources, we have developed a Google classroom for ACT Testing Strategies. Every junior and their parent\/s were invited to join via email. Please take some time to either visit your<\/var>\u00a0student’s account or your invited access to Google classroom and encourage your child to prepare for the ACT. There are also resources available on the counseling website for 11th\/12th graders under Test Prep.<\/var><\/div>\n
How can you help your child?<\/var><\/div>\n
    \n
  1. Help your child set a reachable goal on the ACT. All juniors received a summary sheet of their ACT Aspire results. This was also sent home in August. Look at the composite score range and set a reasonable goal. Also, look at the summary sheet to find out which of the 5 subject areas had the lowest score range and encourage extra practice in that area.<\/var><\/li>\n
  2. Create a practice schedule for your child. There are a multitude of resources available for your child to practice from an app on his\/her phone to paper and pencil practice tests. Understand what works best for your child (and what he\/she will actually do) and encourage him\/her to practice. If we don’t practice, we don’t get better! Practice can also help relieve test anxiety.<\/var><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    We have offered an incentive to your child. On each student’s ACT Aspire summary page, there is a composite range (i.e. 18-21). If your child receives a composite score at the top of his\/her range (for the example it would be a 21), he\/she will earn an exam exemption for second semester to be used in any course.<\/var><\/div>\n
