July ACT/SAT Small Group Class
There are spaces left in our ACT/SAT Small Group July class! The class is perfect for rising juniors. We will introduce both college admission tests to the students and go over tips and strategies for them. We will also teach the students how to practice at home. There will be homework given. (The first class will be four hours long for students to take a practice ACT test that will be used as a baseline score. Their PSAT results will be used as their SAT baseline score.)
