Test Prep Opportunities

Preparing for the ACT and SAT can feel daunting at times.  The reality is that every day, with every class you take, you are preparing for these exams.  However, that doesn’t mean that additional preparation wouldn’t be helpful.

Juniors, as you have heard, you should take the ACT/ SAT at least once (preferably twice) this semester.  Plus, you will all be taking the ACT on March 21^st during the school day for free as a part of the state’s focus on college/ career readiness.

In order to best help you prepare for the spring tests, there are a couple of great opportunities coming up that you can consider.

There is a FREE opportunity for students to focus on preparing for the Math sections of the ACT and SAT.  This 4 week “Mastering the Math” course will be held in the WKHS library on 4 consecutive Sunday’s from 11:00 – 1:30pm.  The class begins on February 12^th and runs through March 5^th.  Register for this by signing up in the WKHS Counseling Center.  (The sign-up sheet is on the center island in the front of the counseling center – just add your name and contact information to register.)

Additionally, many students are interested in test strategies and so once again this year we have partnered with ZAPS, a test prep company, who provides practice tests and a study guide to help students prepare for the ACT.  ZAPS will be conducting a webinar open only to WKHS students on Sunday and Monday, February 19^th and 20^th from 6:30 – 9:00pm.  There is a cost of $79.99 if you would like to take this live webinar and receive the testing resources.  You will need to register for this test prep course online at http://register.doorwaytocollege.com/webinars and you must register no later than February 13^th.

Juniors, I hope you take advantage of one or both of these test prep opportunities!
