Registration and Topics at:http://www.gillacamp.com/ http://www.visitjacksonville.com/calendar/index.cfm?action=daily&sdate=08-01-10&edate=08-01-10&eventid=10731 Sun, 01 Aug 2010 00:00:00 CST Getting into college today is competitive; even with good grades. Many students don't realize that most colleges accept the best score from either the SAT or the ACT for admission. Each test is different, and many students find the testing strategy of the ACT a better fit to reflect their skills. Some research indicates that the ACT is a better predictor of long term student success in college. So why not choose the test that best reflects YOUR best? Research indicates that the right test preparation positively affects test scores. We feel confident, based on our years of experience, that UNF's Division of Continuing Education can help you achieve your goals. Our instructors are experts, and they are dedicated to improving your performance. They will help you identify your trouble spots and master trick questions, plan a strategy to move through the exam, while reducing your stress. Our philosophy is that if you know what to expect and how to approach the exam, your anxiety will be reduced, and you will be able to keep your concentration at a high level throughout the exam. The ACT is a national college admission examination that consists of subject area tests in English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science. Although the Writing portion is optional, many colleges and universities now require the scores for the ACT Writing portion so admissions officers recommend that applicants sit for all portions of the test. Our course includes preparation for this additional writing component. The ACT test includes 215 multiple-choice questions. It takes about four hours to complete all parts of the exam. In the U.S., the ACT is administered on five national test dates-in October, December, February, April, and June. Check with your guidance counselor or visit www.actstudent.org for more ACT information or to register for the test. All students must have a copy of the following book: "The Real ACT Prep Guide" by Peterson's (ISBN: 0768926750). It is widely available at most bookstores. This week-long intensive course meets Aug. 5-9, 2010 from 9AM to 4PM. For more information, please call our office or visit us online.
