Attention Jurior Parents: ACT now!

I apologize that this is getting sent out on literally last minute notice. I had received a couple of emails over the couple months about ACT prep but continued to disregard them as I get many other sorts of ACT prep emails that aren't really worth noting. So, after getting yet ANOTHER email about this one I thought I'd better look into it more and wish I would have done so sooner! This sounds like it would be a good course for students planning to take the ACT for the first time (or re-taking it). But, I thought I'd send it out so any juniors who might want to sign up can do so if they'd like. The deadline for enrolling is midnight tomorrow. I did give out information to juniors today as well.

The North Dakota Center for Distance Education (ND CDE), North Dakota’s online education service provider, wants you to be aware that now is the time to enroll students in ND CDE’s, “College Entrance Exam Preparation” (CEEP) course. The course significantly improves the ACT Test performance of high school Juniors taking the ACT Test for the first time, and it enables dramatic increases in scores* for Seniors retaking the ACT Test**. The course is completed entirely online. A key feature of the course is that students’ current capabilities are assessed in reading comprehension, writing, math, and study skills. Science Reasoning is not addressed. Based on the assessment, the courseware provides a learning path for the students to follow. The course employs multiple methods of instruction, including video streaming, problem-solving, and focused applications. Lessons are followed by practice tests that are computer graded and provide immediate feedback. In addition, ND CDE provides a help desk for additional guidance and assistance.

 

This year ND CDE has partnered with Shmoop (http://www.shmoop.com/) to provide students enrolled in the CEEP course access to their ACT prep materials, which includes four practice tests for each of the five ACT subject areas: Math, Science Reasoning, English, Reading and Writing.

Students using this in conjunction with the CEEP course will be much more knowledgeable and prepared for the actual exam.
