Pre-ACT 8/9 Test Prep
Building a Strong Academic Foundation for College Readiness.
Our Pre-ACT 8/9 Prep Program is thoughtfully designed for middle school students who are preparing for the Pre-ACT 8/9, the first step in the ACT College and Career Readiness pathway. Our program builds foundational academic skills, introduces key test-taking strategies, and helps students gain the confidence needed to perform well on standardized assessments early in their academic journey.
Program Highlights:
🔹 Diagnostic Test & Skill Analysis
Every student begins with a full-length Pre-ACT 8/9 diagnostic test to determine their baseline scores in English, Math, Reading, and Science. This assessment helps us tailor a custom study plan that targets each student’s unique needs.
🔹 Individualized Learning Plan
Students follow a personalized curriculum developed from diagnostic data. Our lessons focus on building essential skills aligned with ACT standards while addressing specific areas of weakness.
🔹 Skill Development by Subject
We teach age-appropriate strategies for time management, process of elimination, understanding question formats, and avoiding common test-taking mistakes.
🔹 Confidence Building & Motivation
Our supportive instructors work closely with students to help them feel comfortable and confident when tackling standardized exams—often for the first time.
🔹 Progress Monitoring & Feedback
Students take regular practice tests to track their growth, and parents receive ongoing updates to stay informed about their child’s progress.
