Once again, high school students are preparing to take the ACT. To help students at North succeed on the ACT, there is the ACT Cambridge Review Test Preparation Course.

This course takes place on Thursdays in room 208 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. It started on Oct. 29 and ends Dec. 10, making for a total of seven sessions.

“The review course is for any students interested in taking the ACT,” teacher of the math and science portion of the course Patricia Bartell said.

Along with Bartell, Mary Baker, and Tom Daugherty help with the course. Baker teaches the English and reading portions of the course and Daugherty is the coordinator. To help students prepare for the ACT, Bartell and Baker review with students some basic concepts of high school math, science, English, and reading. The students also learn test taking strategies and take a practice test. Junior Ida Asega is taking this course and she hopes it will help her achieve a 27 on the ACT.

“I just wanted to take it because I want to get a good score on the ACT because it really helps when applying for college to have a good ACT score,” Asega said.

While it is too late to sign up this year, the ACT is offered in February.This course will also be available next spring. It cost $125 and is on a first come, first serve basis, with only 30 spots open.

“[I would recommend this course] to any students who want to do well or improve on the ACT,” Bartell said.
