Rising juniors and seniors in the Tuscaloosa area are invited to register for the Summer ACT Crash Class hosted by Hillcrest High School. For the past six years, Hillcrest has offered an ACT preparatory class designed specifically to raise ACT scores for college entrance and/or scholarship opportunities. The class has produced outstanding results as ACT recently named Hillcrest High School as a high performing school based on the 2011 class’s ACT scores that were higher than both the state and national averages.

Benefits:

The ACT Crash Class is designed to offer targeted instruction for optimal results. Participants will receive the following:

• content lectures in all four areas plus writing

• group and independent practice tests

• full length practice test plus immediate score feedback

• troubleshooting for personal areas of weakness

Veteran Instructor: Amber Barnes

The ACT Crash Class participants will receive instruction from Amber Barnes - the creator of the original ACT Preparatory class offered at Hillcrest High School. Mrs. Barnes has taught in the Tuscaloosa County School System for 12 years and has offered ACT instruction and tutoring for the past six years.

Preparation Now:

The single most determining factor for ACT success is READING. Consistently reading a variety of texts (news articles, challenging books, short stories, magazine articles, etc.) exposes students to a wide array of syntactical structures, vocabulary, and content. Also, daily reading increases speed and comprehension skills for students, both of which are crucial for competitive ACT scores. It is strongly recommended for all ACT Crash Class participants to devote at least 30 minutes of reading time per day leading up to the test!

Items to Bring:

Participants should bring the following items to EACH session:

▪ Watch (digital preferred)

▪ Pencils and pens

▪ Highlighters

▪ Approved calculator (please check the ACT website for prohibited calculators: )

▪ Plenty of paper along with a 3-ring binder

▪ A copy of ALL past ACT scores with the score breakdown for each content area

Expectations for Success:

Participants must commit to the following to gain the best results from the ACT Crash Class:

▪ Sign up to take the June or September ACT

▪ Be punctual for and attend each session

▪ Come prepared with ALL necessary materials each day

▪ Be attentive and dedicated to the task of improving your ACT score
