Short Hills Fall 2015 ACT Advanced Class

Greetings!

CATES is happy to announce dates for the ACT Advanced Class for students taking the September & October ACT! Due to current space constraints, the number of students allowed to attend will be limited--the deadline for registration is 5pm two days before the first class. All classes will be conveniently held at Millburn High School.

We recommend our Advanced Class to rising seniors who want one last crack at the ACT before the November 1 Early Decision/Action deadline and/or rising juniors who want to finish their testing before AP season in the spring. The CATES Advanced Class provides students with a different perspective on the ACT, including target scoring, timing strategies, and highly specialized techniques and drills for every ACT question type. When possible, tutors cluster students into smaller groups to provide a more personalized experience.

This intensive course includes 40 hours of master instruction and 30 hours of mock testing, focusing on the following: Techniques for managing your time to maximize your score on Reading & Science; content-specific strategies and drills for the ACT math questions; strategies and drills for common grammar errors in the English section and ways to boost your Essay score into the double digits.

Highlights:

• Two intensive weeks in the summer; weekend mock tests and test reviews in September
• Classes begin August 17th and are led by a CATES Head Tutor
• Small class size: only 5-12 students per class
• 40 hours of master instruction and strategy across all aspects of the ACT
• 7 LIve 4-hour Mock Tests using actual ACT tests given in the recent past
• 70 hours of total preparation
• Students assigned mandatory independent prep work between August 28 and Sept 12 test
• All sessions include individualized feedback to help your student reach her/his target scores
• CATES provides all materials
• Each student receives their own personal CATES HQ (our online prep system) account to track progress
• Price: $1799 (only $1649 if you register with a friend)
