Preparing to take the National ACT test? Owens Community College offers a program titled “Building Confidence with ACT Prep” in March. The class is coordinated through the College’s Workforce and Community Services.

The ACT preparation class occurs Monday evenings, Mar. 2-23, 2009, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the College’s Workforce and Community Services building on Tracy Road in Northwood.

During each of the four sessions, students will be tutored in all five sections of the ACT test. The actual ACT is comprised of one test in each of the following areas: English, math, reading, science reasoning, and writing. In addition to being tutored in these areas through
one-on-one teaching, students will learn traditional testing strategies such as how to take a timed test and how to find the elusive answer to a difficult question.

Owens also serves as a host site for the national ACT test. The next testing date after the ACT
preparation class is Apr. 4. Prior registration through the ACT organization is required.

Registration for the ACT preparation class must be completed by Feb. 25. Limited seating is available and early registration is recommended. For more information, or to register for the class, call (567) 661-7357 or 1-800-GO-OWENS, Ext. 7357.
