ACT PREP
Okay, no one really enjoys taking a test. However, being well prepared will help ease your stress. Your ACT or SAT scores do not get you into college, but they will help determine which college to attend. Admissions staff look at your complete application to get a picture of who you are and how you may fit into their particular school. The ACT score is only one part of the picture that also includes your high school grades and involvements, vigor of your coursework, personal essay and other accomplishments.
Take the stress out and work to do the best you can on this very important test. Attend an ACT preparation class at the Milwaukee Career Center. We can help! Check out the schedule.
