ACT

The ACT is a college entrance exam, similar to the SAT, used by most colleges and universities. The ACT consists of four subject area tests in English, Reading, Math, and Science, along with an optional writing section, which most schools require. This exam is recommended for those who need an alternative to the SAT and have a solid science foundation.

ENGLISH & MATH

Reading with Vocabulary:

The objective of the class is to prepare students for further studies by enriching their knowledge of vocabulary and reading skills. Every class starts off with a vocabulary quiz, and students work with the passages that use the vocabulary.

Book Reading,Writing with Grammar:

Constant reading improves students' creativity and develops good reading habits. The class requires students to read at least one book, take reading quizzes, and submit their writing work every week.

Math Concept & Problem Solving:

After learning basic concepts, students improve their mathematical skills with repetitive exercises consisting word problems, SOL problems, and math competitions problems.

Accelerated reading program:

New students will take a reading level test in order to receive a list of books that correspond with their reading level. Students are tested on a book from their list every week to effectively improve reading comprehension skills and vocabulary.

AP SUBJECT

To survive the competitiveness of college admissions, many high school students are taking 6 to 7 AP classes. To receive good scores (4 or 5) on AP exams, which are held every May, students must prepare thoroughly. Taking SAT Subject tests together can help save time.


SAT II (SUBJECT TESTS)

Many prestigious colleges require two or three SAT II Subject Test scores. Some may designate the subjects, but most leave the choice to students. It is helpful to decide when to take SAT II tests based on the student's course selection. Generally, students take subject tests in the same year of their AP exams. That way, they can prepare for both tests concurrently. Students should start preparing around January, as both tests are in May or June.
