Those participating can expect to go over testing strategies and tips, as well as review of common test topics. Students will take practice tests, participate in skill building activities, and work on improving their scores in ACT Math, ACT English, ACT Reading, and ACT Science. This week of ACT skills practice prepares students for the July ACT, which will be given at UA Rich Mountain on Saturday, July 17th. Registration for this test is separate from the camp and must be completed by June 25th.
