Prepare For College Entrance Exam

McHenry County College, (MCC) in conjunction with its Kids and College program, will offer ACT Prep classes, utilizing the Barron’s ACT book, from 1-4:50 p.m. on four consecutive Saturdays beginning Jan. 7, 2012. Classes take place in Room E121 at MCC, located at 8900 U.S. Hwy. 14 in Crystal Lake.

The goal of the four-day comprehensive class is to improve student ACT scores.  Each class section focuses on specific subject matter including math, science, reading and English. The Barron’s book is included in the cost of the class and is distributed the first day of class. The class does not include the actual ACT exam. Students should register separately for the exam and should consult their school guidance counselor.

An ACT Practice test is also offered from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 4 in Room E204. The practice test is designed to give students the experience of taking all four tests at one sitting and to see where they may need some additional study times. Additional prep classes and practice tests will be offered throughout the 2012 school year.

Cost of the four-day class is $165, using course ID: NKC S04-015; and $20 for the practice test, using course ID: NKC S04-006. To register for the prep class or practice test with a credit card, call the MCC Registration Office at (815) 455-8588.

For more information, call Marie V. Frostman, Educational Opportunities coordinator at MCC, at (815) 479-7559 or email her at: mfrostman@mchenry.edu.
