ACT prep class offered at Owens Community College

Owens Community College, based in Perrysburg Township, will offer a class for high school students preparing to take the ACT test.

The cost is $100.

The class, called “Building Confidence with ACT Prep,” is from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Mondays, Oct. 1-22 at the college’s Arrowhead Park Learning Center on Indian Wood Circle in Maumee. Students are asked to bring a pencil, paper, and a calculator.

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 is a host site for the national ACT test. The next testing date after the preparation class is Oct. 27. Prior registration through the ACT organization is required.

Limited seating is available and early registration is recommended.
