ACT invites students to join them for a free
online event to help prepare for the ACT– a live session covering all four
subject areas on the ACT test. ACT expert instructors will outline
the most commonly tested concepts on the ACT and provide an overview of the
powerful interactive instruction available through ACT®Kaplan® Online
Prep Live. Students may bookmark this page: http://onlinepreplive.com/ and plan
on joining ACT on the above date. If they can’t make the live event, check back
later for a free on-demand recording of the presentation.
Quote
of the day from Woodrow Wilson:
You are not here merely to make a
living. You are here in order to enable
the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope
and achievement. You are here to enrich
the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.
