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.

of the day from German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe:
What you get by achieving your goals
is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.
