4.5 hour ACT Jump Start / Fish Bowl Academy
Why sign up for the ACT JUMP START?
What is the ACT Fish Bowl?
The ACT Jump Start prepares students from being blindsided by this tricky and high-stakes test. The ACT Jump Start Academy is a quick overview that prepares students for each of the sub-sections of the test.
The ACT Fish Bowl allows teacher-coaches to observe & learn the ACT content and strategies, and then use FOL resources to teach further sections on their own.
- Students participate in two 2:15 sessions — English/Reading and Math/Science — and learn the content and structure of each test. Participants take a pre-arranged break between the two sessions.
- GOAL SCORES and PACING—the key elements for success! Students learn how to set their goal score and use pacing strategies to reach it.
- Students review the key traps and tricks on each subject test.
- Students review critical content in English, math, reading, and science.
Students receive a comprehensive handout of the key tips, tricks, and strategies from the class to follow during lecture and later for review. They use the ACT test 76CPRE to take practice passages in class, and use for further practice.
