College admissions test prep classes scheduled at IVCC

Illinois Valley Community College’s Continuing Education Office will offer classes in February and March for college-bound high school students planning to take standardized college admissions tests.

The class de-mystifies the American College Testing (ACT) or Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and can help relieve anxiety about the upcoming exams. Participants will take practice tests and review questions as well as learn test-taking skills, answering strategies, exam pacing and the scoring system.

Each class meets for two sessions on the main Oglesby campus. Students looking to prepare for the ACT can choose from two classes, whichever best fits their schedule.

• The first ACT Test Prep class will cover reading, writing, English and math strategies. It will meet from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on February 7 and February 21. The class ID is 27423.
• The second ACT class will meet from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. February 28 and March 7. The February class will cover reading, writing and English strategies, and the March class will cover math strategies. The class ID is 27424.
• SAT Test Prep will meet from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. on March 7 and March 21. The first session will cover English and reading strategies and the second will cover math strategies. The class ID is 27425.

Tuition for each 2-session class is $135.
