Signature Program ACT Mini Boot Camp Experience

The Signature Program participants had the opportunity to be a part of an ACT Mini Camp hosted by
Soror Carolyn Thomas. This session gave them informative information on what to expect and how to
prepare for the ACT. Since students are expected to take this test in high school, we thought it would
be a great idea to provide some strategies that could help these participants be successful on this test.

Soror Thomas provided an interactive session that really got the participants attention and ac-
tively involved. She shared what subjects would be on the test how many questions for each subject
area and how much time for each. Although many methods on how to prepare for this test was cov-
ered, test taking strategies were one of the most valuable lessons taught on this day. Our students
were very appreciative of the techniques shared, and they were able to get a first hand look at the for-
mat of the test, because Soror Thomas provided sample test booklets during this session.

Soror Thomas not only talked about these strategies, she provided visual examples for some of
test questions that was considered big ticket items and would help raise the participants scores on the
ACT. The participants were able to work with others to solve questions and share out with the entire
group. The ACT Mini Boot Camp was a huge success, and we feel confident that our participants will be
very successful on this assessment.
