PETERSON'S ONLINE COURSE FOR THE ACT IS UNIQUE FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL STUDENT--NO TWO STUDENTS
WILL TAKE THE SAME EXACT COURSE.
Students get personalized lessons based on a pretest to give them extra help where they need it and challenge them on their stronger
skills. Also included are three timed, full-length practice tests. Essay-writing prompts and an automatic essay-scoring feature prepare
your students for the optional ACT essay. Full, medium, and short versions of the course give students the most powerful program in
the time they have available.
Fun interactive activities such as drag and drop matching, educational games, and interactive vocabulary cards encourage students to
complete the course. Kinesthetic learners will benefit just as much as visual learners from this hands-on approach.
Affordable site license pricing is available to high schools and districts.
