Senior ACT Refresher!
Please get your seniors enrolled in the ACT Refresher course ASAP. This short course is designed to "blow the dust off" for those seniors who will take the ACT this fall. Time is short so get your seniors into this course quickly. A composite score jump can save thousands of dollars for students.
