The Raider Soup
November 2015
Welcome back!!!
Don't forget to get ready for the ACT by using John Baylor Prep!
Look what our students are saying about John Baylor Prep!
Keep in mind that these students only had about a week with the program. A couple of them didn't login until two days before the October test:
"I learned so much from just doing a few JBP sessions. I realized I was losing a lot of points because I didn't know a few simple strategies" - Camille Elmore, 12th grade, raised overall composite score 5 points to a 33
"The repetition of the math problems helped me learn how to work through some of the more difficult parts of the math section" - Ashley Satterfield, 12th grade, raised her math score 3 points
"JBP helped me to strategize and feel more confident approaching the Science portion of the ACT" - Claire Crane, 11th grade, first time test taker, 34 composite score
"The Science portion of the ACT is purely strategy. Without knowing the secrets to it there is no way to finish in the time allotted. The JBP program taught me the strategy needed and my score went up 7 points!" - Madelyn Hoffmann, 11th grade
"JBP has really helped me increase my ACT scores during the practice tests in my ACT elective class. After completing a few of the videos, assignments, and quizzes I have been able to raise my English and Reading scores 6 to 7 points during these practice tests." - Noah Burroughs, 11th grade, currently taking DHS ACT elective course
