This year, an ACT Prep class will be offered by Lakes Community High School to current juniors and taught by District 117 teachers. The objective of the class is to learn and practice test-taking strategies in preparation for the ACT exam within the comfort of familiar surroundings and content teachers. Students will attend a series of sessions that will acquaint them with the expectations of the test, enabling them to analyze their own results on the practice test, and sharpen their understanding of key skills covered on the test. Please check this Information Letter for LCHS ACT Test Prep 2024-25.
