Preparing your students for their College Readiness Exams
In more than 20 states across the country, the SAT® and ACT® are not just considered college entrance exams; they're also used as required summative assessments for high school graduation. Unlike other SAT® /ACT® preparation tools sold directly to consumers, Progress Learning partners directly with high schools to equip students with the resources they need to master these exams.
Use Progress Learning to review Test Taking Strategies
We have created a project for your students to complete that will provide them with the tools they will need to be successful on their ACT® and SAT® exams. This Test Taking Strategies project guides students in using Progress Learning to gain insights into how to attack the ACT®/SAT® test. Complete with detailed tasks and a grading rubric, we've done all of the heavy lifting for you.
ACT®/SAT® Coursework
We have a library of ACT®/SAT® C\coursework that you can use during whole group instruction or that you can assign to students. Students also have access to this coursework on their Individualized Study Plan.
Coursework is broken down by skill and provides a slide deck or video lesson which includes vocabulary that is relevant to the skill, step-by-step strategies to arrive at the correct answer and sample questions for students to work on with the support of an instructor (videos).
Coursework can be found in:
- Instructional Resources
- Student Study Plan
- Assignment Builder
12 Week ACT® Course Scope and Sequence
We have created a 12-week customizable Scope and Sequence to help you plan for the final push towards the ACT® exam. This fully customizable plan includes links to relevant articles, tools, and help documents.
