Last spring I shared with you the ACT Test Prep resources my rising senior used. She took the ACT last June, made the score she hoped for and was accepted to the college at the top of her list! Now that my son is a rising senior, we are using the same resources.
I now am on the ‘other’ side of homeschooling high school. I have a graduating senior, a rising senior and a rising freshman! Our third child will begin high school in the fall. Homeschooling high school is now one of my favorite times with my children. What a privilege to go through all these steps, processes and preparations. I am confident that the resources we have used have helped prepare my children.

ACT Strategy Smart
Ace the ACT with the strategies you need for a high score. Written by America’s Top ACT Expert!
My daughter, soon to be graduating senior, is our resident history, language and fine arts wiz. She took the ACT in the fall. So the end of her junior year, last summer and early part of this senior year were a good time for ACT test prep! Soon after that, she turned this resource over to her brother, a junior.
The ACT Strategy Smart suggests four weekly study sessions. Each week covers English, Math, Science, and Reading portions of the exam. An optional fifth week shares strategies for taking the ACT Writing Test.

This is our freshman year homeschooling and it’s all brand new. I’m enjoying it so far, but trying to help prepare and figure out when and how to transition to the community college is tricky.
Just trying to be prepared early–college prep is such a huge responsibility!
