The July ACT is coming up. If that’s your test, now is the time to do the prep. (If you need guidance, come see us! We have over 20,000 hours of experience! Just drop us a line or give us a call!) Review the English section, it’s an easy one to improve on! Learn the …
A final one for today: You still have about 5 hours of productive time. Identify crucial math facts and/or punctuation rules, focus and learn them. After all …some squirrel species can remember the location of as many as 9,000 nuts!
