Area high school students planning to take the ACT can prepare for the test by enrolling in an ACT preparation class at Motlow State Community College’s Moore County campus. Classes will meet each Monday on Sept. 12, 19, 26, Oct. 3, and 10, from 6-8:30 p.m. in Simon Hall, room 132.
The registration deadline is Sept. 7, and the course is limited to 35 students. Registration forms can be obtained on Motlow’s Workforce Development and Extended Services web site (mscc.edu/wdes). Completed forms can be mailed or faxed to the address indicated on the form. However, registration is not complete until payment is received.
The cost is $60, plus $34.95 for a textbook, with each to be paid separately. Registrants should write a check for the registration fee to Motlow State Community College. For a textbook, checks should be written to the Motlow Bookstore. Textbooks will be available only on the first night of class. Those wishing to purchase a book with cash are asked to have the exact amount.
The ACT prep classes are designed to prepare students for the national ACT on Oct. 22, but taking the prep class does NOT register a student to sit for the actual ACT. Students must register separately with ACT to take a national exam; the registration deadline is Sept. 16. For more information about ACT registration, visit ACT.org.
For more information about the prep course, call Motlow’s Office of Extended Services at 931-393-1760 or 1-800-654-4877, ext. 1760.
