Perspectives MSA juniors are preparing for the ACT in April, and their teachers are really riding them. Juniors are learning new strategies to tackle the test, just as teachers did when they were preparing for the test during high school.
MSA Paraprofessional Kenneth Taylor says he scored a 21 on the ACT, and one of his strategies was to read and write a lot. “I didn’t study much in science and math,” said Taylor, a graduate of the Perspectives Joslin campus.
Media Writing teacher Brett McNeil said, “I think I scored a 28.” McNeil said he didn’t study for the ACT at all. “If I would have prepared, I would have scored higher,” he said.
McNeil believes a very important strategy is to rest and bring something to eat and drink. “You should relax with the test,” he said. McNeil believes that it’s hard to take a test without rest.
English teacher Samantha Mondro scored a 22 on the ACT. Mondro says if she was more prepared she would have scored higher. She believes she was capable of scoring higher. “To be honest, I did nothing to prepare,” Mondro said.
Mondro believes an important strategy would be to have an analog watch to pace yourself and not run out of time on any part of the test. On a scale from 1 to 10, the ACT would score a 10 on importance, Mondro thinks.
“Because it dictates where you are able to attend college,” she said.
