Payment: Check with your counselor on how he/she prefer for you to pay. Your counselor may want you to pay prior to the workshop or he/she may prefer for you to pay at the workshop. If you are attending a workshop at a nearby school, contact that school’s counselor to see how he/she prefers your payment. ACT Prep Books and Pre-Programmed Calculators: Chad will have the ACT preparation book, Chad Cargill's ACT Prep, available for purchase after the workshop. During the workshop he will explain how the concepts and notes directly relate to the discussion and exercises in the book. The book is $20 including tax. The notes packet provided for each student will have page references to the book as well. Pre-programmed calculators will be available for purchase after the workshop. A pre-programmed TI-83 Plus calculator is $109 plus tax and a pre-programmed TI-84 Plus Silver Edition is $139.99 plus tax. Visit our online store for details on each calculator and to review a list of pre-programmed equations you will receive. If you already have one of these two calculators, the equations can be downloaded after the workshop for $15. For a discussion on the difference in the two types of calculators, visit our FAQ on our website. Important: We will not do a practice test or practice modules during the 3 to 3 1/2 hour workshop. Our philosophy is that you don't need to pay money for someone to watch you take a practice test then tell why the answers are right or wrong. You can do that on your own time, and any of the prep books do a great job of explaining answers to practice problems. The workshop is totally based on Chad’s experience of taking the test 18 times in high school and raising his score from a 19 to a 32. |
