  • Instruction for English, Math, Reading, Science, and test-taking strategies

  • The Official ACT Prep Guide

  • Breakaway study guide

  • Proctored practice tests

Students should expect to spend two hours of additional practice at home after each session for the best results.

Classes will be held Wednesdays after-school from 2:45 - 4:15 pm in the auditorium on Jan 19, 26, Feb 2, 9, 16, Mar 2, 9, 16. Practice Tests will be held on Saturdays, also in the auditorium, on Jan 8, Feb 12, and Mar 5 from 9:00 - 12:15 AM. The ACT is currently scheduled for March 22nd at school.

The cost per student is $265. Financial assistance is available.

Classes and practice tests will be conducted after school in the PCHS auditorium 2:45 - 4:15 pm and will also be connected through Zoom.

Why Test Prep?

College admissions exams, like the ACT, can prove challenging because the standardized nature of the test means that it doesn’t look like tests that students take as part of their high school classes. However, the standardized nature also means that it is a very “teachable” test. Each ACT asks similar questions, testing the same content. A strong test preparation program will familiarize students with the test format and timing, teach test-taking strategies, review content, and provide opportunities for students to practice with real ACT tests.

Breakaway Prep Park City has designed an ACT prep curriculum based on hundreds of hours of one-on-one work, learning what works and what doesn’t. When students know what to expect on the test, they are more confident, less stressed, and typically improve their scores by 3-5 points.
