PrepFactory is a popular site for SAT and ACT practice activities. This fall PrepFactory added practice activities for middle school language arts and math topics. While the practice activities on their own are useful, they’re more useful if students first complete the strategies lessons in PrepFactory.
In each section of PrepFactory students have the option to complete a strategy review before attempting a series of review activities. Alternatively, students can just go to the strategy section of PrepFactory’s ACT & SAT sections. In the strategy section students can work through eight modules. The strategy module begins with an overview of the ACT and SAT in general. That section includes knowledge of the purpose of the test and general strategies that can be applied to almost any other test-taking situation. After completing the general strategies section students move on and work through seven specific methods for handling the sections of the ACT and SAT exams.
To keep the strategy lessons engaging, PrepFactory uses a variety of question formats throughout each unit. Students won’t be slogging through the same style of multiple choice for hours on end to complete a strategy review. Instead, each section is kept short and sweet with a mix of multiple choice, sorting, and fill-in-the-blank activities.
As your students start to think about the next ACT or SAT offering, have them try the strategy reviews in PrepFactory to prepare to do their best.
