Summer Test Prep!

Presented for the first time, Bloomington Public Schools and Breakaway Test Prep are pleased to offer an innovative small group test-prep class exclusively for Bloomington-Jefferson and Bloomington-Kennedy students this summer.
Beginning Thursday, August 2nd, Breakaway Test Prep will provide an intensive four-week, 12-hour program designed to help get your student ready to take the ACT.  Breakaway will provide three hours of ACT instruction on four consecutive Thursday mornings in August (August 2nd, August 9th, August 16th, and August 23rd). Each class will be held from 9:00am – 12:00pm, and will take place at Bloomington-Jefferson High School.
This course will provide thorough reviews of all sections of the exam – English, math, reading, science, and writing.

Students should expect to complete approximately 2-3 hours of homework for each class. In addition to the Thursday classes, Breakaway recommends that students schedule a practice pre-test in May or June as well as a post-test in late August or early September to measure their progress. Breakaway offers practice tests every weekend at its office in St. Louis Park.
The price for the program is $595.00  Register by June 1st, 2018 and take advantage of early-bird pricing of only $495.00. The price includes 12 hours of instruction, pre- and post-class practice tests, and all materials. The deadline to register is July 20th.
