UAS hosts ACT and SAT study sessions, GED

The Student Success Center of the UAS-Sitka Campus will host study sessions to help high school students prepare for the ACT and SAT tests.

Workshops will be held 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturdays, Feb. 7-March 28. Weeknight sessions will be 6-8 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout February and March.  

The free service will help students prepare for the ACT or SAT test by taking practice tests and learning to become comfortable with timed test-taking situations. They will also gain help from UAS tutors: they will be able to bone up on their math, vocabulary, and writing skills. Services who provide these kinds of tutorials often charge $300 or more for the training; it is free for attendees of these UAS workshops.

For adult learners, UAS Student Success Center tutors will be holding GED test preparation study sessions 6-7 p.m. Wednesdays. UAS Academic Coach Joe Dubie will also conduct GED study sessions at the Sitka Job Center, 304 Lake Street, 8-10 a.m.  Wednesdays and 2-4 p.m. Fridays.

 GED students will study for each of the four GED tests: reasoning through language arts, social studies, math and science.
