Frequently Asked Questions: How do I know which course to sign up for? Choose the course that occurs during the time of the school year when you are the least busy. Sign up for a course that is not at the same time as a sport, a play, a school overnight trip, or a retreat that will make you absent, if possible. Coming to every single class during your course is important. Do I need to take the ACT before taking the course? No. The first class of every course will include a full-length ACT, scored just like a real ACT, so students will be able to see their baseline scores and their strengths and weaknesses. It is fine to take the ACT prior to the course, but not a requirement. The most important time to sign up is during the time of year when you are least busy. How many times should I take the ACT? You should take the ACT early and often. Take it as many times as you can. Send your score to Vianney (or your high school) every time you take it, but you don’t need to send it to colleges until after you’ve already earned the score you want them to see. Every time you take the ACT, it is good practice, and you never know which will be your best testing day. At the very least, take it twice your junior year and once your senior year, and more than that is better.
