The Golden Fold's 2014 SUMMER TEST-PREP ACADEMY

Our SUMMER TEST-PREP ACADEMY is not affiliated with the ASVAB, SAT, or ACT companies. The tests are referenced in the below image due to the focus of the SUMMER TEST-PREP ACADEMY. We will be preparing our 15 participating students for the popular college entrance exams (SAT and ACT exams) by (1) aiding them to create online profiles for the SAT, ACT, and a practice ASVAB test website, (2) take the released practice tests for the exams, (3) complete learning style assessments, and (4) receive personalized guidance to improve in areas of exam preparedness using some of the FREE online platforms that are publicly available. There is a $20 donation to participate in the nine sessions which will be held each Tuesday evening in July and September 2014 at the Boys & Girl's club in Virginia Beach. The donation, made payable to the "Gamma Xi Uplift Foundation" will be to defray operating costs primarily. There is a limit of 15 participants on a first-come first served basis.
