The ACT 

The ACT is the college-prep test taken by most students in Minnesota because it is required by the state schools in Minnesota and is accepted by almost all colleges in the US.  There will also be a one-week class from August 4-8. The test consists of four parts: English, math, reading, and science.  The science and writing parts are now optional. Test dates for 2025-26 are Sept. 6, Oct. 18, Dec. 13, Feb. 14, Apr. 11, June 13, and July 11.

Most colleges and universities will now accept either the SAT or the ACT for admission, but some of the state schools in Minnesota require the ACT.

How to enroll

If you wish to enroll your son or daughter in my August class, please click on the EP Community Ed button in the top right corner of this page. You will register through Community Ed (rather than directly with me) and the course fee will be $399.

Financial assistance is also available: to apply, complete the section at the bottom of the registration form.

Student selection will be made on a first-come-first-served basis. EP Community Ed. will send registrants a confirmation email soon after its arrival.

Registration in a course does not register a student for the test itself; that is still the obligation of the student or parent. ACT registration is at www.actstudent.org.

If you have any questions, please call me at 952-934-7628 (day or evening) or email me at mike@mikeholmtestprep.com.
