Recommended Provider
John Baylor Program is MREA’s recommended ACT Test Prep Partner. The John Baylor Program raises the average school ACT score by an average of 2 points, which is a 6 percent improvement. For many students, a 6 percent improvement makes a big difference on post-secondary school admissions and scholarships.
The John Baylor Program engages ALL students, not just those who are gifted and motivated. The content is high quality, focused on two messages:
- Motivating students to prepare and do their very best on the ACT
- Math, reading and science content and tips students need to do their very best on ACT
Program Implementation
Districts which implement the program select a coordinator who receives training based on plans for using the program videos. John Baylor Test Prep when run optimally is a 12-week program. To run the full 12-week schedule, sessions are held one day a week. The content should be shown during class sessions, and students can view the videos at home as well.
