BATON ROUGE, La., Nov. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- MasteryPrep
announced today that Appalachian State
University-GEAR UP (Boone,
NC) has entered into an agreement to provide digital access
to ACT Mastery Online for 10,900 North Carolina high school students.
Appalachian's GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for
Undergraduate Programs) is a federally funded college access
program designed to increase the number of students who are
prepared to enter and succeed in postsecondary education
immediately after high school.
"The Appalachian GEAR UP partnership works with 11 school
districts to support 15,000 students across western North Carolina. We're very pleased to work
with MasteryPrep to offer ACT Mastery Online. The high quality of
the materials will help prepare our students to achieve their
postsecondary education goals," says Dr. James Beeler, director of Appalachian GEAR
UP.
ACT Mastery Online, powered by Acrobatiq, is an online
digital resource portal built for today's on-the-go student.
Through predictive analytics and innovative adaptive learning
software, the content reacts to student responses and adapts to
their skill level in real time. Students "learn by doing" through a
series of multimedia course material, content, and practices tests.
The zero-prep teacher resource includes online monitoring of
student and class progress through an extensive data analysis
dashboard.
"The Appalachian GEAR UP partnership is leveling the playing
field by providing quality test preparation to thousands of
low-income, first-generation families who traditionally cannot
access premium college readiness supports. This directly translates
to more western North Carolina
students preparing to win scholarships and gain entrance into
four-year institutions," says Craig
Gehring, founder and chief executive officer of
MasteryPrep.
With ACT Mastery Online, students gain access to 70
self-paced modules in English, Math, Reading and Science, 1,000
ACT-style practice questions, extended practice drills, and one
full-length practice test. The software and licenses are provided
at no cost to students, families, districts, or schools.
